New drug duo aims to shrink breast tumors before surgery

NCT ID NCT02562118

Summary

This study is testing whether adding a drug called lenvatinib to standard hormone therapy (letrozole) can better shrink breast tumors before surgery. It involves post-menopausal women with newly diagnosed, hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. The research first aims to find a safe dose of the combination, then measure how well it reduces tumor size compared to historical data on letrozole alone.
