Trial halted early in search for better breast cancer control

NCT ID NCT03289039

Summary

This study tested whether adding a hormone-blocking drug (fulvestrant) to a targeted cancer drug (neratinib) worked better than the targeted drug alone for advanced breast cancer that had spread. It involved 21 women with specific types of breast cancer (HER2-positive and ER-positive) that had returned or spread despite previous treatments. The trial was terminated early, and its main goal was to see how long the treatment could keep the cancer from getting worse.
