Can a drug work a second time? trial tests retreatment for tough breast cancers

NCT ID NCT02514681

Summary

This study tested whether restarting a drug called pertuzumab, along with standard treatments, could help control advanced HER2-positive breast cancer that had previously been treated with it. It involved 226 women with advanced breast cancer. The goal was to see if this retreatment approach could slow cancer growth better than continuing treatment without pertuzumab.
