New drug combo tested to shrink tough breast cancer before surgery

NCT ID NCT02876107

Summary

This study is testing if adding a targeted drug called panitumumab to standard chemotherapy works better than chemotherapy alone before surgery for a fast-growing, hard-to-treat type of breast cancer. It aims to see which combination shrinks the tumor more effectively, potentially leading to less extensive surgery. The trial involves 42 women newly diagnosed with this specific aggressive cancer.
