NCT ID NCT04872985

Summary

This study is testing if adding an oral drug called pyrotinib to standard chemotherapy before surgery is more effective for a specific type of breast cancer. It involves 140 women with stage II-III, hormone-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer that has high levels of a protein called HER4. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either the real drug or a placebo pill alongside their chemo to see which leads to better tumor shrinkage.
