NCT ID NCT02022202
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at the DNA of breast tumors from 140 patients to understand why some cancers are destroyed by standard chemotherapy and others are not. Researchers analyzed genetic changes in the tumors and compared them to normal DNA. The goal is to find new drug targets and improve future cancer therapies.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
