NCT ID NCT04293393
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 23 times
Summary
This study tests whether a combination of two pills (letrozole and abemaciclib) works as well as standard chemotherapy before surgery for women with a common type of early breast cancer (HR-positive, HER2-negative). About 200 women with high or intermediate risk will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatments. The main goal is to see how many patients have little to no cancer remaining in the breast or lymph nodes after treatment.
