Can AI read a Tumor's DNA to predict which breast cancer drug will work?
NCT ID NCT07066917
First seen Oct 14, 2026 · Last updated Oct 15, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
Researchers are collecting blood, tumor and imaging data from 150 adults with locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer to understand why some treatments work and others stop working. The study follows people who receive standard modern therapies such as CDK inhibitors, antibody-drug conjugates, immune checkpoint inhibitors and PARP inhibitors. Using whole exome sequencing, circulating tumor DNA analysis, digital pathology and radiomics, the team aims to build a machine-learning tool that predicts response or resistance based on each patient's genetics and tumor profile.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could give doctors a data-driven way to pick the best treatment sequence for each person with advanced breast cancer and avoid drugs that are unlikely to help.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, so it does not test a new treatment and cannot prove that any biomarker-guided choice improves survival. The machine-learning tool may not generalize beyond the 150 participants or the specific treatments they receive.
