New hope for Tough-to-Treat breast cancer: Two-Drug combo tested

NCT ID NCT02860000

Summary

This study tested whether adding the hormone therapy fulvestrant to a new drug called alisertib works better than alisertib alone for women with advanced breast cancer that has spread and stopped responding to standard hormone treatments. It involved 96 postmenopausal women. Researchers compared tumor shrinkage and time until the cancer worsened between the two treatment groups.
