Scientists test drug combo to supercharge breast cancer treatment

NCT ID NCT03571633

Summary

This study is testing whether adding a medication called pegfilgrastim to standard pre-surgery treatment improves outcomes for people with HER2-positive breast cancer. Pegfilgrastim helps boost white blood cell counts. Researchers want to see if this boost helps the main cancer drug, trastuzumab, work better to eliminate cancer cells before surgery. The trial involves 90 participants who will receive the standard treatment with or without the additional pegfilgrastim.
