New drug tested to stop breast Cancer's return

NCT ID NCT00877500

Summary

This study is for people with a type of breast cancer (HER2-negative) that did not completely disappear after standard chemotherapy before surgery. It tests whether adding a drug called ixabepilone after surgery helps control the cancer better than standard follow-up care alone. About 116 participants will be randomly assigned to receive either ixabepilone infusions or standard observation, and researchers will track if the cancer returns.
