Scientists test new strategy to keep advanced breast cancer in check

NCT ID NCT02738866

Summary

This study is testing whether continuing the drug palbociclib, but pairing it with a different hormone therapy called fulvestrant, can help control metastatic breast cancer that has started growing again after initial treatment. It will involve about 60 people whose cancer progressed while on palbociclib and another type of hormone drug. The main goal is to see how long this new combination can keep the cancer from getting worse.
