Virus-Fighting drug tested to halt breast Cancer's spread to the brain

NCT ID NCT07383649

Summary

This study is testing if adding an antiviral drug (valganciclovir) to standard care can help control breast cancer that has spread to the brain in patients who also have a common virus called CMV. It will enroll about 28 adults to see if the treatment shrinks tumors, improves survival, and helps preserve memory and thinking skills. The main goal is to see if targeting the virus alongside cancer treatment provides better disease control.
