Can a Triple-Drug combo tackle breast cancer brain metastases?

NCT ID NCT07745257

First seen Aug 04, 2026 · Last updated Aug 05, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This phase 2 trial is testing whether adding anlotinib to a combination of culmerciclib and endocrine therapy can control disease in people with HR-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer that has spread to the brain. The study enrolls adults with newly diagnosed or progressing brain metastases who do not need immediate local treatment. The goal is to see if this drug combination can delay brain tumor growth and improve overall outcomes.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
A combination of three drugs: culmerciclib (a CDK inhibitor), anlotinib (an anti-angiogenic agent), and standard endocrine therapy.
What this could lead to
If successful, this combination could offer a new treatment option to control brain metastases in HR+/HER2- breast cancer, potentially improving outcomes for a group with limited options.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial, so the benefits are uncertain. The drug combination may cause side effects, and results may not apply to all patients.
