Can a Triple-Drug combo keep advanced breast cancer in check?

NCT ID NCT07732491

First seen Jul 29, 2026 · Last updated Jul 30, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This phase II trial is testing whether adding a new oral drug called culmerciclib to standard anti-HER2 therapy and hormone therapy can help maintain control of advanced breast cancer that is both hormone receptor-positive and HER2-positive. The study enrolls women with metastatic or locally advanced breast cancer that cannot be removed surgically. Participants receive culmerciclib at increasing doses along with trastuzumab (with or without pertuzumab) and a doctor-chosen endocrine therapy, continuing until the disease worsens or side effects become unacceptable. The main goal is to see how long the cancer stays under control.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
culmerciclib combined with anti-HER2 therapy (trastuzumab with or without pertuzumab) and endocrine therapy
What this could lead to
If successful, this combination could offer a new maintenance treatment option to help delay disease progression in people with HR-positive, HER2-positive advanced breast cancer.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial with no control group, so results may not be definitive. The drug combination may cause side effects, and its benefit over existing treatments is not yet proven.
