First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This early-phase trial tested two oral drugs, dalpiciclib and chidamide, in 22 people with HR+/HER2- advanced breast cancer whose disease had worsened after CDK4/6 inhibitor therapy. The main goal was to find the safest dose. Researchers also looked at how well the combination shrank tumors and what side effects occurred.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

dalpiciclib and chidamide (oral drugs)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide a new treatment option for people with advanced breast cancer whose current therapy has stopped working.

What could go wrong

This is a very early, small phase 1b study with only 22 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The main goal is to find a safe dose, not yet to prove effectiveness.
