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

Summary

This Phase 2 trial is testing whether adding the drug dalpiciclib to standard anti-HER2 and hormone therapy can help keep advanced breast cancer from growing. It involves 57 women with HR+/HER2+ metastatic breast cancer whose disease has not worsened after initial treatment. The study measures how long participants live without their cancer progressing.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Dalpiciclib (a CDK4/6 inhibitor) combined with trastuzumab, pertuzumab, pyrotinib, and endocrine therapy (letrozole, anastrozole, exemestane, or fulvestrant)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a new first-line maintenance treatment option to delay cancer progression in people with HR+/HER2+ metastatic breast cancer.
What could go wrong
This is a small Phase 2 trial with only 57 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Side effects from the drug combination, such as diarrhea, are possible.
