Immune system clues guide lighter chemo in breast cancer trial
NCT ID NCT07074106
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a more personalized chemotherapy plan for women with early-stage triple-negative breast cancer. The treatment is adjusted based on immune system activity in the tumor and imaging results. The goal is to see if a lighter chemo can still be effective, reducing side effects while keeping cancer from returning.
