Can an immune booster help chemotherapy fight metastatic breast cancer?

NCT ID NCT05747794

First seen Jul 30, 2026 · Last updated Jul 31, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This trial tests whether adding an experimental immunotherapy called eftilagimod alpha to standard chemotherapy (paclitaxel) can help people with HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer live longer. The study first finds the best dose of eftilagimod alpha, then compares the combination against chemotherapy alone. Participants receive the treatment in two phases: chemo-immunotherapy followed by immunotherapy alone.

Active substance

What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a new treatment option that extends survival for people with metastatic breast cancer.
What could go wrong
This is an early-to-mid-stage trial, so the combination may not prove more effective than chemotherapy alone and could cause additional side effects.
