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.
