New hope for advanced breast cancer: umbrella trial tests smart drug combos

NCT ID NCT05933395

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

Summary

This phase 2 study is testing several drug combinations (fulvestrant plus either neratinib, alpelisib, or everolimus) in 135 postmenopausal women with advanced ER+/HER2- breast cancer that has progressed after CDK4/6 inhibitor treatment. The goal is to see which combination offers the best chance of stabilizing or shrinking tumors. Participants are assigned to a treatment arm based on their tumor's genetic profile.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

Fulvestrant, neratinib, alpelisib, everolimus

What this could lead to

If successful, this could identify effective drug combinations for patients whose cancer has stopped responding to standard CDK4/6 inhibitors, potentially slowing disease progression.

What could go wrong

This is a mid-stage trial with only 135 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. Side effects from the drug combinations could be significant, and not all arms may show benefit.
