Can a pill prevent dangerous platelet drops during breast cancer treatment?

NCT ID NCT07198672

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study tests whether herombopag tablets can prevent low platelet counts in 45 women with HER2-positive breast cancer who are receiving T-DM1 therapy. T-DM1 is effective but often causes low platelets, especially in Asian patients, which can force treatment delays or dose reductions. Participants will take herombopag at the start of each T-DM1 cycle to see if it keeps platelet levels safe.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

herombopag olamine tablets

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a way to prevent dangerous low platelet counts in HER2+ breast cancer patients on T-DM1, helping them complete their cancer therapy without delays or dose cuts.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early exploratory study with no control group, so results may not be definitive. The drug may not prevent low platelets effectively or could cause side effects.
