New approach aims to make tough cancer treatment more bearable

NCT ID NCT05520723

Summary

This study tested whether giving two preventive medications (loperamide for diarrhea and G-CSF for low white blood cells) alongside the cancer drug sacituzumab govitecan could reduce its common and severe side effects. It involved 50 adults with advanced triple-negative or luminal breast cancer that had stopped responding to prior chemotherapy. The main goal was to see if this combination allowed patients to stay on their cancer treatment longer with fewer treatment interruptions.
