First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This phase 2 trial is testing whether using gene tests (MammoPrint and BluePrint) to guide treatment can help people with a certain type of advanced breast cancer (HR+, HER2-negative) live longer. 64 participants will receive either chemotherapy (capecitabine) or hormone therapy based on their gene signature. The study focuses on a diverse group to make findings more widely applicable.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

Capecitabine (chemotherapy) and endocrine therapy

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that using gene tests to pick treatments improves survival for people with a hard-to-treat type of breast cancer.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase trial (64 people) with no control group, so results may not apply broadly. Chemotherapy has side effects like fatigue and nausea.
