Summary

This study tested a new immune-boosting treatment called IRX-2 in 16 people with early stage breast cancer. The goal was to see if giving IRX-2 before chemotherapy is safe and helps the immune system fight the tumor. The treatment was given before surgery, and researchers looked for any delays in surgery and changes in immune cells inside the tumor.
