NCT ID NCT02950259

First seen Jan 03, 2026 · Last updated Jun 16, 2026 · Updated 24 times

Summary

This early-phase study tested whether an experimental immune therapy called IRX-2 is safe when given before standard chemotherapy in 16 people with early-stage breast cancer, including those with triple-negative breast cancer. The main goal was to see if IRX-2 caused any delays in surgery. Researchers also looked at how the treatment affected immune cells in the tumor. The study was completed and focused on safety and immune response, not on curing the disease.
