Can a new pill slow advanced breast cancer in patients with a key gene mutation?
NCT ID NCT07784036
First seen Aug 25, 2026 · Last updated Aug 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial is testing whether adding an experimental drug called JYP0035 to the standard medicine fulvestrant can help people with a certain type of advanced breast cancer. The study focuses on patients whose tumors have a PIK3CA gene mutation and who have already tried hormone therapy. Half the participants will receive the new drug combination, while the other half will get a placebo with fulvestrant, to see if the combination delays cancer growth.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- JYP0035 capsules combined with fulvestrant
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this combination could offer a new treatment option for people with a specific genetic mutation in advanced breast cancer, potentially extending the time before the disease worsens.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase trial, so the drug may not prove more effective than placebo, and side effects are possible. Results may not apply to all patients with breast cancer.

Receipt of any anticancer therapy (including investigational anticancer drugs) within 4 weeks before first study drug administration, with the following exceptions: 1. Nitrosoureas or mitomycin C within 6 weeks before first dose (due to delayed toxicity); 2. Anticancer endocrine therapy, oral fluoropyrimidines, or small-molecule targeted drugs within 2 weeks or 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter) before first dose; 3. Anticancer traditional Chinese medicine/herbal formulations within 2 weeks before first dose; 4.
