Promising combo for Triple-Negative breast cancer stalls as trial ends early
NCT ID NCT03838367
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early-phase trial tested a drug called leronlimab combined with the chemotherapy carboplatin in people with a specific type of advanced triple-negative breast cancer (CCR5-positive). The goal was to find a safe dose and see if it could slow cancer growth. However, the study was stopped early after enrolling only 10 participants, so we have very little information about how well it worked or its risks.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- leronlimab (a monoclonal antibody) combined with carboplatin (a chemotherapy drug)
- What this could lead to
- If it had worked, this combination might have offered a new treatment option for a hard-to-treat breast cancer type.
- What could go wrong
- The trial was terminated early with only 10 participants, so results are very limited. It is unclear if the combination is safe or effective.
