NCT ID NCT04480814
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new blood test (liquid biopsy) that looks for cancer DNA in the blood of 30 women with advanced ER+/HER2- breast cancer. The goal was to see if the test can accurately find cancer mutations without needing a traditional tissue biopsy. The results will help doctors monitor cancer changes over time with a simple blood draw.
