NCT ID NCT05601440
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This phase 2 trial is testing whether a liquid biopsy (a simple blood test) can help choose the right treatment for people with ER+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer that has stopped responding to standard therapies. About 484 participants will be assigned to one of several drug arms or an observation group based on their tumor's DNA markers. The goal is to see if biomarker-guided treatment improves response rates and survival.
