NCT ID NCT04216472

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Apr 24, 2026 · Updated 25 times

Summary

This study tested a combination of two drugs (nab-paclitaxel and alpelisib) given before surgery to people with a specific type of aggressive breast cancer (triple-negative) that had stopped responding to standard chemotherapy. The goal was to see if the combo could shrink tumors more effectively. Only 6 people enrolled before the trial was stopped early, so results are limited.
