Can a Two-Pronged antibody boost Chemo's power against a tough breast cancer?

NCT ID NCT07743632

First seen Aug 04, 2026 · Last updated Aug 05, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This phase 2 trial is testing whether adding an investigational drug called ivonescimab to standard chemotherapy before surgery can improve outcomes for people with triple-negative breast cancer. Ivonescimab is a bispecific antibody that works in two ways: it helps the immune system attack cancer cells and also blocks the tumor's blood supply. The study will compare two different chemo regimens combined with ivonescimab, measuring how often the cancer completely disappears by the time of surgery, and will also track side effects and long-term survival.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Ivonescimab, a bispecific antibody targeting PD-1 and VEGF, combined with standard chemotherapy (carboplatin, docetaxel, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide)
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could increase the chance of eliminating all visible cancer before surgery, potentially improving long-term outcomes for people with triple-negative breast cancer.
What could go wrong
This is a phase 2 trial, so results are preliminary. The combination may not improve response rates and could increase side effects compared to standard chemo alone.
