Immunotherapy combo trial aims to outsmart aggressive breast cancer

NCT ID NCT03414684

Summary

This study is testing if adding an immunotherapy drug called nivolumab to standard chemotherapy (carboplatin) works better for controlling advanced triple-negative breast cancer that has spread. It involved 78 patients whose cancer had not been treated for its spread. The main goal was to see if the combination helps keep the cancer from growing for a longer period compared to chemotherapy alone.
