New hope for Hard-to-Treat breast cancer: targeted combo enters final testing

NCT ID NCT07393321

First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This Phase 3 trial tests whether adding the experimental drug NTQ1062 to standard hormone therapy (fulvestrant) can slow or stop the growth of advanced HR+/HER2- breast cancer in people whose cancer has returned or worsened after hormone therapy. The study includes 210 adults with specific genetic changes (PIK3CA/AKT1/PTEN). Participants will receive either NTQ1062 plus fulvestrant or a placebo plus fulvestrant, and researchers will track how long the cancer stays under control.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
NTQ1062 (an AKT inhibitor) combined with fulvestrant
What this could lead to
If successful, this combination could offer a new treatment option for people with a specific genetic subtype of advanced breast cancer that has stopped responding to hormone therapy.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage Phase 3 trial with only 210 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The drug may not improve survival or could cause side effects like those seen with other AKT inhibitors.
