NCT ID NCT04443348
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 24, 2026 · Updated 31 times
Summary
This study tests whether adding different doses of radiation to a standard chemotherapy and immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) regimen before surgery can improve outcomes for people with lymph node-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer. About 120 participants will receive the combination, and researchers will measure immune cell activity in tumors and how many patients have no cancer left in their lymph nodes after treatment. The goal is to find a more effective pre-surgery treatment approach.
