NCT ID NCT01928589
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at women with early-stage breast cancer who need both radiation and chemotherapy after surgery. It compares giving these treatments at the same time versus one after the other, to see if the combined approach has similar side effects and outcomes. About 81 women will take part, with most receiving the new same-time method.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
partial breast irradiation and chemotherapy
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a more convenient treatment schedule for early-stage breast cancer patients, potentially reducing the time needed for therapy.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase study (81 participants) comparing two approaches, so results may not apply broadly. There is a risk of increased side effects when combining treatments.
