First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether adding the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab to the chemotherapy drug carboplatin works better than carboplatin alone for breast cancer that has returned on the chest wall. The trial included 76 people with either triple-negative or hormone-resistant breast cancer. The main goal was to see if the combination could control the disease for at least 18 weeks.
