NCT ID NCT02971748
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab to standard hormone therapy can help prevent recurrence in people with a rare, aggressive type of breast cancer called inflammatory breast cancer. Participants had hormone receptor-positive cancer that did not fully disappear after initial chemotherapy. The goal is to see if this combination improves how long people stay cancer-free after radiation treatment.
