New hope for tough breast cancer: immune therapy trial targets aggressive cases

NCT ID NCT02971748

Summary

This study tests whether adding the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab to standard hormone therapy helps prevent cancer from returning in patients with a specific, aggressive type of breast cancer. It is for people whose cancer did not completely disappear after initial chemotherapy and who have completed or are about to start radiation. The goal is to see if boosting the body's immune system can help control the disease longer.
