First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 17, 2026 · Updated 23 times

Summary

This study looked at whether giving the drug palbociclib before surgery is possible for people with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), a very early form of breast cancer. It planned to enroll 24 participants, with half receiving the drug and half not. The main goal was to see if enough people could complete the treatment. The study was stopped early, so results are limited.
