First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 15, 2026 · Updated 28 times

Summary

This study looked at whether giving the drug palbociclib before surgery could cause changes in breast tissue in people with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), a very early form of breast cancer. It planned to enroll 24 participants, but was stopped early after only 17 joined. The main goal was to see if the approach was practical, not to prove it works as a treatment.
