This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing This study
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Summary

Researchers are reviewing medical records to see how well pyrotinib works and how safe it is in people with HER2-positive advanced breast cancer whose disease worsened after treatment with trastuzumab and pertuzumab. The study includes about 200 patients in China who received pyrotinib after those two antibody drugs. The main goal is to measure how long patients live without their cancer getting worse, and researchers also track how many tumors shrink.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
pyrotinib, a daily pill that blocks HER2 signals in cancer cells
What this could lead to
If pyrotinib helps this group, it could offer a treatment option for HER2-positive advanced breast cancer that has grown after dual antibody therapy.
What could go wrong
This is a small retrospective review of past records, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may not apply to all patients, and pyrotinib can cause side effects such as diarrhea and skin reactions.
