First seen Feb 04, 2026 · Last updated Apr 29, 2026 · Updated 14 times
Summary
This study tests whether adding the targeted drug ruxolitinib to standard chemotherapy can improve treatment for a rare, aggressive type of breast cancer called inflammatory breast cancer (IBC). The trial enrolled 23 people with triple-negative IBC. Researchers measured how well the drug combo reduced a key cancer signal (pSTAT3) after one week and how many patients had no cancer left at surgery. The goal is to find better ways to shrink these tumors before surgery.
