New drug combo targets deadly breast cancer pathway

NCT ID NCT02876302

Summary

This study is testing whether adding the drug ruxolitinib to standard chemotherapy before surgery helps control triple-negative inflammatory breast cancer, a particularly aggressive form. Researchers are enrolling 23 adults with this specific cancer type to see if blocking a particular cancer growth pathway makes treatment more effective. The study measures whether tumors shrink completely before surgery and tracks how long patients remain cancer-free after treatment.
