First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This pilot study tests a new way of giving several already-approved chemotherapy drugs in a specific order to treat hormone-positive metastatic breast cancer. The idea is to hit the cancer with a 'first strike' and then a 'second strike' to make treatment more effective. The study will enroll 15 women to see if this approach is practical and safe.

Active substance

Docetaxel, Cyclophosphamide, Trastuzumab deruxtecan, Sacituzumab govitecan, Capecitabine, Fulvestrant

What this could lead to

If successful, this approach could offer a more effective way to control metastatic breast cancer by using existing drugs in a strategic sequence.

What could go wrong

This is a very small pilot study with only 15 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The treatment involves multiple chemotherapy drugs with known side effects like fatigue, nausea, and infection risk.
