NCT ID NCT05860465

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

Summary

This study tests a new oral drug called SPH4336 combined with hormone therapy (letrozole or fulvestrant) in people with a common type of advanced breast cancer (HR-positive, HER2-negative) that has worsened after prior treatment. About 254 participants will receive either the drug or a placebo alongside hormone therapy. The goal is to see if the combination can shrink tumors or delay cancer growth.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

SPH4336 tablets (a targeted cancer drug) combined with letrozole or fulvestrant (hormone therapies)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could offer a new treatment option for people with advanced breast cancer whose current therapy has stopped working.

What could go wrong

This is an early-to-mid-stage trial, so the drug may not prove effective or safe enough for approval. Side effects from the combination are possible.
