New drug cocktail aims to shrink breast tumors before surgery

NCT ID NCT07383818

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This Phase 2 trial is testing whether combining trastuzumab rezetecan (a targeted drug) with toripalimab (an immunotherapy) before surgery can eliminate more tumor tissue in women with HR-positive, HER2-low breast cancer. About 111 participants will receive the drug combo for 24 weeks, then undergo surgery. The main goal is to see how many achieve a pathologic complete response (no cancer cells left in the breast).

What this could mean

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

Active substance

trastuzumab rezetecan and toripalimab

What this could lead to

If successful, this combination could become a new pre-surgery treatment option for HR+/HER2-low breast cancer, potentially improving tumor clearance and long-term outcomes.

What could go wrong

This is an early Phase 2 trial with only 111 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The combination may cause side effects, and it is not yet known if it improves survival.
