NCT ID NCT06764940

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

Summary

This phase 2 trial is testing whether the combination of utidelone and capecitabine can shrink brain tumors in people with HER2-negative breast cancer that has spread to the brain. About 120 participants will receive either utidelone alone or with capecitabine. The main goal is to see how many patients have their brain tumors shrink significantly.

What this could lead to
If successful, this combination could offer a new treatment option for breast cancer patients whose disease has spread to the brain, potentially shrinking tumors and extending life.
What could go wrong
This is a mid-stage trial with only 120 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The drugs can cause side effects like nerve damage, hand-foot syndrome, and fatigue.
