New drug combo tested for aggressive breast cancer

NCT ID NCT02158507

Summary

This small pilot study tested whether combining two drugs—veliparib and lapatinib—could help control metastatic triple negative breast cancer in patients who had already tried other treatments. The main goal was to check if the combination was safe and tolerable, while also looking for early signs that it might slow the cancer. Researchers also collected blood and tumor samples to understand how the drugs worked and who might benefit most.
