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

Summary

This early-phase trial tests a new drug called ZEN003694 combined with immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) and chemotherapy (nab-paclitaxel) in 57 people with advanced triple-negative breast cancer. The goal is to find a safe dose and see if the combo can shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth. It's a first step to see if this approach is worth studying further.

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

Active substance

ZEN003694 (a BET inhibitor) combined with pembrolizumab (immunotherapy) and nab-paclitaxel (chemotherapy)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could lead to a more effective treatment for advanced triple-negative breast cancer, potentially shrinking tumors or slowing their growth.

What could go wrong

This is an early phase 1 trial with only 57 people, so it's mainly checking safety and dosing. The combination may cause side effects or not work better than existing treatments.
