New hope for Hard-to-Treat breast cancer: phase 3 trial launches
NCT ID NCT07556848
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This phase 3 trial compares a new drug called 9MW2821 to standard chemotherapy in 356 people with advanced triple-negative breast cancer who have already received certain prior treatments. The main goal is to see if the new drug helps people live longer. Participants will receive either 9MW2821 or one of four standard chemo options.
