AI reads biopsy slides to predict chemo success in breast cancer
NCT ID NCT07327970
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing a new AI tool called Ataraxis that analyzes images of breast cancer biopsy slides along with basic patient information to predict how well the cancer will respond to chemotherapy before surgery. The study will enroll 150 adults with early-stage breast cancer who are scheduled for chemotherapy. The goal is to see if the AI test can be easily used in routine care and whether it accurately predicts treatment outcomes.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Ataraxis multi-modal AI prognostic test
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this AI test could help doctors better predict which breast cancer patients will respond to chemotherapy, leading to more personalized treatment plans.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage observational study with only 150 participants. The AI test is not yet proven to improve patient outcomes, and results may not apply to all breast cancer types.
