New hope for aggressive breast cancer: drug combo trial launches
NCT ID NCT06767527
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding the drug AK112 to standard chemotherapy (nab-paclitaxel) helps people with advanced triple-negative breast cancer live longer without their cancer growing. About 416 adults who have not had prior treatment for advanced disease will be randomly assigned to receive either AK112 or a placebo, both with chemotherapy. The goal is to see if the combination is safe and effective as a first-line treatment.
