New drug cocktail aims to shrink Hard-to-Treat breast tumors
NCT ID NCT05227664
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding two experimental drugs (AK117 and AK112) to standard chemotherapy can shrink tumors in people with advanced triple-negative breast cancer that hasn't been treated yet. About 120 participants will receive the combination. The main goals are to see how many respond and what side effects occur.
