NCT ID NCT07416409
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at how well anti-HER2 drugs work in Egyptian women with HER2-positive breast cancer. Researchers followed 80 patients who received either one drug (trastuzumab) or a combination (trastuzumab plus pertuzumab or lapatinib) as part of their regular care. The goal was to see how these treatments affect survival and side effects in a real-world setting.
