New drug cocktail targets hard-to-treat breast cancer
NCT ID NCT04759248
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This phase 2 trial is testing a combination of three drugs—atezolizumab, trastuzumab, and vinorelbine—in people with HER2-positive advanced or metastatic breast cancer that has already been treated with trastuzumab and other anti-HER2 therapies. The study focuses on patients whose tumors are estrogen receptor negative or have a non-luminal genetic profile, which may be more responsive to immunotherapy. The main goal is to see how many patients have their tumors shrink or disappear.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- atezolizumab, trastuzumab, and vinorelbine
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this combination could offer a new treatment option for people with HER2-positive advanced breast cancer that has not responded to standard therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small phase 2 trial with only 55 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The drugs can cause side effects like immune reactions, nerve damage, and low blood counts.
