New combo therapy aims to wipe out breast cancer before surgery
NCT ID NCT05525767
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether adding bevacizumab to standard chemotherapy before surgery can improve outcomes for people with early or locally advanced HER2-negative breast cancer. About 75 participants will receive the drug combination, and researchers will measure how many achieve a complete response (no cancer left in the breast tissue). The trial is currently recruiting.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- bevacizumab (a drug that blocks blood vessel growth to tumors) combined with chemotherapy
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that adding bevacizumab to standard chemo before surgery improves the chance of eliminating all cancer cells in the breast at the time of surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a single-arm, phase 4 study with only 75 participants, so results may not apply broadly. Bevacizumab can cause side effects like high blood pressure, bleeding, or slow wound healing.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age ≥18 years old; 2. Signed the informed consent and volunteered to join the study with good compliance; 3, histopathologically confirmed HER2-negative invasive breast cancer (including triple-negative breast cancer; Or Luminal breast cancer, that is, ER/PR positive and HER2 negative) : * HER2 negative was defined as 0/1+ on standard IHC test; HER2/CEP17 ratio was less than 2.0 or HER2 gene copy number was less than 4. * ER positive and/or PR positive were defined as the proportion of positively stained tumor cells in all tumor cells ≥1%; 4\. According to the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) 8th edition TNM stage II-IIIC (T2-T4 plus any N, or any T plus N1-3, M0); 5\. The main organs function well and meet the following standards: A) Hemoglobin (HGB)≥90g/L; B) Neutrophil absolute value (NEUT)≥1.5×109/L; C) Platelet count (PLT)≥ 100×109/L; D) leukocyte ≥3.0×109/L; E) Total bilirubin \<1.5 ULN (upper limit of normal) F) Creatinine \< 1.5×ULN G) AST/ALT \< 1.5×ULN; 6\. Cardiac ultrasound: left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF≥55%); 7\. The investigators determined that the patients were suitable for treatment with bevacizumab. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Stage IV (metastatic) breast cancer; 2. Received treatment for the disease, including chemotherapy, endocrine therapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, etc.; 3. Patients who are participating in other intervention studies; 4. Women with confirmed pregnancy or lactation; 5. According to the judgment of the investigator, the subjects have concomitant diseases that seriously endanger the safety of the subjects or affect the completion of the study, or the subjects think that there are other reasons that are not suitable for inclusion.
