New combo therapy aims to boost breast cancer treatment before surgery
NCT ID NCT07506876
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding hormone therapy to standard chemotherapy and HER2-targeted therapy improves tumor response before surgery in people with HER2-positive breast cancer. About 30 adults with stage II to III disease will participate. The goal is to see if this combination leads to higher rates of complete tumor disappearance at the time of surgery.
