New drug cocktail aims to tame aggressive breast cancer
NCT ID NCT03742102
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 05, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether combining the immunotherapy drug durvalumab with other cancer treatments (with or without chemotherapy) can help control metastatic triple negative breast cancer in people who have not had prior treatment for advanced disease. About 243 women with advanced or metastatic TNBC will receive different drug combinations to see how well they shrink tumors and what side effects occur. The goal is disease control, not a cure, as ongoing management is expected.
