Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

Summary

This study tests whether giving immunotherapy every 6 weeks instead of every 3 weeks works as well for advanced triple-negative breast cancer. The goal is to keep the cancer under control while reducing side effects and improving quality of life. About 416 participants whose cancer is stable or improving after initial treatment will be randomly assigned to one of the two schedules.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
PD-1 inhibitor (immunotherapy drug)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that less frequent immunotherapy is just as effective, with fewer side effects and lower costs for patients with advanced triple-negative breast cancer.
What could go wrong
This is a Phase 2 trial, so results are preliminary. The extended schedule might be less effective or still cause significant side effects. It only applies to patients whose cancer is stable or improving after initial treatment.
