New hope for tough breast cancer: targeted drug HLX43 enters phase 2 trial
NCT ID NCT07459738
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This phase 2 trial tests a new drug called HLX43 in 60 people with a common type of advanced breast cancer (HR+ HER2-) that has worsened despite standard hormone therapy. The drug is an antibody-drug conjugate that targets PD-L1 to deliver chemotherapy directly to cancer cells. The goal is to see if it can shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.
