NCT ID NCT03367208
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 31 times
Summary
This study looked at small molecules called metabolites in breast cancer tumors to find patterns that could help understand the disease better. Researchers analyzed 52 tumor samples and some blood samples from patients who had surgery. The goal was to identify possible biomarkers for diagnosis or treatment, not to test a new therapy.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to better understanding of breast cancer biology and new biomarkers for diagnosis or treatment targets.
What could go wrong
This is a small, retrospective study with only 52 samples, so findings may not apply to all patients or lead to practical tests.
