New drug cuts chemotherapy side effect by over 60% in breast cancer patients
NCT ID NCT07671547
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tested whether Naderin, an immune-boosting drug, could prevent low white blood cell counts in 79 women with breast cancer receiving first-line chemotherapy. Participants either received Naderin alongside chemotherapy or chemotherapy alone. The results showed that only 14% of those taking Naderin developed low white blood cell counts, compared to 39% in the control group, suggesting Naderin may help reduce this common side effect.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Naderin (sodium deoxyribonucleate)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could help breast cancer patients avoid low white blood cell counts during chemotherapy and complete their treatment with fewer interruptions.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed Phase 2/3 trial with only 79 participants. The results may not apply to all breast cancer patients or other chemotherapy regimens. Naderin is not widely available or approved for this use.
