Scientists hunt for clues to drug resistance in advanced breast cancer
NCT ID NCT04653740
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 18, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study follows 25 women with advanced breast cancer to understand why the drug palbociclib stops working over time. Researchers collect blood and tumor samples before and after the cancer progresses to look for genetic and chemical changes. The goal is not to treat the disease directly, but to gather knowledge that could improve future treatments.
