NCT ID NCT02738866
First seen Dec 16, 2025 · Last updated May 20, 2026 · Updated 25 times
Summary
This study looks at whether continuing the drug palbociclib but switching to a different hormone therapy (fulvestrant) can help people with a certain type of advanced breast cancer (HR-positive, HER2-negative) that has stopped responding to palbociclib and an aromatase inhibitor. About 60 participants will receive the new combination to see how long the cancer stays under control. The goal is to find a better treatment option after the first one stops working.
