NCT ID NCT02810743
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This phase III trial tests whether personalized therapy can improve survival for people with high-risk BRCA1-like breast cancer. Participants receive either standard chemotherapy or a more intense regimen with stem cell rescue. The study aims to find a better way to treat this aggressive cancer type.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- ddAC-CP-Olaparib and ddAC-mini CTC chemotherapy with stem cell rescue
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer a more effective, personalized treatment for high-risk BRCA1-like breast cancer, potentially improving survival rates.
- What could go wrong
- This is a phase III trial but with only 174 participants, results may not apply to all patients. The intensified chemotherapy carries significant risks, including side effects from stem cell rescue.
