New hope for tough breast cancer: experimental drug BFv targets tumors after other treatments fail
NCT ID NCT06908928
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-phase trial is testing a new drug called bulumtatug furvedotin (BFv) in 52 people with triple-negative breast cancer that has come back or spread to other parts of the body. Participants must have already received certain types of chemotherapy and antibody-drug conjugates. The main goal is to see if BFv can shrink tumors, and researchers will also track how long any benefit lasts. This is not a cure, but aims to control the disease.
