Sound waves aim to supercharge cancer drug
NCT ID NCT03237572
Summary
This small, early-stage study tested whether using focused ultrasound on a tumor could make an immunotherapy drug (pembrolizumab) work better for people with metastatic breast cancer. The study aimed to see if the order of treatment mattered—giving the drug before or after the ultrasound—and measured changes in immune cells inside the tumor. It was a pilot study with 13 participants and has been terminated.
