New treatment option for Breast Cancer
Official title BRE-08 Phase II Study of CMC Regimen for Early Stage Breast Cancer
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06085742
What this study is testing
What is Cyclophosphamide?
Cyclophosphamide is an investigational medicine, given as an once-daily pill taken by mouth, being studied as a potential treatment for breast cancer.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- This is a non-randomized, single arm phase 2 trial of oral CMC based on conversion of doses that would be delivered with conventional metronomic CMF chemotherapy.
- Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
- Which group you join is decided by chance.
A plain-language read of the study's public ClinicalTrials.gov listing. The study team confirms the details.
