New treatment option for Breast Cancer
Official title Adjuvant Abemaciclib for Locoregional Recurrence of HR-positive, HER2-negative Breast Cancer (JCOG2313, AURA)
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07190443
What this study is testing
What is Endocrine therapy + Abemaciclib?
Endocrine therapy + Abemaciclib 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
- The JCOG2313 trial is a multicenter, randomized, phase III study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of adjuvant abemaciclib in combination with endocrine therapy versus endocrine therapy alone in patients with hormone receptor (HR)-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer who have undergone curative treatment for their first locoregional recurrence (LRR). Although HR-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer generally has a favorable prognosis, LRR-such as ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence (IBTR), chest wall recurrence, or regional lymph node recurrence-remains a clinically significant event that increases the risk of distant metastasis.
