New treatment option for HER2-positive Early Breast Cancer
Official title Neoadjuvant Trastuzumab-rezetecan Plus Pertuzumab or Nab-Paclitaxel, Carboplatin, Trastuzumab, and Pyrotinib After Suboptimal Response to Neoadjuvant Dual HER2-Targeted Therapy Combined With Chemotherapy in HER2-Positive Early Breast Cancer
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07340398
What this study is testing
What is Nab paclitaxel?
Nab paclitaxel is an investigational medicine, being studied as a potential treatment for her2-positive early 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 prospective, response-guided phase II study investigates individualized neoadjuvant treatment strategies for patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive early breast cancer. After receiving neoadjuvant dual-HER2-targeted therapy with chemotherapy, patients are evaluated for their treatment response.
- Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
A plain-language read of the study's public ClinicalTrials.gov listing. The study team confirms the details.
