Recruiting PHASE2 ER-positive, HER2-negative Breast Cancer

New treatment option for ER-positive, HER2-negative Breast Cancer

Official title Capecitabine in ER+/HER2-negative Breast Cancer

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07631052

What this study is testing

What is Capecitabine?

Capecitabine is an investigational medicine, given as an once-daily pill taken by mouth, being studied as a potential treatment for er-positive, her2-negative 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 Phase 2 study for patients with resected Stage I-III HR+/HER2-negative breast cancer with detected molecular residual disease (MRD+) following standard neo/adjuvant and locoregional therapy delivered with curative intent. In this study participants will be treated with capecitabine.
  • Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
  • Time commitment: about 12 months
