ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is investigating a new treatment approach for patients with stage II and III hormone receptor-positive (HR+) and HER2-negative breast cancer. Specifically, it aims to see how well a combination of CDK4/6 inhibitors and endocrine therapy works before surgery (called neoadjuvant treatment). In simpler terms, the researchers want to find out if this combination can help shrink tumors effectively and safely.

To participate in the trial, patients need to be at least 18 years old and have been diagnosed with early invasive breast cancer that meets specific criteria, including certain hormone receptor levels. They should also be either premenopausal or postmenopausal and must not have had previous treatment with CDK inhibitors. If eligible, participants can expect to take oral medications as part of their treatment, and they will be closely monitored throughout the study. It’s important to note that this trial is not yet recruiting patients, so there will be a wait before enrollment begins.
