Patient Parameters

Program Overview

This study is exploring a new oral chemotherapy treatment called CMC for patients with early stage breast cancer. The trial is designed to see if this treatment can be safely and effectively used before surgery. Participants may also receive radiation therapy as part of their treatment plan. The study will monitor how well patients follow the treatment plan and check their health through regular lab tests.

Description

Participants in this study will receive a new oral chemotherapy treatment called CMC. If radiation therapy is needed, it can be started after the fourth cycle of CMC, with the remaining cycles paused during radiation. After completing radiation, participants can resume the CMC treatment. There is a required break of at least two weeks before and after radiation therapy. Alternatively, radiation can be given after all eight cycles of CMC are completed.

The study team will collect information on how well participants are following the treatment plan and will conduct regular lab tests to monitor their health. These tests will include checking electrolytes, liver function, and other important health markers.
