ClinicalTrials ID:NCT06959537

This clinical trial is exploring a new combination of medications to find the best dose for treating metastatic triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). The study involves using low doses of cyclophosphamide with axatilimab and retifanlimab to see if this combination can effectively treat TNBC.

Patient Parameters

Program Overview

The purpose of this study is to determine the best dose of cyclophosphamide and axatilimab when used together with the standard dose of retifanlimab for patients with metastatic triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). Researchers aim to find out if this combination can help manage the disease more effectively.

Description

This study is focused on finding the optimal dose of a new combination of drugs for treating metastatic triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). The drugs involved are cyclophosphamide, axatilimab, and retifanlimab. The primary goal is to determine the best dose of cyclophosphamide and axatilimab that can be safely combined with retifanlimab. The study will also evaluate the safety and effectiveness of this combination in managing TNBC.
