Combining Eribulin and Tucidinostat for Advanced Breast Cancer After Previous Treatments

Phase I b/ II Clinical Study of Iribrine Mesylate Plus Tucidinostat in the Treatment of HR+/HER2- Locally Relapsed or Metastatic Breast Cancer After Previous CDK4/6 Inhibitor Failure

Phase1; Phase2 Interventional Henan Cancer Hospital · NCT05335473

This study is testing a new combination of two drugs, Eribulin and Tucidinostat, to see if it can help people with advanced breast cancer who haven't had success with other treatments.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial investigates the safety and effectiveness of a combination treatment using Eribulin and Tucidinostat in patients with HR+/HER2- advanced metastatic breast cancer who have previously failed treatment with CDK4/6 inhibitors. The study aims to determine the maximum tolerated dose and assess dose-limiting toxicities, as well as to evaluate the overall efficacy of this regimen. Participants will be closely monitored for their response to the treatment and any adverse effects experienced during the trial.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18 to 75 with HR+/HER2- advanced breast cancer who have previously received treatment with CDK4/6 inhibitors and have shown resistance to endocrine therapy.

Not a fit: Patients who are not HR+/HER2- or those who have not previously received CDK4/6 inhibitors may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with advanced breast cancer who have limited treatment alternatives.

How similar studies have performed: While there have been studies exploring combinations of chemotherapy and targeted therapies in breast cancer, this specific combination of Eribulin and Tucidinostat is novel and has not been extensively tested in prior studies.
