Moderate burden on patient

The trial has a moderate burden on patients. An example would be a trial testing an IV drug, with scans every 8 weeks which would be more frequent than standard of care.

Started >3 years ago

The trial was activated more than 3 years ago. This is not always bad but can indicate that the trial has less current treatments, or has had trouble getting enough patients to enroll due to other issues.

TrialFetch AI summary: This trial enrolls adults with hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative, locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer who are candidates for fulvestrant and a CDK4/6 inhibitor, and randomizes them to receive either standard therapy (CDK4/6 inhibitor plus fulvestrant) or the addition of capivasertib, an oral AKT inhibitor targeting the PI3K/AKT pathway. Prior use of AKT/PI3K/mTOR inhibitors or CDK4/6 inhibitors in the advanced/metastatic setting are excluded.

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT04862663

Phase II Trial of Palbociclib and Pembrolizumab in Central Nervous System Metastases

Moderate burden on patient

The trial has a moderate burden on patients. An example would be a trial testing an IV drug, with scans every 8 weeks which would be more frequent than standard of care.

Started >3 years ago

The trial was activated more than 3 years ago. This is not always bad but can indicate that the trial has less current treatments, or has had trouble getting enough patients to enroll due to other issues.

TrialFetch AI summary: Adults with progressive, measurable CNS metastases from solid tumors and CDK pathway alterations (Cohort 1) receive palbociclib, a selective CDK4/6 inhibitor, while patients with breast cancer brain metastases (Cohort 2) receive palbociclib plus pembrolizumab, an anti–PD-1 immunotherapy. Prior CNS-directed therapy is allowed; key exclusions include prior CDK4/6 inhibitor use, leptomeningeal disease (Cohort 1), and active autoimmune disease (Cohort 2).
