Breast cancer trial: Adding capecitabine to standard treatment
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests if adding a chemotherapy drug called capecitabine to the combination of dalpiciclib and hormone therapy works better than dalpiciclib and hormone therapy alone for advanced breast cancer that is hormone receptor-positive and HER2-negative. It is for people who have not had these treatments before.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman age 18 or older, either past menopause or willing to take a drug to suppress ovaries.
- Your breast cancer is hormone receptor-positive (HR+) and HER2-negative.
- Your cancer has spread to other parts of the body and cannot be cured with surgery or radiation.
- You are in generally good health (ECOG score 0-2) and have adequate blood cell counts.
- You have not previously taken a CDK4/6 inhibitor (like palbociclib) or capecitabine.
- You do not have active brain metastases or a history of heart problems in the last 6 months.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial looks at whether adding a chemotherapy medicine called capecitabine (taken in smaller, regular doses) to the standard after-surgery (adjuvant) treatment can lower the chance of cancer coming back in people with early-stage, high-risk HER2-positive breast cancer. It targets patients who still had cancer left after earlier treatment or who had higher-risk tumor features.
This trial studies whether a low-dose “metronomic” chemotherapy medicine (capecitabine) added to standard hormone therapy can reduce breast cancer coming back. It is for people with hormone-receptor–positive, HER2-negative breast cancer after surgery and chemo.
This Phase 3 study tests whether adding capecitabine (a chemotherapy pill) after breast cancer surgery can lower the chance the cancer comes back. It targets people with hormone-receptor–positive and HER2-negative breast cancer who are considered “high risk.”
This trial tests whether adding the drug dalpiciclib to standard hormone therapy improves outcomes for people with a certain type of early breast cancer (hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative). It may help lower the risk of the cancer coming back.
This trial tests if adding a new oral targeted therapy (elacestrant) to standard chemotherapy (capecitabine) works better than chemotherapy alone for people with a specific type of advanced breast cancer that is hormone-sensitive (ER-positive) and has stopped responding to hormone therapy.
This trial tests if adding a targeted drug (CDK4/6 inhibitor) to hormone therapy works better than hormone therapy alone for women with a certain type of breast cancer (HR+/HER2-). The study measures the activity of tumor cells (Ki-67) to help decide treatment.
