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 trial tests a new combination of oral hormone therapy (an aromatase inhibitor) plus a CDK4/6 inhibitor (dalpiciclib) for women with early-stage but locally advanced (Stage II–III) hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer. The goal is to shrink the tumor before surgery, potentially improving outcomes.
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 a new drug combination (PCS6422 plus capecitabine) for people with advanced or metastatic breast cancer that has not responded to other treatments. The goal is to see if adding PCS6422 can make the chemotherapy work better.
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.
