Study Summary

This trial is designed to study the safety of a new cancer drug and to see if it works. The drug will be given to patients 5 days a week, with 2 days off, and the dose will be increased gradually to ensure safety. The study will enroll patients in groups of 3, and will observe them for 28 days to see if there are any side effects. If the drug is found to be safe and effective, patients will be able to continue treatment.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with advanced breast cancer that's ER/PR positive and HER2 negative, who've had no more than three chemo treatments and are resistant to certain inhibitors. Participants must not be pregnant, should agree to contraception if of childbearing potential, have good organ function, and an ECOG status of 0-1 (fully active or restricted in physically strenuous activity but ambulatory).Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests a combination of Bosutinib, Palbociclib, and Fulvestrant on patients with hormone receptor-positive (HR+), HER2-negative advanced breast cancer refractory to CDK4/6 inhibitors. It follows a '3+3' dose escalation design where doses increase until the maximum tolerated dose is found.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include blood disorders like low neutrophil or platelet counts; liver issues reflected in elevated enzymes; digestive problems affecting absorption; hormonal changes due to fulvestrant injections; fatigue from bosutinib's intensive schedule; plus general risks associated with oral medications.
