Study Summary

This trial is testing the side effects and best dose of two drugs, cyclophosphamide and veliparib, when given together to treat patients with breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced or metastatic HER2/neu negative breast cancer who've had prior chemotherapy. They must have a certain level of blood cells, no severe liver/kidney issues, and be able to take oral meds. Pregnant women, those unable to use contraception, or patients with recent seizures or bowel obstructions can't join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the combination of Cyclophosphamide (a chemo drug) and Veliparib (which blocks enzymes helping tumor growth) in treating advanced breast cancer. It aims to find the safest doses and observe side effects when these drugs are given together.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include nausea, vomiting, hair loss from cyclophosphamide; fatigue, low blood cell counts affecting immunity may occur too. Veliparib might cause digestive issues and affect bone marrow function.
