WI223281 Trial Summary

This trial will help researchers learn if pre-operative treatment of DCIS of the breast with palbociclib is effective. There will be two groups of twelve patients each, with one group receiving the treatment and the other group not receiving the treatment.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with a type of breast condition called DCIS, who are fit enough for surgery and have not used certain hormone therapies or other investigational drugs recently. People with invasive cancer in their biopsy (except microinvasion) or serious health issues that could affect study participation cannot join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the drug Palbociclib on patients before they undergo breast surgery. There are two groups: one receiving the drug (Group A) and another not treated but providing samples for research (Group B). Each group will have 12 participants.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Palbociclib can cause side effects like low white blood cell counts which may increase infection risk, fatigue, nausea, sore mouth, hair thinning, diarrhea and blood clots. Not everyone experiences these side effects.
