Triple-negative breast cancer clinical trial

breast cancer cells

We are calling for volunteers for a clinical trial that aims to improve survival rates for patients with triple-negative breast cancer, a treatment-resistant form of cancer that can quickly adapt against chemotherapy.

Led by Associate Professor Christine Chaffer, the 4CAST clinical trial is testing a new combination therapy to target a ‘defence switch’ on cancer cells that alerts cancer to the threat of chemotherapy. The trial is being conducted at The Kinghorn Cancer Centre in Darlinghurst.
