About Triple Negative Breast Cancer
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) lacks estrogen receptors, progesterone receptors, and excess HER2 protein, limiting targeted treatment options. It accounts for about 10-15% of breast cancers and tends to be more aggressive. Active research focuses on immunotherapy and novel drug combinations.
Clinical trials are advancing new treatments for triple negative breast cancer. Currently, 24 studies are recruiting a combined 9,608 participants across the United States. Research is being conducted by 20 organizations including SWOG Cancer Research Network, Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC, Gilead Sciences and 17 others.
