This sounds promising .... This trial comes from a leukemia background and is now being tested on BC patients with HR+ Mets - hopefully even preventing cancer cells getting into bone marrow on patients who are currently NED (but may still have cancer cells circulating in the body.) Up to 30% of NED patients may go on to develop mets. It has worked in Mouse Studies.

Kelly Marcom, MD, professor of medicine, have just launched a proof-of-concept clinical trial of a new drug for hormone receptor positive breast cancer patients whose disease has spread to the bone.
