The ARETHA study: A phase 2 randomized control trial of eribulin with evexomostat (SDX-7320) or placebo for patients with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and metabolic dysfunction

Treating advanced/metastatic TNBC continues to be difficult and novel therapeutic strategies are urgently needed. This study tested whether evexomostat prevents worsening of insulin resistance and augments tumor response in patients with metastatic TNBC and metabolic dysfunction in combination with eribulin chemotherapy, a standard of care treatment option after prior anthracycline and taxane exposure.
