There are data suggesting that activity may be greater with combination strategies.Objective
To compare the efficacy of eribulin plus pembrolizumab vs eribulin alone in patients with HR-positive, ERBB2 (formerly HER2)-negative MBC.Design, setting, and participants
Multicenter phase 2 randomized clinical trial of patients with HR-positive, ERBB2-negative MBC who had received 2 or more lines of hormonal therapy and 0 to 2 lines of chemotherapy.Interventions
Patients were randomized 1:1 to eribu
