  • Final results from the INAVO120 trial, involving 325 breast cancer patients from 28 countries, were presented at the ASCO 2025 meeting in Chicago by a team based in London’s leading cancer research center.
  • The study tested a new three-drug combination against HR+, HER2-, PIK3CA-mutated breast cancer that had progressed during or soon after hormone therapy.
  • The triplet therapy of inavolisib, palbociclib, and fulvestrant improved median overall survival to 34 months versus 27 months for placebo and delayed chemotherapy by nearly two years.
  • Lead author Nick Turner reported a 33% reduction in death risk with manageable side effects, though grade 3/4 adverse events occurred in 90.7% of treated patients.
  • Experts called the findings a significant breakthrough that could become the new standard if licensed by UK regulators, offering longer survival and quality of life for affected patients.
