- Male/female participants who are at least 18 years of age will be enrolled in this study.
- A male participant must agree to use a contraception during the treatment period and for at least [120 days, corresponding to time needed to eliminate any study treatments) plus an additional 120 days (a spermatogenesis cycle) for study treatments with evidence of genotoxicity at any dose] after the last dose of study treatment and refrain from donating sperm during this period.

Not a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP) or b.) A WOCBP who agrees to follow the contraceptive during the treatment period and for at least [120 days (corresponding to time needed to eliminate any study treatments) plus 30 days (a menstruation cycle) for study treatments with risk of genotoxicity] after the last dose of study treatment.

Examples of live vaccines include, but are not limited to, the following: measles, mumps, rubella, varicella/zoster (chicken pox), yellow fever, rabies, Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG), and typhoid vaccine. Seasonal influenza vaccines for injection are generally killed virus vaccines and are allowed; however, intranasal influenza vaccines (eg, FluMist®) are live attenuated vaccines and are not allowed.

The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Feb 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Italy. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Pathologic complete response (pCR) (time frame: 12 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03832673, which also lists 16 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Feb 2021.
