Her department page lists the development of clinical trials in high-risk and hereditary early breast cancer as a research aim. She was chief investigator of PARTNER (Nature 2024), the Cambridge-sponsored phase 2/3 trial that added olaparib to platinum-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy in triple-negative and germline BRCA breast cancer; the University's news release reports 100 percent three-year survival in the 39 germline BRCA patients given chemotherapy followed by olaparib after a 48-hour gap, against 88 percent in the 45 control patients. She was also a co-author of the TNT trial and of the Neo-tAnGo and ARTemis neoadjuvant trials.","asOf":"2026-09-24","links":[{"label":"University of Cambridge Department of Oncology profile","url":"https://www.oncology.cam.ac.uk/directory/j-abraham"},{"label":"University of Cambridge news: PARTNER results","url":"https://www.cam.ac.uk/research/news/new-approach-to-treating-aggressive-breast-cancers-shows-significant-improvement-in-survival"}],"tags":["breast","trialist","uk"],"related":["andrew-tutt"],"cancers":["tnbc","tnbc-early"],"sections":[],"technologies":["parp-inhibitor","platinum"],"targets":["brca"],"drugs":["olaparib","carboplatin"],"companies":[],"institutions":["addenbrookes-cambridge","cruk-cambridge-centre"],"pathways":[],"terms":[],"trials":["partner","tnt"],"people":[],"bottlenecks":[],"keyPapers":[],"journals":[],"dependsOn":[],"notes":[],"role":"Professor of Precision Breast Cancer Medicine and Honorary Consultant in Medical Oncology, University of Cambridge; Director, Precision Breast Cancer Institute; Consultant, Addenbrooke's Hospital","institutionId":"addenbrookes-cambridge","specialisms":["Triple-negative breast cancer","Hereditary (BRCA) breast cancer","Neoadjuvant trials","Precision breast cancer medicine"],"profiles":[{"label":"University of Cambridge Department of Oncology profile","url":"https://www.oncology.cam.ac.uk/directory/j-abraham"},{"label":"University of Cambridge news: PARTNER results","url":"https://www.cam.ac.uk/research/news/new-approach-to-treating-aggressive-breast-cancers-shows-significant-improvement-in-survival"}],"papers":[{"title":"The PARTNER trial of neoadjuvant olaparib with chemotherapy in triple-negative breast cancer","journal":"Nature","year":2024,"doi":"10.1038/s41586-024-07384-2"},{"title":"Carboplatin in BRCA1/2-mutated and triple-negative breast cancer BRCAness subgroups: the TNT Trial","journal":"Nature Medicine","year":2018,"doi":"10.1038/s41591-018-0009-7"}]},"route":"/people/jean-abraham/","neighbours":{"person":[{"id":"andrew-tutt","kind":"person","name":"Andrew Tutt","route":"/people/andrew-tutt/"},{"id":"ellen-copson","kind":"person","name":"Ellen Copson","route":"/people/ellen-copson/"}],"cancer":[{"id":"tnbc-early","kind":"cancer","name":"Early triple-negative breast cancer","route":"/cancers/tnbc-early/"},{"id":"tnbc","kind":"cancer","name":"Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC)","route":"/cancers/tnbc/"}],"technology":[{"id":"parp-inhibitor","kind":"technology","name":"PARP inhibitors","route":"/technologies/parp-inhibitor/"},{"id":"platinum","kind":"technology","name":"Platinum agents","route":"/technologies/platinum/"}],"target":[{"id":"brca","kind":"target","name":"BRCA1 / BRCA2 (HRD)","route":"/targets/brca/"}],"drug":[{"id":"carboplatin","kind":"drug","name":"Carboplatin","route":"/drugs/carboplatin/"},{"id":"olaparib","kind":"drug","name":"Olaparib","route":"/drugs/olaparib/"}],"institution":[{"id":"addenbrookes-cambridge","kind":"institution","name":"Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge University Hospitals","route":"/institutions/addenbrookes-cambridge/"},{"id":"cruk-cambridge-centre","kind":"institution","name":"Cancer Research UK Cambridge Centre / CRUK Cambridge Institute","route":"/institutions/cruk-cambridge-centre/"}],"trial":[{"id":"partner","kind":"trial","name":"PARTNER","route":"/trials/partner/"},{"id":"tnt","kind":"trial","name":"TNT (Triple Negative Trial)","route":"/trials/tnt/"}]}}
