This study looks at ways to prevent arm swelling (lymphedema) related to breast cancer after surgery to remove lymph nodes. It may help people who are getting axillary lymph node dissection lower the chance of long-term swelling.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT04891068RecruitingPhase 2
Pre-surgery low-dose azacitidine for high-risk early breast cancer
This trial studies whether giving a low dose of azacitidine before surgery can shrink or control high-risk early breast cancer. It’s meant for adults whose cancer has not yet spread to distant organs.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05020860RecruitingPhase 2
Study how early breast cancer responds on imaging and under a microscope
This Phase 2 study looks at how well early breast cancer shrinks with treatment and how that matches with what doctors find after surgery under the microscope. The goal is to learn better ways to predict and assess treatment success.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05159193RecruitingPhase 3
Pre-surgery chemotherapy and antibodies for HER2 breast cancer
This phase 3 trial compares two pre-surgery treatment plans for people with HER2-positive invasive breast cancer that has spread to nearby lymph nodes. It aims to see which plan works better to shrink the tumor before surgery and improve outcomes.
Guandong, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT05184582Recruiting
Exercise program during chemotherapy for breast cancer
This trial studies whether a structured exercise program during pre-surgery chemotherapy can be safely done and may help people feel and function better during treatment. You may join if you have invasive breast cancer and can commit to the exercise plan while on chemotherapy.
MelbourneAges 18–100 - NCT05313191Recruiting
Proton therapy for tumors after prior radiation
This study looks at whether a type of proton beam treatment can be given safely and effectively to tumors that have already been treated with radiation before. It may help people whose tumors came back or persisted after earlier radiation, using a specific proton method called pencil beam scanning.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05378204Recruiting
Testing DNA repair marker for PARP inhibitor resistance
This study looks at specific DNA “damage repair” proteins as a marker to understand why some BRCA-mutated breast cancers may resist PARP inhibitor treatment. Your biopsy (or existing biopsy) helps researchers study whether these lab markers relate to how well PARP inhibitors work.
BordeauxAges 18 years+ - NCT05420454RecruitingPhase 4
Neoadjuvant treatment for breast cancer before surgery
This trial tests a treatment given before breast surgery to shrink breast cancer and improve outcomes based on your tumor type. Your eligibility depends on tumor size/stage, hormone and HER2 markers, and overall health checks.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT05465031RecruitingPhase 4
Testing heart-protection medicine during breast cancer treatment
This trial tests sacubitril/valsartan to help prevent heart weakness (cardiotoxicity) caused by breast cancer treatments like anthracyclines and/or anti-HER2 drugs. If you qualify, you may be offered this heart-protection medicine while your cancer is treated.
Opole, Opole VoivodeshipAges 18 years+ - NCT05601037Recruiting
Surgery to reduce lymphedema risk after breast lymph node removal
This trial looks at a preventive surgical technique done during breast lymph node removal to lower the chance of developing lymphedema (swelling from blocked fluid) after treatment. If you are at risk, it may help reduce long-term swelling and discomfort.
Ghent, Oost-VlaanderenAges 18–99 - NCT05608252RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Drug combination for advanced ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer
This Phase 1/2 study tests how well a new treatment combination (VS-6766, abemaciclib, and fulvestrant) works for metastatic or hard-to-remove breast cancer that is hormone-driven (ER/PR positive) and HER2 negative. It is mainly designed to find the safest dose and then see whether it can control the cancer after it has progressed on certain prior medicines.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05660083RecruitingPhase 2
Study of alpelisib plus iNOS inhibitor with nab-paclitaxel
This Phase 2 trial tests whether a combination of medicines can shrink and control HER2-negative metaplastic breast cancer that cannot be removed with surgery (locally advanced) or has spread (metastatic). It may help people whose cancer has specific lab/pathology features, and it also checks safety and how well the treatment works in the body.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05732051RecruitingPhase 2
Nicotinamide riboside to protect the heart during breast cancer chemo
This trial tests whether nicotinamide riboside can help prevent heart problems caused by a common breast-cancer chemotherapy (anthracyclines). If you’re eligible, you’ll be followed to see how your heart is doing during treatment.
Lørenskog, AkershusAges 18 years+ - NCT05837455RecruitingPhase 2
Biomarker-guided treatment for early breast cancer before surgery
This trial looks at whether using tumor test results (biomarkers) can help guide the best hormone treatment and chemotherapy before surgery. It focuses on people with stage II or III, ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer, with the goal of improving how well the tumor responds before it is removed.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT06085742RecruitingPhase 2
CMC chemotherapy for early stage breast cancer
This trial tests a chemotherapy combination (CMC) for people with early-stage, hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer who have a high risk of recurrence. It aims to understand if this oral regimen is effective and tolerable.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06127797Recruiting
MRI surveillance study for breast cancer survivors with dense breasts
This study is testing whether adding an MRI to your regular mammogram can help find any new breast cancers earlier. It is for women who have had breast cancer before and still have dense breast tissue, making mammograms harder to read.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06144164RecruitingPhase 3
Preventing Lymphedema After Breast Cancer Surgery
This trial tests a comprehensive prevention program to reduce lymphedema—a swelling in the arm—after breast cancer surgery that removes lymph nodes. If you qualify, you'll learn special exercises and care steps to lower your risk.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18–75 - NCT06265558Recruiting
Vacuum dressing to prevent wound problems after breast cancer surgery
