JerusalemAges 18 years+ - NCT03787056Recruiting
Blood test marker study in many cancer types
This study measures a blood marker called progastrin (at diagnosis and during treatment) to see how well it predicts response or outcomes. It may help doctors choose or monitor treatment more precisely for several cancer types.
BronAges 18 years+ - NCT04136782RecruitingPhase 4
Tests two chemo drug combinations for triple-negative breast cancer
This Phase 4 trial compares two chemotherapy combinations to treat stage II–III triple-negative breast cancer. It looks for which regimen works better and is tolerated in people with measurable tumors and good overall health.
Harbin, HeilongjiangAges 18–70 - NCT04993014RecruitingPhase 2
De-escalating treatment after HER2-positive breast cancer responds
This study looks at whether some people with HER2-positive breast cancer can safely receive less (de-escalated) treatment after they finish chemotherapy plus HER2-targeted drugs before surgery. It specifically focuses on people whose cancer shows a complete response on the surgery pathology report.
São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT05059379RecruitingPhase 3
Different radiation fields after breast cancer surgery
This trial compares two ways of giving radiation to lymph node areas near the collarbone after surgery for invasive breast cancer. It aims to see which radiation approach works better and is safer for preventing cancer returning in these lymph nodes.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT02535221RecruitingPhase 3
Hormone treatment vs chemotherapy before breast surgery
This Phase 3 trial compares hormone-based treatment versus chemotherapy given before surgery in people who are premenopausal and have hormone-receptor positive, HER2-negative breast cancer. It looks to see which approach works better to control the cancer before the breast operation.
BeijingAges 35–55 - NCT05292742RecruitingPhase 2
Continue targeted breast cancer therapy or switch to a new combo
This Phase 2 study compares two treatment plans after breast surgery when cancer did not fully disappear before surgery. It tests whether adding trastuzumab, pyrotinib, and capecitabine works better than continuing the original targeted therapy.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–75 - NCT04836156RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Personalized pre-surgery treatment for HER2-negative early breast cancer
This study tests a treatment plan chosen using lab drug testing on a patient’s tumor (in a dish). It may help improve outcomes for people with early breast cancer that is HER2-negative by matching therapy to what the tumor seems sensitive to.
BeijingAges 18–75 - NCT05345860Recruiting
Using MRD results to guide extra treatment after breast surgery
This trial checks “MRD” (tiny leftover cancer signals after surgery) to help decide the best additional treatment for early-stage breast cancer. It may help tailor therapy so you get the most useful medicines while avoiding unnecessary treatment.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 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+ - NCT05420467RecruitingPhase 4
Trial of add-on breast cancer treatment after surgery
This Phase 4 study tests an additional (adjuvant) treatment for breast cancer after surgery and standard follow-up care. It may help lower the chance the cancer comes back, but you must match specific tumor and body-chemistry requirements to join.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT05305092Recruiting
Study of memory and thinking in early breast cancer
This study checks how breast cancer affects memory and thinking before other treatments start. It may help doctors better understand cognitive changes and who is most at risk.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges Any age - NCT04486495Recruiting
Minimally invasive lymph node treatment after chemo for node-positive breast cancer
This study looks at a less invasive way to check and treat lymph nodes in the armpit after you receive chemotherapy (and sometimes immunotherapy) before breast surgery. It may help people with cancer that has already spread to armpit lymph nodes by improving how staging and treatment are done.
's-HertogenboschAges 18 years+ - NCT05587777Recruiting
Tracking chronic conditions during standard breast cancer treatment
This study monitors health problems that can happen over time in people with breast cancer while they receive usual treatments like hormone therapy, chemotherapy, and/or radiation. It may help researchers understand which extra symptoms or complications show up and when, to improve care and follow-up.
StavangerAges 19–80 - NCT05603078Recruiting
Breast cancer surgery with a tumor-bed boost and standard radiation
This study looks at whether adding extra targeted radiation to the tumor area before breast-conserving surgery, then using modern breast surgery techniques and whole-breast radiation afterward, improves outcomes for early-stage breast cancer. You may be offered a treatment plan designed to better treat the area where the tumor was removed.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Up to 55 years - NCT03150576RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Before-surgery treatment for triple-negative or BRCA breast cancer
This trial tests an “at-the-source” medicine given before surgery to shrink triple-negative and/or BRCA-related breast cancer. It may help doctors see whether it improves tumor response and reduces cancer spread at surgery time.
Cambridge, CambridgeshireAges 16–70 - NCT05462457Recruiting
Tests adding a targeted approach for breast cancer with many involved nodes
This trial studies a treatment plan for early breast cancer that involves at least three suspicious lymph nodes on the ultrasound/imaging. It looks at whether a targeted technique—done before surgery with chemotherapy—can improve or guide care when surgery will remove the lymph nodes.
EssenAges 18 years+ - NCT04690439Recruiting
Light therapy to treat breast cancer–related arm swelling
This trial studies whether a noninvasive light-based treatment (photobiomodulation) can reduce breast cancer–related lymphedema, which is swelling in the arm or chest area due to lymph fluid buildup. If you qualify, you’ll be asked to follow a set treatment and follow-up schedule to see if symptoms improve safely.
Hasselt, LimburgAges 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+ - NCT05638594RecruitingPhase 2
Neoadjuvant drug study for hormone- and HER2-positive breast cancer
This trial compares two combination treatment plans given before breast surgery (neoadjuvant therapy) for ER-positive and HER2-positive stage II–III breast cancer. It aims to see which plan works better to shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18–75 - NCT05833659Recruiting
Comparing two breast reconstruction positions after mastectomy
This trial compares two surgical techniques for breast reconstruction: placing the implant under the chest muscle versus in front of it. It may help people understand which approach works better for comfort and healing after mastectomy.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT05834764RecruitingPhase 2
Pyrotinib for high-risk HER2-positive early breast cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests pyrotinib, a HER2-targeted cancer medicine, in people with high-risk, HER2-positive breast cancer after surgery. It aims to lower the chance the cancer comes back, especially when standard treatment did not fully clear the tumor.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT05058183Recruiting
Testing shorter chemotherapy for early HER2 or triple‑negative breast cancer
This study looks at whether some people with stage 1 HER2-positive or “triple-negative” breast cancer may safely need less (de-escalated) chemotherapy after surgery. The goal is to keep the cancer risk low while reducing treatment intensity, using special blood testing over time.
