This trial tests whether using less chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy before surgery works well for people with stage II or III triple-negative breast cancer. The goal is to reduce side effects while still being effective.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT06700369Recruiting
Lowering chemo with targeted therapy for HER2+ breast cancer
This study looks at whether using targeted therapy can reduce the amount of chemotherapy needed before surgery for HER2-positive breast cancer. It aims to find a safer, equally effective treatment plan.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT07528716RecruitingPhase 3
AI-guided treatment for HER2-positive breast cancer
This trial tests whether an artificial intelligence model can help doctors choose the best targeted therapy before surgery for HER2-positive breast cancer (a type of breast cancer with a protein called HER2). The goal is to improve how well the treatment works and reduce side effects.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT06230185Recruiting
Blood test to monitor treatment response in triple-negative breast cancer
This trial is testing whether a blood test can track how well chemotherapy is working in people with early-stage triple-negative breast cancer. You would provide blood samples before and during treatment, and the results may help your doctor understand your response better.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07474337Recruiting
Mindfulness breathing for breast cancer symptom control
This trial tests whether simple mindfulness breathing exercises can help manage symptoms in people who are starting chemotherapy for breast cancer. You will be asked to practice breathing exercises and report how you feel.
ElâzığAges 18 years+ - NCT07426822RecruitingPhase 2
Preventing Rash and Diarrhea with Capivasertib for Breast Cancer
This trial tests whether giving a combination of the drugs capivasertib and fulvestrant, along with medicines to prevent rash and diarrhea, can help treat hormone receptor-positive breast cancer that has a PIK3CA, AKT1, or PTEN change. It's for people whose cancer has spread or is locally advanced and can't be removed with surgery.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT07351487RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo plus immunotherapy and anti-angiogenic drug for TNBC before surgery
This trial tests whether adding sintilimab (an immunotherapy) and bevacizumab (a drug that blocks blood supply to tumors) to standard chemotherapy before surgery can improve outcomes for women with stage II or III triple-negative breast cancer. It may help your immune system fight the cancer more effectively.
HefeiAges 18–75 - NCT07335081RecruitingPhase 2
ctDNA in HER2-positive early breast cancer before surgery
This trial is testing whether monitoring ctDNA (genetic material from the tumor in your blood) can help guide treatment for HER2-positive breast cancer before surgery. It is for people with early-stage (Stage II or III) disease who have not yet started treatment.
ShanghaiAges 18–70 - NCT07311083Recruiting
Lifestyle program for triple-negative breast cancer patients
This study tests a lifestyle program (diet, exercise, and support) for women with triple-negative breast cancer who are getting chemotherapy plus immunotherapy before surgery. The goal is to see if healthy habits can help during treatment.
Essen, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18–75 - NCT06880029RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Timing of chemo and immunotherapy for breast cancer
This trial is testing whether the time of day you receive chemotherapy and pembrolizumab (immunotherapy) affects how well they work against triple-negative breast cancer. It's for people who will get these treatments before surgery.
Vila Nova de Gaia, RegiãoAges 18–75 - NCT07243002Recruiting
Patient outcomes with ribociclib or abemaciclib for early breast cancer
This study looks at how women and men with stage II or III HR+ HER2- breast cancer do when they start treatment with ribociclib or abemaciclib (combined with hormone therapy) after surgery. Researchers want to understand real-world experiences and results.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT04680442RecruitingPhase 2
Keeping HER2 therapy when your heart function is weaker
This trial studies whether it’s safe to continue HER2-targeted breast cancer treatment (like trastuzumab, pertuzumab, or T-DM1) even when heart function (left ventricle) is reduced. It may help people avoid stopping a helpful cancer medicine because of heart concerns.
Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do SulAges Any age - NCT05484973Recruiting
Portable scalp cooling to help prevent chemotherapy hair loss
This study tests whether a portable cooling cap system can reduce hair loss for women with breast cancer who are planning certain chemotherapy treatments. It may help you keep more of your hair while you receive chemotherapy.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 21 years+ - NCT07066189Recruiting
Diet and exercise during chemo for triple negative breast cancer
This study looks at whether a program of healthy eating and exercise, started during chemotherapy, can help shrink your tumor more effectively. You will be randomly assigned to either follow the diet and exercise plan or stick with your usual care.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT07049276Recruiting
Lymph node surgery for melanoma with immunotherapy
This trial tests if a specific type of lymph node surgery, combined with a short course of immunotherapy (medicines that help your immune system fight cancer), works better for melanoma that has spread to nearby lymph nodes. It's for people whose melanoma can be removed and who are healthy enough for treatment.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06952920RecruitingPhase 3
Acupuncture for nausea from chemo in breast cancer
This trial tests whether adding acupuncture to standard care can help manage nausea, vomiting, and other stomach symptoms caused by chemotherapy in people with early-stage breast cancer. It is for those about to start their first round of strong chemo.
Xining, QinghaiAges 18–75 - NCT06923527RecruitingPhase 2
Testing ctDNA to start elacestrant in early breast cancer
This trial tests whether the drug elacestrant can help prevent recurrence in people with a type of breast cancer (ER+/HER2-) who have finished hormone therapy and have signs of cancer DNA in their blood (ctDNA positive) but no visible spread on scans.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT06823440Recruiting
Preventing nerve damage from chemo with compressive therapy
This trial tests if wearing compressive therapy (like special sleeves or stockings) during weekly paclitaxel chemotherapy can prevent nerve damage (peripheral neuropathy) in breast cancer patients. It is for people who have not yet had nerve issues or diabetes.

Testing gene activity to guide breast cancer treatment
This study links breast tumor test results from MammaPrint and optional BluePrint (and full genetic data) with real-world clinical information to understand which new gene activity patterns matter. It may help future patients by improving how doctors use these tests to guide care.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06427226RecruitingPhase 2
Testing dapagliflozin to protect the heart during breast cancer chemo
This trial tests whether a daily pill called dapagliflozin can help protect the heart from damage caused by doxorubicin chemotherapy in people being treated for early-stage breast cancer. If you are starting doxorubicin and have a healthy heart, this might lower your risk of heart problems later.
