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.
Alexandria, Bab SharqiAges 18–65 - 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 - NCT06608043Recruiting
Reborn: a lifestyle program for breast cancer survivors
This trial tests a lifestyle adjustment program for women who have finished chemotherapy for early-stage breast cancer. It aims to help you make healthy changes and improve your well-being.
IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT06666439Recruiting
Tracking lobular breast cancer with a blood test
This study is testing a new blood test that looks for cancer DNA to track how lobular breast cancer responds to treatment. It is for people whose cancer has spread and who have not yet started treatment for the spread.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06692725Recruiting
Lighter chemo with immunotherapy for triple-negative breast cancer
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 - 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.
BrnoAges 18–70 - 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 - NCT07066189Recruiting
Lifestyle, Exercise, and Nutrition for Triple-Negative Breast Cancer
This study tests whether a healthy lifestyle program (diet and exercise) can help improve the results of breast cancer treatment before surgery. It's for women with triple-negative breast cancer who are getting chemotherapy and immunotherapy.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT07351487RecruitingPhase 2

This Phase 2 trial tests how well two study drugs (and a combination of them) work in people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. It’s mainly for patients whose cancer has come back or who couldn’t tolerate at least some standard treatments, and it aims to see if treatment can shrink tumors and be tolerable.
