Test blood-based laser scan to guide first-line breast cancer treatment
This Phase 2 study uses a specialized laser test on a blood sample to predict how well palbociclib plus letrozole or anastrozole will work. It’s for certain postmenopausal women with HER2-negative, hormone-receptor positive, advanced (stage IIIb/IV) breast cancer.
BlidaAges 18 years+ - NCT06884852Recruiting
Preventing pain after mastectomy: nerve block vs. epidural
This study compares two methods to prevent long-term pain after breast cancer surgery: a nerve block using ultrasound guidance or an epidural. The goal is to see which helps women feel less pain months after their mastectomy.
CairoAges 18–65 - NCT04817540RecruitingPhase 2
Testing anti-HER2 treatment for HER2-enriched early breast cancer
This trial tests an anti-HER2 medicine in people whose breast cancer is classified as “HER2-enriched” using a special lab test (PAM50). It aims to see whether this treatment can help prevent or control cancer that cannot be fully removed by surgery.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT06636981RecruitingPhase 2
Combination therapy for advanced triple negative breast cancer
This trial tests a new combination of a vitamin A derivative (all-trans retinoic acid), an immunotherapy drug (toripalimab), and chemotherapy for people with advanced triple negative breast cancer that cannot be removed by surgery or has spread. The goal is to see if this combination helps shrink or control the cancer better than current treatments.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07372079RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy and chemotherapy before surgery for early triple-negative breast cancer
This trial tests a new immunotherapy combination with chemotherapy given before breast cancer surgery, to shrink the tumor and improve outcomes. It's for people with early-stage triple-negative breast cancer whose tumors are larger than 2 cm.
TianjinAges 18–75 - NCT04861077RecruitingEarly Phase 1
PET/MRI monitoring for PD-L1–positive triple-negative breast cancer
This early-phase study uses advanced PET/MRI scans to monitor how immunotherapy treatment works in people with triple-negative breast cancer that is PD-L1 positive. It may help doctors better track tumor changes in the body over time.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–75 - NCT07406789RecruitingPhase 2
Personalized diet study for women with advanced breast or gynecologic cancer
This study tests whether a personalized dietary plan can help manage side effects and improve well-being in women with advanced breast or gynecologic cancer who are receiving antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) therapy. ADCs are a type of targeted cancer treatment that delivers chemotherapy directly to cancer cells.
Madrid, MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT06977893RecruitingPhase 3
Chemo and immunotherapy for HR+ breast cancer before surgery
This trial tests whether adding the immunotherapy drug toripalimab to chemotherapy before surgery helps women with a certain type of breast cancer (HR+, HER2-). It aims to see if this combination works better than chemotherapy alone.
