Boulogne-Billancourt, IDEAges 35–65 - NCT07683754RecruitingPhase 3
T-DXd with hormone therapy for HER2-positive breast cancer
This trial tests a targeted drug combination for HER2-positive, hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer that has spread. It aims to shrink tumors and control the disease for as long as possible, with a planned switch to maintenance therapy after initial response.
Columbia, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06586957RecruitingPhase 1
Study of NKT3964 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests an experimental drug called NKT3964 for people with certain advanced cancers that have stopped responding to standard treatments. It aims to see if the drug can shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Little Rock, ArkansasAges 19 years+ - NCT07843212Recruiting
Nerve block for breast cancer surgery
This study tests a nerve block (called SPSIP) given during breast cancer surgery to see if it reduces inflammation and affects a protein called TLR4, which may help with pain and recovery. If you're having breast cancer surgery, this might help you heal better with less discomfort.
Çorum, ÇorumAges 18–85 - NCT04305834RecruitingPhase 2
Abemaciclib plus hormone pills for metastatic breast cancer in older adults
This Phase 2 study tests whether abemaciclib combined with standard hormone (endocrine) therapy can better control metastatic breast cancer in people age 70 and older. It may help if your cancer has already grown despite prior hormone therapy and/or other cancer medicines.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 70 years+ - NCT07391774RecruitingPhase 3
Hormone therapy with or without chemo for early breast cancer
This trial tests whether skipping chemotherapy and using only hormone therapy with a drug called ribociclib works as well as chemotherapy followed by hormone therapy with ribociclib for certain early breast cancers that have a low risk of coming back.
Jonesboro, ArkansasAges 18 years+ - NCT07125950RecruitingPhase 2
SHR2554 plus hormone therapy for advanced breast cancer
This trial tests a new drug (SHR2554) combined with standard hormone therapy for people with advanced or metastatic breast cancer. The goal is to see if the combination helps control the cancer better.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18 years+ - NCT01185132RecruitingPhase 3
IMRT versus partial-breast radiation after lumpectomy
This study compares two different ways of giving radiation to the breast after lumpectomy for early-stage breast cancer. It may help determine which approach controls the cancer well while reducing radiation to surrounding healthy tissue.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 40 years+ - NCT04025164Recruiting
Shorter vs standard breast radiation after lumpectomy
This study compares a shorter course of radiation to a standard longer course after breast-conserving surgery (lumpectomy). It’s meant to see which schedule works just as well while focusing on safety and cancer control.
Guiyang, GuizhouAges 18–70 - NCT04349527Recruiting
Comparing breast-conserving surgeries and how you feel after
This trial compares two breast-conserving surgery techniques to see how they affect cosmetic results (how the breast looks), quality of life, and patient satisfaction. It may help guide the best surgical approach for people eligible for breast conservation.
BudapestAges 18–65 - NCT04345081Recruiting
Compare two breast surgery skin-sparing methods and recovery
This trial compares two types of mastectomy (with skin and nipple options) and implant reconstruction to see which gives better cosmetic results, comfort, and satisfaction. You may help doctors learn which approach leads to a better quality of life after surgery.
BudapestAges 18–65 - NCT03591276RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Doxorubicin plus pembrolizumab for hormone-resistant breast cancer
This Phase 1b/2 trial tests a combination of pegylated liposomal doxorubicin and pembrolizumab for breast cancer that no longer responds to hormone treatment. It aims to see how well the combination works and how safely it can be given to patients with advanced disease.
JerusalemAges 18 years+ - NCT04646759RecruitingPhase 3
Fulvestrant or capecitabine plus pyrotinib for metastatic breast cancer
This Phase 3 trial tests adding pyrotinib to standard hormone-based treatments (fulvestrant or capecitabine) to slow or control metastatic breast cancer. It’s for tumors that are hormone-receptor positive and HER2 positive, where standard options have been used before.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT04665882Recruiting
Prediction tool for arm swelling after breast cancer surgery
This trial tests a prediction tool (a “nomogram”) to estimate who is at risk of developing breast cancer–related lymphedema, or long-term arm swelling, after surgery. If you fit the surgery and lymph node criteria, your information may help personalize follow-up and prevention.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–80 - NCT04669873Recruiting
Partial breast radiation vs whole breast radiation after lumpectomy
This trial studies whether treating only part of the breast with radiation works as well as treating the whole breast in people with early breast cancer after lumpectomy. It may help reduce radiation exposure to healthy tissue, while still controlling the cancer.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 50–90 - NCT04888975Recruiting
Device study for one-arm swelling after lymph surgery
This study tests a medical device (Dayspring Technology) to reduce swelling in the arm caused by breast cancer treatment and lymph surgery. You may be eligible if you have one-sided arm swelling after lymphatic surgery and meet safety checks for the device.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05032768Recruiting
Study links between skin bacteria and radiation skin reactions
This study looks at how changes in the skin’s normal bacteria (microbiome) relate to getting redness, irritation, or rash after breast radiation. It may help doctors predict who is more likely to have skin side effects after reconstruction and radiation.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - 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+ - NCT04261829Recruiting
Full method for breast reconstruction after mastectomy
This trial tests a “full breast reconstruction” approach for people who are planning or have had a breast removal (mastectomy). It may help improve how reconstruction is done and whether you can use the external expansion device as part of the process.
Maastricht, LimburgAges 18 years+ - 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
