It’s for patients who fit specific tumor size and HER2 test results and who can safely take chemotherapy-like medicines and stay on contraception during treatment.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT05867251RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
AVZO-021 for advanced breast and ovarian cancers
This early-stage study tests AVZO-021, a new anti-cancer medicine, in people with advanced solid tumors like specific types of breast and ovarian (or related) cancers. It’s meant to find the safest dose and look for signs the medicine can shrink tumors, especially in cancers with certain gene changes.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT05868226RecruitingPhase 1
Early cancer drug study for adults with advanced tumors
This Phase 1 study tests early (first-in-program) cancer medicines in people whose cancer has not been adequately controlled. It helps researchers learn the safest dose and early signs of whether the treatment may work for different tumor types and treatments.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05896865Recruiting
Personalized breast cancer radiation based on tumor biology
This trial studies whether adjusting radiation dose using how the tumor behaves can improve outcomes for people with locally advanced breast cancer that has spread to certain nearby lymph nodes. It may help deliver the right radiation intensity while avoiding unnecessary exposure.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT05898789Recruiting
Virtual rehab program for cancer survivors
This trial tests a virtual (online) rehabilitation and exercise program for people after breast, colorectal, head and neck, or certain blood cancers. It may help improve recovery and daily functioning by supporting safe activity and targeted rehab after treatment.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05900206RecruitingPhase 2
Trastuzumab deruxtecan vs standard chemotherapy before breast surgery
This Phase 2 study compares trastuzumab deruxtecan to standard chemotherapy given before surgery for HER2-positive breast cancer. It aims to see which treatment works better to shrink the tumor and spread before the operation.
MalmöAges 18 years+ - NCT05902507Recruiting
MRI guidance during breast cancer radiation treatment
This trial studies using MRI images to help plan and guide radiation therapy after breast-conserving surgery. It may help doctors target the right area more accurately while keeping treatment standard and safe.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05919108RecruitingPhase 2
Neratinib before surgery for HER2-mutated invasive lobular breast cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests neratinib given before surgery to treat stage I–III invasive lobular breast cancer that has a specific HER2 mutation and is hormone-receptor positive. It may help shrink the tumor and improve control of cancer before and after surgery.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05933733Recruiting
Salvage treatment for breast cancer that returned locally
This trial looks at how well “salvage” treatments work for breast cancer that has come back only in the local area (like the chest wall or nearby lymph nodes), without spreading to distant organs. It also tracks side effects to better understand the risks and benefits for patients who need additional treatment.
SeoulAges 18–100 - NCT05935150Recruiting
Skipping lymph node surgery in early breast cancer
This trial studies whether you can safely avoid a lymph node biopsy in the armpit for early breast cancer when scans and exams look negative. It may reduce surgery-related side effects while still keeping cancer care on track.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–70 - NCT05949541RecruitingPhase 2
Everolimus with first-line hormone therapy for specific breast cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding everolimus to standard first-line hormone (endocrine) therapy can better control a certain type of advanced breast cancer. It is designed for people whose tumor matches a specific “SNF1 subtype.”
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05954442RecruitingPhase 3
Everolimus plus chemo for advanced triple-negative breast cancer
This Phase 3 study tests whether adding everolimus to chemotherapy (chosen by the treating team) can improve outcomes in advanced triple-negative breast cancer, specifically a subtype linked to PAM pathway changes. It may help patients who have not yet had treatment for advanced/metastatic disease.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT05957068Recruiting
Exercise program for breast cancer after surgery
This study tests an exercise intervention for people with early-to-mid stage breast cancer soon after curative breast surgery (and after chemo and/or radiation if you had it). It may help improve recovery, physical strength, and overall wellbeing by making exercise safer and more structured during this period.
SingaporeAges 21–99 - NCT05972343Recruiting
Cooling treatment to shrink breast tumors without surgery
This trial tests a cooling-based procedure (called cryoablation) to destroy a breast cancer tumor in people who cannot or do not want surgery. It may help shrink the visible tumor without needing an operating room.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT05976412Recruiting
Radiation to lymph nodes after surgery for higher-risk breast cancer
This trial looks at whether adding targeted radiation to lymph nodes after breast surgery can lower the chance of breast cancer coming back in people with higher-risk, node-negative disease. If you qualify, you may get a planned radiation approach designed for prevention, not treatment of spread.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05981001RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Experimental cell therapy for advanced HER2-negative breast cancer
This study tests a new treatment for advanced HER2-negative breast cancer. Doctors will take immune cells from lymph nodes near your tumor, grow them in a lab, and then give them back to you along with chemotherapy and immunotherapy. This approach aims to help your body fight the cancer more effectively.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT05982093RecruitingPhase 2
Elacestrant with or without triptorelin for premenopausal breast cancer
This trial tests a new hormone-blocking pill (elacestrant) with or without a shot that temporarily stops ovaries (triptorelin) for premenopausal women with early-stage, hormone-sensitive breast cancer. It aims to find a gentler treatment option before surgery.
Badalona, BarcelonaAges 35 years+ - NCT05982496RecruitingPhase 2
PET/MRI scan for certain breast cancer types
This trial is studying if a special PET/MRI scan using a tracer called 18F FES can help doctors decide the best treatment for people with Luminal A or hormone-receptor-positive lobular breast cancer. The scan looks at estrogen receptors to see if your cancer might respond to hormone therapy.
Milan, MIAges 18 years+ - NCT05983432RecruitingPhase 1
Study of BL-B01D1 for advanced lung and other solid tumors
This trial tests an experimental drug called BL-B01D1 for people with several types of advanced solid tumors, especially non-small cell lung cancer and breast cancer. It's designed for those whose cancer has continued to grow after standard treatments.
Beverly Hills, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06000917RecruitingPhase 2
Study of combination therapy before surgery for ER+/HER2+ breast cancer
This trial tests a combination of targeted therapies and chemotherapy given before surgery for women with a specific type of breast cancer that is both ER-positive and HER2-positive. The goal is to see if this treatment can shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT06001528Recruiting
Predicting lymph node spread in breast cancer
This study looks at whether substances called metabolites in your blood and breast tissue can help predict if breast cancer has spread to the first lymph node (sentinel node). If you are scheduled for breast cancer surgery and have not had prior treatment, the study team will use your blood and tissue samples to try to improve prediction.
Shantou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06006390RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CAR-T therapy for CEA-positive advanced solid tumors
