Recruiting studies
- NCT07188246RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation and immunotherapy before chemo for breast cancer
This trial tests a new approach for breast cancer that combines a short course of focused radiation (SBRT) with an injection of the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab directly into the tumor, followed by standard chemotherapy before surgery. The goal is to see if this combination helps shrink the tumor more effectively before surgery.
London, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07191717RecruitingPhase 2
Imlunestrant and abemaciclib for early ER+ breast cancer
This trial tests whether adding two targeted drugs, imlunestrant and abemaciclib, to your usual hormone therapy can lower the chance of your breast cancer coming back. It is for people with early-stage ER+ breast cancer who have no signs of cancer on scans but have tiny amounts of tumor DNA in their blood (called ctDNA).
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06225284RecruitingPhase 2
Chemotherapy with or without hormone drug for premenopausal TNBC
This trial tests whether adding a hormone-blocking drug (GnRH agonist) to standard chemotherapy before surgery helps premenopausal women with triple-negative breast cancer. It aims to improve treatment outcomes by targeting hormones that may fuel tumor growth.
TaipeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06916338Recruiting
PET imaging study using 18F-FAPI-04 for breast cancer
This study tests a new imaging agent (18F-FAPI-04) for PET scans to see if it can better detect breast cancer or its spread. It may help doctors find tumors more clearly.
Qingdao, ShandongAges 18–75 - NCT07179744Recruiting
Skipping radiation for low-risk node-positive breast cancer
This trial tests whether some women with low-risk breast cancer that has spread to a few lymph nodes can safely skip radiation therapy after surgery. It aims to reduce side effects while keeping the cancer from coming back.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT06207734RecruitingPhase 2
Stopping CDK4/6 inhibitors in advanced breast cancer
This trial looks at what happens when women with advanced hormone-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer stop taking a CDK4/6 inhibitor after at least a year of successful treatment. The goal is to see if it's safe to take a break from the CDK4/6 inhibitor while continuing hormone therapy alone.
BerlinAges 18 years+ - NCT07162675Recruiting
Step count and treatment response in breast cancer patients
This study looks at how your daily step count, measured by a smartwatch, relates to how well your breast cancer responds to treatment before surgery. It may help show if being more active during chemotherapy leads to better outcomes.
Ankara, YenimahalleAges 18 years+ - NCT05658172Recruiting
Less vs more frequent follow-up after early breast cancer
This trial compares standard follow-up visits versus more intensive follow-up for people with early breast cancer after their main treatment. The goal is to see whether closer monitoring finds problems earlier or improves outcomes.
UlmAges 18–75 - NCT07159451RecruitingPhase 2
Elacestrant for premenopausal women with early breast cancer
This trial tests a new hormone therapy pill, elacestrant, given alone or with another drug to suppress ovarian function before surgery. It's for premenopausal women with early-stage, hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer to see if it can shrink the tumor.
VillejuifAges 18 years+ - NCT07146295Recruiting
ICG dye to find sentinel nodes in breast cancer surgery
This trial tests using a green dye called ICG (indocyanine green) during breast cancer surgery to find the first lymph nodes (sentinel nodes) that cancer may have spread to. It aims to help doctors locate these nodes more accurately, and is for people with early-stage breast cancer that has not yet spread to the lymph nodes.
AlkmaarAges 18 years+ - NCT07152782RecruitingPhase 2
T-DXd with or without neratinib for HER2+ breast cancer brain metastases
This trial tests whether adding neratinib to T-DXd (trastuzumab deruxtecan) works better than T-DXd alone for women with HER2-positive breast cancer that has spread to the brain. It is for those who have not had these specific drugs before.
ShanghaiAges 18–70 - NCT07154563Recruiting
Quick test for breast cancer spread to lymph nodes using a new probe
This trial uses a special probe that lights up cancer cells to quickly check if breast cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes. It may help doctors decide how much surgery is needed.
Kunming, YunnanAges 18–75 - NCT07135960Recruiting
Breast motion study after surgery and radiation
This study uses a 3D scanner to measure how your breast moves after surgery and possibly radiation. The results may help doctors improve treatment planning for future patients.
PortsmouthAges 18 years+ - NCT07140172Recruiting
Radiation or surgery for node-positive breast cancer
This trial compares two treatments for people with breast cancer that has spread to the lymph nodes: radiation therapy to the armpit or surgery to remove the lymph nodes. The goal is to see which approach works best after a tailored surgery to remove the most suspicious lymph nodes.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07122713Recruiting
Radiation therapy for inoperable breast cancer
This trial tests whether definitive radiation therapy can effectively treat breast cancer that cannot be surgically removed. It may be an option for people whose cancer is inoperable or who choose not to have surgery.
Stony Brook, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07116642Recruiting
Scar placement after breast-conserving surgery for breast cancer
This study compares how different scar placements after breast-conserving surgery affect your recovery and quality of life. By joining, you help doctors learn which scar location leads to the best outcomes for patients like you.
Leeds, West YorkshireAges 18 years+ - NCT07117864Recruiting
T-DXd with brain radiation for HER2+ breast cancer
This trial tests a new combination of a targeted drug (T-DXd) with brain radiation for women with breast cancer that has spread to the brain and is HER2-positive or HER2-low. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and works better than radiation alone.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06902051Recruiting
Side-lying position for left breast cancer radiation
This trial tests whether lying on your right side during radiation therapy for left breast cancer can reduce side effects. It is for women who have had surgery for newly diagnosed left breast cancer and need radiation.
Guangzhou, Guangdong ProvinseAges 18–70 - NCT07106632RecruitingPhase 3
Genomic test to guide chemotherapy in young women with breast cancer
This trial uses a genomic test called Prosigna to help decide whether young women with hormone-sensitive breast cancer need chemotherapy after surgery. It aims to avoid unnecessary chemotherapy in those who can safely skip it.
BrusselsAges 35–45 - NCT07111728Recruiting
Checking tumor margins during breast cancer surgery
This study tests a new imaging tool that helps surgeons see if any cancer cells are left behind during a lumpectomy. It may reduce the need for a second surgery.
Pavia, LombardyAges 18–85 - NCT07102381RecruitingPhase 2
Zanidatamab plus chemo before surgery for HER2+ breast cancer
This trial tests a new drug called zanidatamab combined with chemotherapy to shrink HER2-positive breast cancer before surgery. It may help improve treatment outcomes for people with stage 2 or 3 breast cancer that has not spread.
Long Beach, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07095023Recruiting
Oral chemo and targeted therapy before breast cancer surgery
This trial tests a combination of an oral chemotherapy pill (paclitaxel) with two targeted antibodies (pertuzumab and trastuzumab) given before surgery for HER2-positive breast cancer. The goal is to shrink the tumor and make surgery more effective.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07095114Recruiting
Disappearing markers for daily breast radiation
This study tests whether small disappearing ink marks can be used to guide daily radiation treatments for breast cancer. It may help make radiation more precise and comfortable.
Detroit, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT07087691Recruiting
Testing a device to mark breast cancer for surgery and monitoring
This trial tests a device called OneMark that helps doctors find and track breast cancer during surgery and follow-up. It may help make sure the cancer is removed completely.
