Recruiting studies
- NCT06328465Recruiting
MRI for early detection of breast cancer spread
This trial is testing a new way to use MRI scans to find breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body early. It is for people who have had aggressive breast cancer (HER2 positive or triple negative) and finished treatment with surgery, but still have a higher risk of the cancer coming back.
MilanAges 18–75 - NCT06348134RecruitingPhase 2
Anti-HER2 Therapy Before and After Surgery for HER2-Positive Breast Cancer
This trial tests a targeted therapy (anti-HER2) given before and after surgery for Nigerian women with HER2-positive breast cancer. It aims to see if this treatment helps shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
Ikeja, LagosAges 18 years+ - NCT06362616Recruiting
Pre-surgery partial breast radiation for recurrent breast cancer
This trial tests a shorter course of radiation to just part of the breast before surgery for women who have had breast cancer return in the same breast. It's for those who have already had radiation to that breast and have a specific type of cancer (ER+, HER2-).
AmsterdamAges 51 years+ - NCT06375798Recruiting
Breast conservation with radiation during surgery for early breast cancer
This trial is for women aged 55 or older with very early-stage breast cancer (stage 0 or 1) who want to save their breast. It tests giving a single dose of radiation during the lumpectomy instead of weeks of daily radiation afterward.
Shijiazhuang, HebeiAges 55 years+ - NCT06389006RecruitingPhase 2
Combination therapy before surgery for HER2-low, hormone-positive breast cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (disitamab vedotin and toripalimab) followed by chemotherapy before surgery for people with a specific type of breast cancer that is hormone receptor-positive and HER2-low. The goal is to see if this treatment can shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
Shanghai, Fudan University Shanghai Cancer CenterAges 18 years+ - NCT06401005RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation, chemo, and immunotherapy before surgery for triple-negative breast cancer
This trial tests a combination of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), chemotherapy, and an immunotherapy drug called AK104 given before surgery to treat triple-negative breast cancer. It aims to see if this approach can shrink tumors more effectively and help patients avoid a mastectomy.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06401304Recruiting
Value-based breast surgery outcomes study
This study looks at how well breast-conserving surgery (lumpectomy) works for women with breast cancer or other breast conditions. It will track how you feel, how you look, and your overall satisfaction to help improve future care.
SydneyAges 18 years+ - NCT06402435RecruitingPhase 2
Combination therapy before surgery for hormone positive breast cancer
This trial tests a new combination of treatments given before surgery for hormone receptor positive, HER2 negative breast cancer. It uses stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), chemotherapy, and an investigational drug called AK112 to shrink tumors and make surgery easier.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06404983Recruiting
Opioid-free anesthesia for breast cancer surgery
This study tests whether breast cancer surgery can be done safely without using opioid pain medicines during anesthesia. The goal is to see if avoiding opioids leads to fewer side effects and a smoother recovery.
Ioannina, EpirusAges 18–99 - NCT06411678RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Testing a new scan for breast cancer before treatment
This trial uses a special PET/CT scan to find breast cancer cells that have a certain marker (CD73). It may help doctors see the cancer more clearly before you start other treatments.
Dongcheng, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT06425874Recruiting
Study on how social factors affect well-being after breast surgery
This study looks at how things like income, education, and support systems affect the quality of life and emotional well-being of younger women (ages 18-50) after breast cancer surgery. The goal is to better understand and address these factors.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–50 - NCT06439693RecruitingPhase 2
Sequential therapy for newly diagnosed HER2+ breast cancer that has spread
This trial tests a sequence of targeted therapies for people newly diagnosed with HER2-positive breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. The goal is to find a treatment plan that can potentially cure the cancer.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06445738Recruiting
Can some women safely skip radiation after breast cancer surgery?
This trial is for women 50 and older with early-stage, hormone-positive or HER2-positive breast cancer. It tests whether it is safe to skip radiation therapy after a lumpectomy if an MRI before surgery shows the breast tissue looks a certain way.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 50 years+ - NCT06446882Recruiting
HER2DX test to guide treatment for early HER2+ breast cancer
This trial tests whether a new test (HER2DX) can help doctors choose the best treatment combination for HER2-positive breast cancer before surgery. It's for people whose cancer hasn't spread and who haven't started therapy yet.
GrazAges 18 years+ - NCT06450314RecruitingPhase 2
De-escalating treatment for advanced HER2-positive breast cancer
This trial tests whether it's safe to reduce or stop some cancer treatments for people whose advanced HER2-positive breast cancer has been well-controlled for at least 2 years and has no detectable cancer cells in blood tests.
RennesAges 18 years+ - NCT06452706RecruitingPhase 2
Study of TQB2102 for HER2-negative breast cancer that has spread
This study tests a new drug, TQB2102, for people with HER2-negative breast cancer that has spread and no longer responds to standard treatments. The goal is to see if the drug can shrink tumors or slow the cancer.
Bozhou, AnhuiAges 18–75 - NCT06472583RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy and radiation before breast cancer surgery
This trial tests giving immunotherapy combined with a precise, high-dose radiation boost before surgery for HER2-negative breast cancer. The goal is to see if this approach can improve outcomes, especially for cancers that are more advanced or have spread to a few other spots in the body.
GliwiceAges 18 years+ - NCT06476119Recruiting
Optimizing treatment for low stage triple-negative breast cancer with high immune cells
This trial tests whether people with early stage triple-negative breast cancer and a high level of immune cells in the tumor can safely skip chemotherapy after surgery. It aims to find a less intensive treatment option for those who may not need strong drugs.

Ribociclib plus hormone therapy for high-risk breast cancer
This trial tests adding ribociclib (a targeted pill) to standard hormone therapy for people with early but high-risk HR-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer, after surgery.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–80 - NCT06495736Recruiting

Kunming, YunnanAges Any age - NCT06498154RecruitingPhase 2
Skipping breast surgery for some patients after chemo
This trial tests whether women with certain aggressive breast cancers (HER2-positive without hormone receptors, or triple-negative) can safely skip breast surgery if chemotherapy makes their tumor completely disappear. The goal is to avoid surgery and its side effects when it may no longer be needed.
TianjinAges 18–70 - NCT06517212RecruitingPhase 2
Tirzepatide for weight loss in MRD-positive early breast cancer
This study tests whether the weight-loss drug tirzepatide (Mounjaro) can help prevent breast cancer from coming back in people who are overweight and have a sign of leftover cancer cells in their blood (called MRD-positive). You must have already finished at least one year of hormone therapy for early-stage breast cancer.
