Recruiting studies
- NCT06716073Recruiting
Endoscopic vs standard breast-conserving surgery after chemo
This study compares two types of breast-conserving surgery for women who have already had chemotherapy before their operation. It aims to see if using a tiny camera (endoscope) leads to equally good long-term results as standard breast-conserving surgery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06715826RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Imaging breast cancer with a targeted radioactive tracer
This study is testing a new imaging method that uses a radioactive tracer to find breast cancer cells. It may help doctors see the cancer more clearly.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT03740893RecruitingPhase 2
Test drug to block DNA damage in triple-negative breast cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies a treatment given around the time of breast surgery to help shrink or control residual (remaining) triple-negative breast cancer. It also checks biomarkers (lab signals) to understand who benefits, with some people receiving anti–PD-L1 immunotherapy and some not.
Bournemouth, DorsetAges 18 years+ - NCT06694519Recruiting
Radiofrequency and exercise for pelvic floor issues after breast cancer
This trial tests whether radiofrequency therapy combined with exercise can help with pelvic floor problems like pain, urgency, or incontinence that some women have after breast cancer treatment.
Elche, Spain / ValenciaAges 18 years+ - NCT06590727Recruiting
Emotional health in breast cancer patients
This study looks at how surgery or cancer treatments affect the emotional well-being of people with breast cancer. It aims to understand your feelings and mental health during treatment.
RomaAges 18 years+ - NCT06649331RecruitingPhase 2
Re-trying antibody-drug conjugates for advanced breast cancer
This study looks at whether giving a different antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) after a previous one can help people with advanced or metastatic breast cancer. It aims to find new options for patients who have already had ADC treatment.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06637306RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Testing dupilumab with chemo for advanced triple-negative breast cancer
This trial adds dupilumab (a targeted immune treatment) to standard chemotherapy before surgery for patients with advanced triple-negative breast cancer. The goal is to see if this combination helps shrink tumors more effectively.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06640881RecruitingPhase 2
Repeat breast-conserving surgery with partial reirradiation
This trial tests a new approach for women whose breast cancer has returned in the same breast after earlier surgery and radiation. Instead of removing the whole breast, doctors will remove only the tumor again and give a small, focused dose of radiation before surgery, aiming to preserve the breast.
AmsterdamAges 50 years+ - NCT06637150RecruitingPhase 3
Dalpiciclib with hormone therapy for early breast cancer
This trial tests whether adding the drug dalpiciclib to standard hormone therapy improves outcomes for people with a certain type of early breast cancer (hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative). It may help lower the risk of the cancer coming back.
ShanghaiAges 18–70 - NCT06635980RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation before or after breast cancer surgery
This trial compares two ways of giving radiation for breast cancer that has not spread: before or after surgery. It aims to see if giving radiation first might work as well or better.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06606730RecruitingPhase 3
Personalized pembrolizumab after strong chemo response for early triple-negative breast cancer
This trial is for people with early triple-negative breast cancer who had a strong response to chemotherapy combined with pembrolizumab before surgery. It aims to find the best way to continue using pembrolizumab after surgery to reduce the risk of cancer coming back.
BrusselsAges 18 years+ - NCT06608446Recruiting
Rehab from home after breast cancer surgery
This study tests a remote physical therapy program to help manage complications after breast cancer surgery. It may help you recover movement and reduce discomfort without needing to travel to a clinic.
Roma, RomaAges 18 years+ - NCT06616987RecruitingPhase 2
Preventing neutropenia from sacituzumab govitecan in TNBC
This trial tests whether a drug called sacituzumab govitecan can help prevent a low white blood cell count (neutropenia) in people with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer. It is for patients who have already received some chemotherapy but need a new treatment option.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT06569706Recruiting
Mastectomy with nipple preservation using endoscopy
This study tests a less invasive mastectomy for people with breast cancer. The surgery uses a small camera (endoscope) to remove breast tissue while keeping the nipple, and reconstruction is done at the same time.
MontpellierAges 20–75 - NCT06568705RecruitingPhase 2
Shorter adaptive radiation for early breast cancer
This trial tests a shorter, more targeted course of daily radiation for early-stage breast cancer. The radiation plan is adjusted each day to better fit your body, which may reduce side effects.
BeijingAges 35–70 - 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+ - NCT06545682RecruitingPhase 1
Study of alpelisib and pembrolizumab for advanced breast cancer or melanoma
This trial tests a combination of two drugs, alpelisib and pembrolizumab, for people with advanced triple-negative breast cancer or melanoma that has spread. The goal is to see if the combination can help shrink tumors, including those that have spread to the brain.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06534125Recruiting
Acupuncture to prevent joint pain from hormone therapy in Black women
This study tests whether acupuncture can prevent joint pain caused by a common hormone therapy pill (aromatase inhibitor) in Black women who have finished treatment for early-stage breast cancer.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - 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.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06518837RecruitingPhase 2
Tirzepatide for weight loss in early breast cancer
This study tests if tirzepatide (a weight loss drug) can help women and men with early-stage hormone receptor-positive breast cancer who are overweight or obese. The goal is to see if losing weight can improve outcomes after completing their initial breast cancer treatment.
Elizabeth, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06525766RecruitingPhase 2
Adaptive capecitabine therapy for metastatic ER+ HER2− breast cancer
This trial tests whether adjusting the dose of the oral chemotherapy capecitabine over time can control metastatic breast cancer that is estrogen-receptor positive (ER+) and HER2−. It is designed for patients who are starting capecitabine or have just started it, and the study will monitor blood changes and tumor response closely.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06524895Recruiting
Reiki for women having breast surgery

The Bronx, New YorkAges 18–99 - 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 - 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.
