Recruiting studies
- NCT06414733RecruitingPhase 1

Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04893109RecruitingPhase 2
Study compares two HER2 breast cancer treatments after surgery
This Phase 2 study tests two different medicines given after breast surgery to reduce the risk of cancer coming back. It is only for people with early-stage HER2-positive breast cancer with limited or no lymph node spread.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06605521Recruiting
Study on removing lymph nodes above the collarbone for breast cancer
This trial tests if removing cancerous lymph nodes above the collarbone helps treat breast cancer that has spread there. It aims to see if this surgery, along with standard treatments, is safe and effective.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18–80 - NCT07354919RecruitingPhase 2
Testing axelopran for advanced cancer patients on opioids
This trial tests if axelopran can help people with advanced prostate, breast, pancreatic, or lung cancer who are taking opioid pain medicines. It aims to see if the drug is safe and helps with bowel function.
Saint Louis Park, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT05625659Recruiting
Breast cancer screening for dense breasts using new X-ray scans
This trial compares two imaging tests—CESM (a contrast-enhanced mammogram) and DBT (3D mammography)—to see which works best for women with dense breast tissue. It may help improve how early breast changes are found in dense breasts.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 45–74 - NCT07524114Recruiting
Blood test to find leftover cancer after treatment
This study uses a blood test to look for tiny bits of cancer DNA after you finish treatment. It may help doctors know if cancer is still there and guide next steps.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT04281641Recruiting
Testing marker-guided treatment before surgery for HER2-positive breast cancer
This trial studies how well a HER2-focused treatment plan works before surgery (“neoadjuvant” therapy) for operable HER2-positive breast cancer. It also uses tumor tissue tests to find markers that may predict who benefits most.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT05345860Recruiting
Using MRD results to guide extra treatment after breast surgery
This trial checks “MRD” (tiny leftover cancer signals after surgery) to help decide the best additional treatment for early-stage breast cancer. It may help tailor therapy so you get the most useful medicines while avoiding unnecessary treatment.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05834764RecruitingPhase 2
Pyrotinib for high-risk HER2-positive early breast cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests pyrotinib, a HER2-targeted cancer medicine, in people with high-risk, HER2-positive breast cancer after surgery. It aims to lower the chance the cancer comes back, especially when standard treatment did not fully clear the tumor.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT05883852RecruitingPhase 3
HER2-positive breast cancer trial for women with lymph node spread
This Phase 3 trial compares two post-surgery drug plans for HER2-positive early breast cancer that has spread to nearby lymph nodes. It may help reduce cancer recurrence by testing which regimen works better after surgery.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT04722692RecruitingPhase 3
Delayed sentinel lymph node biopsy for ductal cancer in situ
This trial tests whether doing a sentinel lymph node biopsy later (after breast surgery) is a safe, accurate way to check if cancer has spread. It uses a special tracking shot that helps find the lymph nodes.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06313086RecruitingPhase 3
New drug vs. T-DM1 for HER2-positive advanced breast cancer
This trial tests a new antibody-drug conjugate (DP303c) against an existing one, T-DM1, in people with HER2-positive advanced breast cancer who have already been treated with trastuzumab and a taxane. The goal is to see if the new drug works better or has fewer side effects.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07647263RecruitingPhase 2
New Drug Treatment Before Surgery for HER2-Positive Breast Cancer
This trial tests a new drug called trastuzumab rezetecan given before surgery for early-stage HER2-positive breast cancer. It's designed for patients whose cancer doesn't respond well to standard HER2-targeted treatments.
Suzhou, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT06693024Recruiting
Neratinib after standard therapy for HER2-positive early breast cancer
This trial is testing whether adding neratinib after standard treatment helps prevent HER2-positive early breast cancer from coming back. It is open only to patients treated at Peking University People's Hospital.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT07616427RecruitingPhase 2
New drug plus hormone therapy for HER2-positive breast cancer
This study tests a new drug called fovinaciclib combined with hormone therapy and HER2-targeting drugs for early-stage breast cancer that has specific markers (HR-positive and HER2-positive). The goal is to shrink tumors before surgery and improve outcomes.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT06711055Recruiting
Taxane plus targeted therapy for early HER2-positive breast cancer
This trial tests a taxane chemotherapy combined with a targeted therapy for women with early-stage, HER2-positive breast cancer that has not spread to lymph nodes. It aims to provide a tailored treatment based on tumor size and risk factors.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT06722612Recruiting
Chemo plus targeted therapy for high-risk HER2+ early breast cancer
This trial tests whether combining chemotherapy with targeted therapy works better for women with high-risk, HER2 positive early breast cancer that hasn't spread to lymph nodes. If you've had surgery and your tumor fits certain high-risk features, you may be eligible to join.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT06492005RecruitingPhase 2
Study of 9MW2821 for advanced triple-negative breast cancer
This trial tests a new drug, 9MW2821 (sometimes with a PD-1 inhibitor), for people with advanced triple-negative breast cancer. It may be an option if you've already tried standard treatments or haven't started any yet.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06793553RecruitingPhase 2
Induction chemo then immunotherapy for PD-L1 positive triple negative breast cancer
This trial tests a two-step approach: first a short course of chemotherapy (paclitaxel and bevacizumab), followed by a combination of immunotherapy (atezolizumab) and a different chemotherapy (nab-paclitaxel). It's for people with advanced triple-negative breast cancer that has spread or cannot be removed, and whose tumors have a specific marker called PD-L1. The goal is to see if this sequence works better than standard treatments.
Koto-ku, 3-8-31, TokyoAges 18 years+ - NCT03730922Recruiting
Delayed vs immediate breast reconstruction after mastectomy and radiation
This study compares two timing options for rebuilding the breast after mastectomy followed by radiation: a reconstruction done later (delayed) versus one done sooner (delayed-immediate). The goal is to see which approach works better and is safer for recovery after treatment.
AabenraaAges 18 years+ - NCT03449264Recruiting
Database study for people with certain new cancers
This study builds a clinical and biological database for people newly diagnosed with certain cancers. It may help doctors better understand cancer patterns and improve future care, and it involves agreeing to extra blood samples.
MontpellierAges 18 years+ - NCT07319195RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Study of a new drug injected into tumors for breast cancer
This trial tests a drug called mitazalimab injected directly into the tumor for patients with early-stage or recurrent breast cancer who are scheduled for surgery. The goal is to see if this approach can help the immune system fight the cancer before surgery.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05955170RecruitingPhase 2
Tucatinib plus oral chemo and trastuzumab for metastatic HER2+ breast cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies tucatinib combined with oral etoposide and trastuzumab in people with metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer, aiming to slow cancer growth.

- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,162 recruiting breast cancer surgery studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a breast cancer surgery trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a breast cancer surgery trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
