Mexico CityAges 18 years+ - NCT07189871RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Targeted radiation therapy for advanced solid tumors
This study tests a new radioactive treatment (177Lu-BetaBart) for people with certain advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard treatments. It aims to see if this targeted therapy can slow or stop tumor growth.
Dothan, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05433753Recruiting
Study for leftover cancer DNA in HER2-positive early breast cancer
This study looks for tiny traces of cancer after treatment by testing blood for “ctDNA,” which is leftover cancer DNA. It includes people with HER2-positive early breast cancer who are getting chemotherapy before surgery to see if this blood test can detect signs of remaining disease.
Chuo-ku, TokyoAges 20 years+ - NCT07781306Recruiting
Imaging study for liver metastasis surgery
This study looks at how well imaging predicts the outcome of surgery for liver metastases from colorectal or breast cancer. If you are having surgery to remove liver metastases, you may be able to participate.
Wilrijk, AntwerpAges 18 years+ - NCT07775053Enrolling by invitation
Pain relief study for breast cancer surgery
This study tests whether adding tramadol to a standard numbing medicine (ropivacaine) makes pain control better after breast cancer surgery. If you're having a mastectomy, this could help reduce pain and improve recovery.
Sargodha, Punjab ProvinceAges 20–70 - NCT06642142Recruiting
When numbness starts after a spine block for breast surgery
This study is testing how quickly numbness starts after a specific type of pain block (erector spinae plane block) given before breast surgery. It may help people who are having breast surgery and are healthy enough to receive this block.
Latina, ItalyAges 18 years+ - NCT07528638Recruiting
Nerve monitoring during breast cancer lymph node surgery
This study tests whether special nerve-monitoring equipment and a specific type of surgical tool can reduce nerve damage during lymph node removal surgery for breast cancer. Researchers want to see if these techniques help preserve arm and shoulder function after surgery.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18–70 - NCT06773143Recruiting
Esketamine for sleep quality during breast cancer chemo
This trial tests whether a low dose of esketamine can improve sleep quality in women with breast cancer who are receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy. If you have trouble sleeping during treatment, this study may find a new way to help.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–65 - NCT06082206Recruiting
Nerve blocks to prevent long-term pain after breast cancer surgery
This study compares two types of nerve blocks (pectoral nerve block vs. paravertebral block) to see which one better prevents long-term pain after breast cancer surgery.
AsyutAges 20–65 - NCT05782686Recruiting
Shaving wound skin regularly after breast-conserving surgery
This study looks at whether regularly removing (shaving) small amounts of skin during recovery can improve surgical healing and outcomes. It focuses on people having breast-conserving surgery for certain early breast cancers.
L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07532434Recruiting
Risk-Reducing Surgery for Hereditary Ovarian Cancer
This study follows women who carry gene mutations that increase ovarian cancer risk to understand how preventive surgery affects their health, quality of life, and peace of mind. Researchers will track your outcomes over 3 years to help inform future treatment decisions for others at similar risk.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07376174Recruiting
HER2-positive breast cancer and dual-target therapy study
This study looks at how well a combination of two targeted drugs (trastuzumab and pertuzumab) works for people with HER2-positive breast cancer that hasn't spread. It aims to understand how HER2 levels affect treatment outcomes after surgery.

Prescott, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT03829553RecruitingPhase 3
Radiation to breast lymph nodes versus standard breast cancer care
This Phase 3 trial tests whether a shorter, more focused radiation treatment to the regional lymph nodes works as well as the current standard approach for certain breast cancers. It may help patients by potentially improving treatment efficiency while keeping cancer control effective.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05212454RecruitingPhase 3
Capecitabine added after surgery for high-risk ER-positive breast cancer
This Phase 3 study tests whether adding capecitabine (a chemotherapy pill) after breast cancer surgery can lower the chance the cancer comes back. It targets people with hormone-receptor–positive and HER2-negative breast cancer who are considered “high risk.”
Hanzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–70 - NCT00437879Recruiting
Ultrasound and MRI scans to track breast cancer response early
This study uses ultrasound and/or MRI scans to see how breast cancer responds early while you start “neoadjuvant” treatment (chemotherapy, with or without radiation before surgery). It may help doctors spot response sooner and better understand which imaging changes match treatment benefit.
