Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06533384RecruitingPhase 3
PARP inhibitor or chemo plus immunotherapy after surgery for high-risk TNBC

Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT07659990Recruiting
Comparing two nerve blocks for mastectomy pain relief
This study compares two types of nerve blocks given before a mastectomy (breast removal surgery) to see which one provides better pain relief. If you are having a mastectomy on one side with lymph node removal, you may be able to join.
Bursa, NilüferAges 18–75 - NCT07638852RecruitingPhase 2
Combining radiation and targeted drugs for triple-negative breast cancer brain tumors
This trial is testing whether giving radiation therapy along with a combination of chemotherapy (cisplatin or carboplatin), an immunotherapy drug called adebrelimab, and a drug called bevacizumab can better treat triple-negative breast cancer that has spread to the brain. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink or control the brain tumors and improve outcomes.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT07622836Recruiting
Chemotherapy plus QL1706 for high-risk triple-negative breast cancer
This study tests whether adding a new immunotherapy drug called QL1706 to standard chemotherapy after surgery can help patients with aggressive triple-negative breast cancer that has spread to lymph nodes. The goal is to see if this combination prevents cancer from coming back.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT06700382Recruiting
Capecitabine for TNBC after incomplete response
This trial looks at different ways to use the chemotherapy drug capecitabine for people with triple-negative breast cancer who still have cancer cells after initial treatment and surgery. It aims to find the best approach to improve outcomes.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT07605728RecruitingPhase 2
Probiotics to ease stomach problems from breast cancer treatment
This trial tests whether a special probiotic supplement (good bacteria) can reduce belly discomfort caused by abemaciclib, a hormone therapy drug for early breast cancer. You would take the supplement alongside your cancer treatment to see if it helps with stomach side effects.
