Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT06007027Recruiting
Vaginal laser therapy for breast cancer survivors with menopause symptoms
This trial tests whether a vaginal laser treatment can help breast cancer survivors who have menopause-like symptoms such as vaginal dryness or pain during sex. It is designed for women currently on hormone-blocking therapy.
RandersAges 18–100 - NCT07096869RecruitingPhase 1
Breast cancer trial comparing two forms of paclitaxel
This study checks if a generic version of paclitaxel protein-bound particles works the same as the brand-name drug in people with breast cancer. It's for patients whose cancer has spread or returned, and who might benefit from this medicine alone.
Changchun, JilinAges 18–75 - NCT07426822RecruitingPhase 2
Preventing Rash and Diarrhea with Capivasertib for Breast Cancer
This trial tests whether giving a combination of the drugs capivasertib and fulvestrant, along with medicines to prevent rash and diarrhea, can help treat hormone receptor-positive breast cancer that has a PIK3CA, AKT1, or PTEN change. It's for people whose cancer has spread or is locally advanced and can't be removed with surgery.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT06458712RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new drug for advanced cancers with gene changes
This study tests a new oral drug, DSB2455, for people with advanced breast, prostate, ovarian, or pancreatic cancers that have certain gene changes. It aims to see if the drug is safe and whether it helps shrink or control the cancer.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT07579650Recruiting
Nerve Block for Pain Relief After Breast Surgery
This trial tests a special numbing technique (called a serratus posterior superior intercostal plane block) to help reduce pain after mastectomy surgery. The goal is to see if this nerve block reduces the need for pain medications after your procedure.
Diyarbakır, Outside of the USAges 18–65 - NCT02992574Recruiting
Radiation after mastectomy for certain node-negative breast cancers
This trial studies whether giving radiotherapy after a mastectomy helps prevent breast cancer coming back in women whose lymph nodes are not involved (or only very tiny spread). It may help reduce recurrence risk, especially for patients with higher-risk features despite node-negative early cancer.
Chandigarh, ChandigarhAges 18–80 - NCT03561740RecruitingPhase 3
Capecitabine plus usual treatment for high-risk HER2 breast cancer
This trial looks at whether adding a chemotherapy medicine called capecitabine (taken in smaller, regular doses) to the standard after-surgery (adjuvant) treatment can lower the chance of cancer coming back in people with early-stage, high-risk HER2-positive breast cancer. It targets patients who still had cancer left after earlier treatment or who had higher-risk tumor features.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT04049214Recruiting
Mindfulness program during breast cancer surgery
This trial tests whether a structured mindfulness program before and after breast cancer surgery can reduce stress and improve how patients feel and cope. You may be offered mindfulness materials to use around the time of your operation.
Newport Beach, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04072653Recruiting
Sentinel node biopsy versus watchful waiting after PET
This trial studies whether taking a sample from the sentinel lymph node (a first lymph node that can be involved) improves care compared with observation, after a breast cancer PET scan of the armpit area. It may help people with certain early breast cancers avoid unnecessary procedures if the lymph nodes look negative on scans.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT04170634Recruiting
CT scan study to assess bone strength in certain cancers
This study uses a CT scan to estimate how strong a cancer-affected bone area is, helping doctors evaluate fracture risk and bone management. It is aimed at adults with bone lesions from several common cancer types.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT04303325RecruitingPhase 4
Esketamine after breast surgery for depression and gut changes
This trial studies whether esketamine given around the time of breast cancer surgery can improve depression and change gut bacteria. It also monitors your sleep/deep anesthesia level (with a simple monitoring number).
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18–65 - NCT04501523RecruitingPhase 2
ctDNA-guided immunotherapy boost after chemotherapy for triple-negative breast cancer
This Phase 2 study checks whether a blood test that looks for cancer DNA (ctDNA) can help decide who should get an extra 12-month immunotherapy treatment after standard chemotherapy and surgery. It may help reduce the chance of the cancer coming back in people with triple-negative breast cancer.
Guandong, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT04614194RecruitingPhase 2
Blood and tumor markers to test response to abemaciclib
This trial studies how the immune system and other body signals in blood and tumor tissue relate to how well abemaciclib works before breast cancer surgery. The goal is to learn who benefits most from this medicine and why.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04803539RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
ctDNA-guided booster treatment after chemo for triple-negative breast cancer
This trial uses a blood test called ctDNA to see who is at higher risk after surgery and standard chemotherapy for triple-negative breast cancer. If your ctDNA test is positive, you may receive an extra “boost” treatment to help reduce the chance the cancer returns.
Guandong, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT04969835RecruitingPhase 1
Safety and early response study of AVA6000 for solid tumors
This Phase 1 study tests AVA6000 in people with certain solid tumor cancers, mainly to check safety and how the body processes the drug. It also looks for early signs of tumor response to see if it might help further in later studies.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04994067Recruiting
Registering radiation given during breast-conserving surgery
This study records details about radiation delivered while your surgery is happening for certain early breast cancers or pre-cancers. It may help doctors better understand who benefits most from this “intra-operative” radiation approach.
The Bronx, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05037825Recruiting
Study gut microbes with immune therapy in several solid cancers
This trial looks at how the gut microbiome (the bacteria in your digestive system) relates to outcomes when you take standard immune “checkpoint” cancer medicines. If you’re eligible, they’ll collect stool samples while you receive treatment for certain cancers.
Elizabethtown, KentuckyAges 18 years+ - NCT05146778Recruiting
Opioid-free anesthesia to reduce long-term post-mastectomy pain
