Recruiting studies
- NCT05608252RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Drug combination for advanced ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer
This Phase 1/2 study tests how well a new treatment combination (VS-6766, abemaciclib, and fulvestrant) works for metastatic or hard-to-remove breast cancer that is hormone-driven (ER/PR positive) and HER2 negative. It is mainly designed to find the safest dose and then see whether it can control the cancer after it has progressed on certain prior medicines.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05658172Recruiting
Less vs more frequent follow-up after early breast cancer
This trial compares standard follow-up visits versus more intensive follow-up for people with early breast cancer after their main treatment. The goal is to see whether closer monitoring finds problems earlier or improves outcomes.
UlmAges 18–75 - NCT05660083RecruitingPhase 2
Study of alpelisib plus iNOS inhibitor with nab-paclitaxel
This Phase 2 trial tests whether a combination of medicines can shrink and control HER2-negative metaplastic breast cancer that cannot be removed with surgery (locally advanced) or has spread (metastatic). It may help people whose cancer has specific lab/pathology features, and it also checks safety and how well the treatment works in the body.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05667532Recruiting
Contrast mammogram screening for women with dense breasts
This study tests how well a special mammogram with contrast can help assess breast cancer risk in women with dense breast tissue. It may help improve screening planning, especially when standard mammograms are harder to read due to density.
Houston, TexasAges 30–75 - NCT05677022Recruiting
Posture and movement check during adapted exercise after breast cancer
This study looks at how a posture and movement assessment can help guide a tailored exercise program for people treated for non-metastatic breast cancer. It may help ensure the exercise is safer and more suited to your recovery needs.
MarseilleAges 18 years+ - NCT05720260RecruitingPhase 2
Test immunotherapy plus hormone therapy and an AKT blocker
This trial tests whether combining immunotherapy, hormone therapy, and an AKT-blocking drug can control ER-positive advanced breast cancer in women whose cancer is resistant to hormone treatment. It may help shrink tumors and slow disease by targeting several pathways at once.
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT05735080RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
INX-315 for advanced cancers with a specific gene change
This trial studies an experimental medicine (INX-315) given in an “open-label” way to people with advanced cancer that has not responded to prior treatment. It mainly looks at safety and side effects first, and also checks how well it works in cancers with a specific gene amplification.
Orlando, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05741164RecruitingPhase 2
Propranolol plus pembrolizumab for hard-to-treat breast cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies whether adding propranolol to pembrolizumab can “re-sensitize” tumors and slow cancer in triple-negative breast cancer that no longer responds to checkpoint immunotherapy. It may help some people whose cancer has grown despite prior pembrolizumab and chemotherapy.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05748834RecruitingPhase 2
Tucatinib plus Doxil for HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer
This Phase 2 study tests tucatinib (a HER2-targeted pill) plus Doxil (a chemotherapy medicine) to slow or shrink HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer that has been treated before. It may help by targeting HER2 cancer cells more effectively than past treatments alone.
Columbia, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05760612RecruitingPhase 3
After breast cancer surgery, test neratinib plus trastuzumab
This trial studies whether adding neratinib to standard trastuzumab treatment after neoadjuvant (before-surgery) therapy lowers the risk of breast cancer coming back. It is for people whose breast cancer is hormone-receptor positive and HER2 positive, with residual cancer found after neoadjuvant treatment.
GuangzhouAges 18–70 - NCT05766891RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Nurse-led hypnosis to reduce opioid pain meds for breast surgery
This trial tests whether nurse-delivered hypnosis during breast cancer surgery can help you need less opioid pain medicine after surgery. It may make recovery more comfortable while aiming to lower opioid use.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05772390RecruitingPhase 2
Second radiation for a small breast cancer return
This Phase 2 study tests whether giving targeted radiation again to the same breast can control a small, local breast cancer that came back after prior whole-breast radiation. It may help some patients avoid or delay further treatment for the breast while carefully checking safety.
Meldola, Forlì CesenaAges 18 years+ - NCT05774951RecruitingPhase 3
Camizestrant for hormone-positive, HER2-negative early breast cancer
This trial tests camizestrant, a medicine that blocks estrogen signaling, to help prevent hormone-positive, HER2-negative early breast cancer from coming back. You may be eligible if your cancer has higher- or intermediate-risk features and you already completed at least 2 years of hormone therapy.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–130 - NCT05780814Recruiting
Treating insomnia to improve weight loss after breast cancer
This study looks at whether improving insomnia (trouble falling asleep or staying asleep) can help survivors of breast cancer lose weight more successfully through a structured behavioral weight loss program. It may help if sleep problems are making it harder to change eating and activity habits.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05795101RecruitingPhase 2
TRUDI trial for inflammatory breast cancer with HER2/low markers
This Phase 2 trial tests two medicines—durvalumab and trastuzumab deruxtecan—to treat stage III inflammatory breast cancer. It may help by controlling cancer growth using treatments aimed at specific breast cancer markers (HER2 positive or “HER2-low”).
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05797454Recruiting
Two ways to mark hidden breast tumors before surgery
This trial compares two techniques for pinpointing non-touchable breast cancer during breast-conserving surgery. The study aims to see which method is more accurate and whether it leads to better surgical outcomes.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT05804916RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Tracking-guided radiation for left breast after surgery
This trial tests a radiation planning and monitoring approach that uses surface tracking and breathing control to deliver large-area radiation more accurately for left breast cancer. It may help improve how consistently treatment is delivered while accounting for chest movement.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT05833659Recruiting
Comparing two breast reconstruction positions after mastectomy
This trial compares two surgical techniques for breast reconstruction: placing the implant under the chest muscle versus in front of it. It may help people understand which approach works better for comfort and healing after mastectomy.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT05838001Recruiting
Testing two ways to locate non-tumor-feel breast cancer
This trial compares two techniques for finding breast tumors that cannot be felt by hand after initial (neoadjuvant) treatment. If successful, it may make breast-conserving surgery more accurate when the tumor has become “non-palpable.”
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT05846789RecruitingPhase 2
Chemotherapy with or without tocilizumab for breast cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding tocilizumab (a drug that targets inflammation signals) to standard chemotherapy helps people with triple-negative or ER-low metastatic or locally recurring breast cancer. It’s for adults who have had up to two prior treatments for metastatic disease and who can receive standard chemo.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05851014RecruitingPhase 3
GB491 plus letrozole for HR+ HER2- advanced breast cancer
This Phase 3 study tests whether GB491 used together with letrozole works better for hormone receptor–positive and HER2-negative advanced breast cancer. You may be eligible if you have not had certain prior cancer treatments and your health tests are within safe limits.
Bengbu, AnhuiAges 18–75 - NCT05861271RecruitingPhase 2
Adjuvant pyrotinib plus capecitabine for tiny HER2 breast cancer
This trial studies whether adding pyrotinib and capecitabine after surgery can lower the risk of cancer coming back in people with very small, lymph-node–negative, HER2-positive breast cancer. It’s for patients who fit specific tumor size and HER2 test results and who can safely take chemotherapy-like medicines and stay on contraception during treatment.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT05867251RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
AVZO-021 for advanced breast and ovarian cancers
This early-stage study tests AVZO-021, a new anti-cancer medicine, in people with advanced solid tumors like specific types of breast and ovarian (or related) cancers. It’s meant to find the safest dose and look for signs the medicine can shrink tumors, especially in cancers with certain gene changes.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT05868226RecruitingPhase 1
Early cancer drug study for adults with advanced tumors
This Phase 1 study tests early (first-in-program) cancer medicines in people whose cancer has not been adequately controlled. It helps researchers learn the safest dose and early signs of whether the treatment may work for different tumor types and treatments.
