- NCT07578116RecruitingPhase 3
Adding surgery and radiation for her2-positive breast cancer with a few spread spots
This trial tests whether adding surgery and radiation to the usual HER2-targeted treatment helps people with breast cancer that has spread to a few spots. You must have HER2-positive cancer that is newly spread, and you must be able to receive radiation to all tumor sites.
Richmond, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06058377RecruitingPhase 3
Adding immunotherapy to chemo for stage II-III breast cancer
This trial tests whether adding the immunotherapy drug durvalumab to standard chemotherapy works better than chemo alone for people with hormone receptor positive, HER2 negative breast cancer that is stage II or III and has a high-risk genetic score (MammaPrint High Risk 2).
Richmond, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05633654RecruitingPhase 3

Richmond, VirginiaAges 18–99 - NCT06995898Recruiting
Blood test study for early cancer detection
This study is testing a new blood test that may help find cancer early. You will give blood samples over a year, and researchers will check them for signs of cancer.
Richmond, VirginiaAges 45–75 - NCT07173751RecruitingPhase 3
Pumitamig for advanced triple-negative breast cancer
This study tests a new drug called pumitamig for people with a type of breast cancer that is triple-negative or has very low hormone receptors and has come back or spread. It aims to see if pumitamig works better than standard treatment and how safe it is for people who cannot get PD(L)-1 immunotherapy with chemo.
Richmond, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06401421Recruiting
Blood test for tumor DNA after breast cancer chemo
This study tests a new blood test to see if it can find tiny bits of tumor DNA after chemotherapy. If you have a larger or higher-risk breast cancer and are getting chemotherapy before surgery, you may join. The test could help doctors know if your cancer is gone or if more treatment is needed.
Richmond, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06748222RecruitingPhase 3
Online mindfulness program for breast cancer survivors
This trial tests a 6-week online mindfulness program to help breast cancer survivors manage mild to moderate depression. You may qualify if you finished active treatment within the last 5 years and can use a digital device.
Richmond, VirginiaAges 18–50 - NCT06876714RecruitingPhase 3
Shorter vs Longer HER2 Therapy for Breast Cancer with Complete Response
This trial compares 6 months versus 12 months of HER2-targeted therapy for people with HER2+ breast cancer who had a complete response after chemo and trastuzumab. The goal is to see if a shorter treatment is just as effective.
Richmond, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06185205RecruitingPhase 2
Accelerated high-dose radiation for early breast cancer
This trial tests a very short, high-dose radiation treatment given directly to the breast after lumpectomy. It aims to make radiation more convenient by finishing in just a few days instead of weeks, possibly with fewer side effects.
Richmond, VirginiaAges 45–79 - NCT06610539Recruiting
Magnetic tracer for sentinel node biopsy in breast cancer
This study tests a magnetic tracer call Magtrace to help find and remove the first lymph node (sentinel node) during breast cancer surgery. The goal is to see if it works well for people having breast-conserving surgery.
Richmond, VirginiaAges 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.
Richmond, VirginiaAges 18–130 - NCT05334069Recruiting
Blood test study for early cancer detection in patients
This study collects blood from people with cancer and people without cancer (or with possible cancer) to test whether new blood tests can detect cancer earlier. Your blood samples help researchers evaluate how well these tests work.
Richmond, VirginiaAges 40–75 - NCT06492616RecruitingPhase 3
Elacestrant versus standard hormone therapy for early breast cancer
This trial compares a new medicine, elacestrant, to the usual hormone therapy for people with early-stage breast cancer that is hormone receptor-positive and HER2-negative, and who have a high chance of it coming back. The goal is to see if elacestrant works better at preventing the cancer from returning.
Richmond, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07474090Recruiting
Personalized Exercise Program for Breast Cancer Survivors
This study tests whether a personalized exercise program during chemotherapy helps breast cancer survivors recover better and feel stronger. You'll use a smartphone app to do guided workouts at home while getting support from exercise coaches.
Richmond, VirginiaAges 18–85 - NCT06507618RecruitingPhase 3
Pre-surgery hormone therapy to guide radiation decisions for breast cancer
This trial tests whether taking hormone therapy for 3 months before breast-conserving surgery can help doctors decide if radiation is right for you. It is for women aged 65 and older with a common type of breast cancer that is hormone receptor-positive and HER2-negative.
Richmond, VirginiaAges 65 years+ - NCT06418204Recruiting
Cannabis use among cancer patients in community clinics

Richmond, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05130606Recruiting
Story-based program to improve genetic cancer counseling for Latina women
This study tests a Spanish/English narrative (story-based) program designed to help improve genetic counseling and genetic testing for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer risk. It may help you better understand your options and feel more prepared to get the right type of genetic care.
Richmond, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05564377RecruitingPhase 2
Find targeted cancer treatments using genetic testing
This study matches people with advanced solid tumors to targeted treatment plans based on genetic testing. It also requires tumor sample testing to help doctors choose the most promising therapy for your specific tumor changes.
Richmond, VirginiaAges Any age - NCT05879926RecruitingPhase 3
Testing chemo after hormone therapy in premenopausal early breast cancer
This Phase 3 trial checks whether adding chemotherapy after standard hormone-blocking treatment works better for some premenopausal women with early-stage, ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer. It targets patients with limited lymph node spread and a lower-to-intermediate tumor “recurrence” risk score.
Richmond, VirginiaAges 18–60 - NCT05812807RecruitingPhase 3
Pembrolizumab versus monitoring after triple-negative breast cancer response
This trial checks whether giving pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy) after surgery helps people with triple-negative breast cancer reduce the chance of the cancer coming back, compared with close monitoring only. It’s for patients who had no remaining invasive cancer after neoadjuvant chemotherapy plus pembrolizumab.
Richmond, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT03606967RecruitingPhase 2
Individualized vaccine added to standard treatment for metastatic triple-negative breast cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding a personalized cancer vaccine to durvalumab (an immunotherapy), tremelimumab (another immunotherapy), and chemotherapy can improve outcomes for people with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer. It may help your immune system recognize your specific tumor features.
