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+ - 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 - NCT07492641RecruitingPhase 3
A new drug plus letrozole for advanced HR+ breast cancer
This trial tests a new medicine (BGB-43395) combined with letrozole against the usual CDK4/6 inhibitor plus letrozole. It is for people with advanced or metastatic HR-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer who have not yet had treatment for advanced disease.

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 - NCT04852887RecruitingPhase 3
Testing shorter breast radiation after low-risk hormone breast cancer
This Phase 3 trial studies whether “less intense” radiation can work as well as standard radiation for certain early-stage hormone receptor–positive, HER2-negative breast cancers that have a low Oncotype DX score. It may help reduce treatment burden while keeping cancer control strong.
Richmond, VirginiaAges 50–70 - NCT05592938Recruiting
Partial breast re-irradiation for cancer recurrence
This trial tests a shorter course of radiation to only the part of the breast where cancer has come back. It's for women who had radiation years ago and now have a small new or recurrent tumor that can be removed by surgery.
Richmond, VirginiaAges 18–99 - NCT06065748RecruitingPhase 3
New hormone therapy for advanced breast cancer after prior treatment
This trial tests a new oral hormone therapy, giredestrant, against a standard hormone therapy (fulvestrant) when both are given with a CDK4/6 inhibitor. It is for people with advanced ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer that has come back after initial hormone therapy, and who have not yet had other treatments for advanced disease.
Richmond, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05595577Recruiting
Personalized exercise program to improve fitness during cancer care
This trial tests whether a tailored, home-based exercise plan can improve exercise capacity (how far and how safely you can be active) in people receiving cancer treatments that may affect the heart. It may help you build safer stamina while monitoring your heart health.
Richmond, VirginiaAges 18–85 - 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.
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+ - 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 - NCT06418204Recruiting

Richmond, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07426913Recruiting
Virtual reality heart health for breast cancer survivors
This trial tests if a virtual reality program can help breast cancer survivors taking certain chemotherapies improve their heart health. It's for people currently receiving trastuzumab or anthracycline-based treatment, along with immunotherapy, for their first breast cancer diagnosis.
Richmond, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05929768RecruitingPhase 3
Shorter chemo plus immunotherapy without anthracyclines for early TNBC
This Phase 3 trial tests whether a shorter course of chemotherapy plus immunotherapy can work as well as standard treatment for early-stage triple-negative breast cancer. It avoids anthracycline drugs and may help reduce exposure to those medicines if the shorter plan is effective and safe.
Richmond, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06369285RecruitingPhase 2
Alisertib and hormone therapy for advanced breast cancer
This trial tests a new drug, alisertib, combined with hormone therapy for people with HR-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer that has spread or come back and is no longer curable. It may be an option if you've already tried at least two hormone therapies and a CDK4/6 inhibitor.
Richmond, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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 - 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 - 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+ - NCT06966388RecruitingPhase 1
Azelaic acid cream for breast cancer patients during radiation
This study tests whether using a topical azelaic acid cream twice daily during radiation therapy is feasible for breast cancer patients. The cream may help reduce skin side effects from radiation, and the study focuses on people with certain skin types that tan easily or have more pigment.
