Recruiting studies
- NCT05305092Recruiting
Study of memory and thinking in early breast cancer
This study checks how breast cancer affects memory and thinking before other treatments start. It may help doctors better understand cognitive changes and who is most at risk.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges Any age - NCT04698252RecruitingPhase 2
Local treatment for ER/PR-positive limited spread breast cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether treating a small number of metastatic spots with a local approach (like targeted radiation, surgery, or ablation) can help people with ER/PR-positive breast cancer. It aims to help when the cancer has spread only to a few areas and has not significantly worsened after initial whole-body treatment.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT04486495Recruiting
Minimally invasive lymph node treatment after chemo for node-positive breast cancer
This study looks at a less invasive way to check and treat lymph nodes in the armpit after you receive chemotherapy (and sometimes immunotherapy) before breast surgery. It may help people with cancer that has already spread to armpit lymph nodes by improving how staging and treatment are done.
's-HertogenboschAges 18 years+ - NCT05541367Recruiting
ER PET/CT scan test for breast cancer
This trial studies how well an ER PET/CT scan can image breast cancer. It may help doctors see whether a cancer has estrogen receptor (ER) activity, which can guide treatment planning.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT05587777Recruiting
Tracking chronic conditions during standard breast cancer treatment
This study monitors health problems that can happen over time in people with breast cancer while they receive usual treatments like hormone therapy, chemotherapy, and/or radiation. It may help researchers understand which extra symptoms or complications show up and when, to improve care and follow-up.
StavangerAges 19–80 - NCT03150576RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Before-surgery treatment for triple-negative or BRCA breast cancer
This trial tests an “at-the-source” medicine given before surgery to shrink triple-negative and/or BRCA-related breast cancer. It may help doctors see whether it improves tumor response and reduces cancer spread at surgery time.
Cambridge, CambridgeshireAges 16–70 - NCT05462457Recruiting
Tests adding a targeted approach for breast cancer with many involved nodes
This trial studies a treatment plan for early breast cancer that involves at least three suspicious lymph nodes on the ultrasound/imaging. It looks at whether a targeted technique—done before surgery with chemotherapy—can improve or guide care when surgery will remove the lymph nodes.
EssenAges 18 years+ - NCT03436069Recruiting
Finding new markers to predict breast cancer outlook
This study looks for new lab “markers” that may help predict how breast cancer is likely to behave over time. Your tumor or health information may be used to find factors that can guide doctors’ predictions.
GrenobleAges 18 years+ - NCT04690439Recruiting
Light therapy to treat breast cancer–related arm swelling
This trial studies whether a noninvasive light-based treatment (photobiomodulation) can reduce breast cancer–related lymphedema, which is swelling in the arm or chest area due to lymph fluid buildup. If you qualify, you’ll be asked to follow a set treatment and follow-up schedule to see if symptoms improve safely.
Hasselt, LimburgAges 18 years+ - NCT04483804Recruiting
Using computer image features to study breast cancer
This study looks at breast cancer images to see whether computer-extracted patterns (“radiomics”) can help improve understanding of the disease. You may be included if your breast cancer diagnosis is confirmed and your medical records are complete.
Hanzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–80 - NCT05732051RecruitingPhase 2
Nicotinamide riboside to protect the heart during breast cancer chemo
This trial tests whether nicotinamide riboside can help prevent heart problems caused by a common breast-cancer chemotherapy (anthracyclines). If you’re eligible, you’ll be followed to see how your heart is doing during treatment.
Lørenskog, AkershusAges 18 years+ - NCT05638594RecruitingPhase 2
Neoadjuvant drug study for hormone- and HER2-positive breast cancer
This trial compares two combination treatment plans given before breast surgery (neoadjuvant therapy) for ER-positive and HER2-positive stage II–III breast cancer. It aims to see which plan works better to shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18–75 - 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 - NCT05452213RecruitingPhase 4
Study patterns of ribociclib response and resistance in breast cancer
This trial looks at how well ribociclib works and why it may stop working over time in people with advanced, hormone-receptor–positive, HER2-negative breast cancer. It also analyzes blood and tissue samples to help researchers understand resistance patterns and improve future treatment decisions.
Erlangen, BavariaAges 18 years+ - 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 - 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 - NCT05795335Recruiting
Testing CDK4/6 medicines for advanced hormone-positive breast cancer
This trial studies how CDK4/6 medicines fit into treatment for people with advanced hormone receptor–positive breast cancer that cannot be cured with surgery or radiation. It may help doctors understand the best way to use these medicines for disease that has returned or spread.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05058183Recruiting
Testing shorter chemotherapy for early HER2 or triple‑negative breast cancer
This study looks at whether some people with stage 1 HER2-positive or “triple-negative” breast cancer may safely need less (de-escalated) chemotherapy after surgery. The goal is to keep the cancer risk low while reducing treatment intensity, using special blood testing over time.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT05430399RecruitingPhase 3
Utidelone vs docetaxel for HER2-negative breast cancer
This trial compares utidelone with docetaxel in people with HER2-negative advanced or metastatic breast cancer. It aims to see which treatment works better and is safer for controlling the cancer and helping patients live longer.
Guangzhou, GangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT05976412Recruiting
Radiation to lymph nodes after surgery for higher-risk breast cancer
This trial looks at whether adding targeted radiation to lymph nodes after breast surgery can lower the chance of breast cancer coming back in people with higher-risk, node-negative disease. If you qualify, you may get a planned radiation approach designed for prevention, not treatment of spread.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06000917RecruitingPhase 2
Study of combination therapy before surgery for ER+/HER2+ breast cancer
This trial tests a combination of targeted therapies and chemotherapy given before surgery for women with a specific type of breast cancer that is both ER-positive and HER2-positive. The goal is to see if this treatment can shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT06028724Recruiting
Looking for cancer mutations using a blood test
This study uses a blood test (liquid biopsy) to find genetic changes in advanced solid tumors. It may help doctors choose the right treatment and monitor how well it works over time.
Aviano, PordononeAges 18 years+ - NCT06035016Recruiting
Pyrotinib and capecitabine after surgery for HER2+ breast cancer
This study tests whether taking pyrotinib (a daily pill) with capecitabine (another pill) after breast cancer surgery can help prevent HER2-positive early-stage breast cancer from coming back. It is for women who have already had their cancer removed and meet certain risk criteria.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06104085Recruiting
Imaging test for Trop2 in triple-negative breast cancer
