- 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 - NCT03201861RecruitingPhase 3
Cisplatin added after surgery for high-risk breast cancer
This trial checks whether adding cisplatin to standard chemotherapy after surgery helps women with high-risk early-stage breast cancer lower the chance of the cancer coming back. You would be followed to see how well treatment works and whether it is tolerated.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - 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+ - NCT03452774Recruiting
AI matches your cancer tests to possible treatment trials
This trial uses an AI system to help match people with certain cancer types and specific tumor test results (like gene or protein markers) to relevant clinical trials. It may help you and your doctor find studies that fit your cancer biology faster.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Any age - NCT03536897Recruiting
Radiation registry after lumpectomy for certain early breast cancers
This study collects information about people with early-stage, hormone-receptor–positive breast cancer who have a lumpectomy and radiation. It may help doctors understand outcomes after this standard treatment and improve care for future patients.
Columbus, OhioAges 65 years+ - NCT03577197Recruiting
Breast cancer registry for advanced disease in southeast Netherlands
This trial is a cancer registry, meaning your medical information is collected and stored for people with advanced breast cancer. It can help researchers learn from real-world care patterns and outcomes across multiple hospitals in southeast Netherlands.
MaastrichtAges 18 years+ - NCT03591276RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Doxorubicin plus pembrolizumab for hormone-resistant breast cancer
This Phase 1b/2 trial tests a combination of pegylated liposomal doxorubicin and pembrolizumab for breast cancer that no longer responds to hormone treatment. It aims to see how well the combination works and how safely it can be given to patients with advanced disease.
JerusalemAges 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.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03694756Recruiting
Testing special MRI to see tiny breast cancer structures
This study is testing whether a special MRI scan can help show tiny features inside breast tumors (TMEM). It’s mainly a “feasibility” study, meaning the team is checking if the scan can be done safely and clearly in different types of operable breast cancer.
The Bronx, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT03740256RecruitingPhase 1
HER2-targeted oncolytic virus plus custom immune cells for solid cancers
This Phase 1 study tests a treatment plan that combines a virus designed to attack cancer with your own custom immune cells that target HER2. It aims to shrink advanced HER2-positive solid tumors (and make future options safer/more effective).
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03740893RecruitingPhase 2
Test drug to block DNA damage in triple-negative breast cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies a treatment given around the time of breast surgery to help shrink or control residual (remaining) triple-negative breast cancer. It also checks biomarkers (lab signals) to understand who benefits, with some people receiving anti–PD-L1 immunotherapy and some not.
Bournemouth, DorsetAges 18 years+ - NCT03787056Recruiting
Blood test marker study in many cancer types
This study measures a blood marker called progastrin (at diagnosis and during treatment) to see how well it predicts response or outcomes. It may help doctors choose or monitor treatment more precisely for several cancer types.
BronAges 18 years+ - NCT03788213Recruiting
Shorter vs longer radiation after breast cancer surgery
This trial compares giving breast radiation over one week versus three weeks after surgery. It aims to see whether the shorter schedule works just as well and is safe for people with certain types of early breast cancer.
Kolkata, West BengalAges 18 years+ - NCT03808337RecruitingPhase 2
SBRT radiation plus standard treatment for spread cancer
This trial looks at adding a focused radiation treatment called SBRT to standard care for cancers that have spread to a limited number of spots. It aims to control those spread-out tumors while still using the usual cancer treatment plan.
San Carlos, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03827317Recruiting
Scan to see HER2 in breast cancer with a new tracer
This study tests a new PET scan tracer to show where HER2-positive breast cancer cells may be in the body. It may help doctors better “map” HER2 activity, including in people with HER2-positive or HER2-negative cancer.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT03856372Recruiting
Shorter radiation schedule after mastectomy for high-risk breast cancer
This trial compares a shorter radiation plan to a standard longer plan after mastectomy for people considered high risk. It may help reduce treatment time while still trying to prevent breast-cancer recurrence.
Suzhou, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT03863457RecruitingPhase 1
PET/CT scan test for breast cancer using a new tracer
This Phase 1 study tests a new PET/CT imaging tracer to see how well it can detect breast cancer spots in the body. It may help doctors learn where breast cancer is and how imaging could work better in the future.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03870620Recruiting
Register for metastatic breast cancer patients in Austria
This trial is a non-treatment registry that collects information about people with metastatic breast cancer in Austria. It may help researchers better understand the disease and outcomes over time by tracking real-world patient details.
Salzburg, State of SalzburgAges 18 years+ - NCT03936478RecruitingPhase 2
MRI-guided partial breast radiation in three short treatments
This study tests a faster, targeted type of radiation for early breast cancer, using real-time MRI to help plan and guide treatment. It may help deliver the same cancer-fighting effect while limiting radiation to the rest of the breast.
Madison, WisconsinAges 40 years+ - NCT03941756Recruiting
Lymph bypass before underarm node surgery to prevent swelling
This study looks at whether adding a lymph “bypass” procedure before underarm lymph node surgery can lower the chance of arm or chest swelling (lymphedema) after cancer treatment. It compares people having lymph node surgery for breast cancer with plans for radiation, and a melanoma comparison group.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03946202RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation plus an in-tumor drug for breast cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests adding a drug inside the tumor (an “in-tumor” injection) to make radiation work better for locally advanced or recurrent breast cancer. It’s meant to help control the tumor area for better long-term local symptom control.
Trivandrum, KeralaAges 18 years+ - NCT03971045RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab plus low-dose oral chemo for chest wall breast cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests pembrolizumab (an immune therapy) plus low-dose oral cyclophosphamide in people with chest wall breast cancer that has spread locally and may have distant metastases. It aims to see if this combination can shrink tumors and control cancer longer, especially in tumors with certain immune markers.
