Recruiting studies
- NCT06461650Recruiting
Nicotine Cessation Before Breast Reconstruction
This study tests whether a program to help women with breast cancer quit using nicotine before reconstructive surgery is feasible and helpful. If you use nicotine and are scheduled for reconstruction, you may be able to join.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18–80 - NCT04891510Recruiting
Compare fat grafting products in breast surgery
This trial compares three methods for moving your own fat into the breast during breast surgery. It may help improve how well fat grafting works and how surgeons choose the best method for you.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05491395Recruiting
Radiation after mastectomy with breast implant reconstruction
This trial studies a radiation schedule given after breast cancer surgery when your breast was rebuilt right away with a prosthesis (implant or similar). It aims to see whether this “hypofractionated” (fewer, larger treatment sessions) radiation approach is appropriate for patients who need additional (adjuvant) radiation to reduce recurrence risk.
Barretos, São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT07263347Recruiting
DIEP flap breast reconstruction: markers and outcomes
This study looks at how certain body markers change during and after DIEP flap breast reconstruction (rebuilding the breast with your own belly tissue) following mastectomy for breast cancer. It aims to improve outcomes and care for women undergoing this surgery.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–70 - NCT05774678RecruitingPhase 3
Pre-surgery radiation options for invasive breast cancer
This trial compares two schedules of radiation given before mastectomy to see which works better for invasive breast cancer, followed by immediate breast reconstruction. It also studies tiny “biomarker” signals in tissue to learn why one radiation approach may help more.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04342546Recruiting
Radiation skin side-effect test after mastectomy with implant
This trial looks at a test meant to predict how likely you are to develop side effects from radiation to the chest wall after mastectomy. It is designed for people getting immediate breast reconstruction using an implant, so treatment planning may be safer and more personalized.
DijonAges 18 years+ - NCT05449691Recruiting
Compare natural tissue samples with synthetic mesh in breast reconstruction
This study looks at how “biological” materials compare with synthetic mesh during immediate, one-stage breast reconstruction after mastectomy. It may help doctors choose the best support material to improve reconstruction outcomes for women undergoing this surgery.
DerbyAges 18 years+ - NCT06166953Recruiting
Smartphone education for breast reconstruction recovery
This study tests if a smartphone-based education program helps women who are recovering from breast reconstruction surgery after a mastectomy. If you are a Turkish speaker with a compatible smartphone, you may be able to join.
Ankara, ÇankayaAges 18–75 - NCT06830083Recruiting
Shorter radiation schedule after mastectomy with implant reconstruction
This trial is testing a shorter, higher-dose radiation schedule (hypofractionation) for women who have had a mastectomy and immediate breast reconstruction with implants. The goal is to see if this approach works as well as standard radiation while possibly being more convenient and causing fewer side effects.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–65 - NCT06981208Recruiting
ChatGPT and surgeon teamwork for breast reconstruction talks
This trial tests whether using a ChatGPT tool alongside your surgeon can make your breast reconstruction consultation clearer and more satisfying. It may help you feel more informed and engaged in decisions about your care.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT06569706Recruiting
Mastectomy with nipple preservation using endoscopy
This study tests a less invasive mastectomy for people with breast cancer. The surgery uses a small camera (endoscope) to remove breast tissue while keeping the nipple, and reconstruction is done at the same time.
MontpellierAges 20–75 - NCT07047872Recruiting
3D-printed breast form study for women after mastectomy
This study tests a custom 3D-printed external breast form for people who had a mastectomy without reconstruction. It aims to see if it improves comfort and satisfaction.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06748677Recruiting
Nipple-sparing mastectomy with robotic help and implant reconstruction
This trial tests a newer, less invasive way to remove breast tissue while keeping the nipple and skin, using robotic or endoscopic tools. It then rebuilds the breast with an implant wrapped in a non-biological mesh. The goal is to see how well patients recover and how they feel about the results.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT04356235Recruiting
Comparing immediate vs delayed breast implant reconstruction results
This study compares two timing options for rebuilding the breast with implants, looking at cosmetic results, quality of life, and patient satisfaction. It may help you understand which approach could fit you better and what to expect over follow-up time.
BudapestAges 18–65 - NCT07136753Recruiting
Study of radiotherapy effects on breast reconstruction
This study is looking at how radiotherapy affects women who have immediate breast reconstruction after mastectomy. The goal is to understand the changes and improve future care. Participants will have 3D imaging and answer questionnaires.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT06144164RecruitingPhase 3
Preventing Lymphedema After Breast Cancer Surgery
This trial tests a comprehensive prevention program to reduce lymphedema—a swelling in the arm—after breast cancer surgery that removes lymph nodes. If you qualify, you'll learn special exercises and care steps to lower your risk.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18–75 - NCT07261904Recruiting
Study of a medical tattoo for nipple reconstruction
This trial tests a medical tattoo called BIOCHROMADERM® for women or men who need a nipple-areola tattoo after breast reconstruction surgery. It checks if the tattoo is safe and works well.
LilleAges 18 years+ - NCT04003038Recruiting
Negative pressure wound dressings after breast reconstruction in obesity
This trial tests whether a special “suction” dressing (negative pressure wound therapy) helps wounds heal better after breast reconstruction using tissue from the belly, especially in people with higher body weight. You may be more likely to benefit if you’re at higher risk for wound problems after abdominal flap surgery.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05032768Recruiting
Study links between skin bacteria and radiation skin reactions
This study looks at how changes in the skin’s normal bacteria (microbiome) relate to getting redness, irritation, or rash after breast radiation. It may help doctors predict who is more likely to have skin side effects after reconstruction and radiation.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT07672392Recruiting
Exercise after breast reconstruction surgery
This trial tests whether a structured exercise program after DIEP flap breast reconstruction helps improve physical fitness compared to standard care. It may help women recover strength and well-being after surgery.
Beaumont, DublinAges 18 years+ - NCT06153836RecruitingPhase 2
Restoring nipple sensation after mastectomy
This trial is testing a surgical technique to reconnect nerves in the nipple and areola after a mastectomy, aiming to restore feeling. It is for women with breast cancer who are having a nipple-sparing mastectomy with implant reconstruction.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07460297Enrolling by invitation
Antibiotic and iodine for infection prevention in breast reconstruction
This trial tests if a combination of a pseudomonas bacteria injection and an iodine solution can help prevent infections in women having immediate breast reconstruction with implants after mastectomy or breast-conserving surgery.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18 years+ - NCT07222514Recruiting
Robotic surgery for breast reconstruction using belly tissue
This trial tests a new robotic technique to safely harvest belly tissue for breast reconstruction after a mastectomy. The goal is to see if it's feasible and safe to use a single robotic arm to collect the tissue needed for a DIEP flap procedure.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT05512286Recruiting
Radiation experience after breast surgery with belly flap
This trial looks at how people feel (patient-reported outcomes) and how safe treatment is when radiotherapy is given after a mastectomy with a DIEP belly skin-flap reconstruction. It may help doctors understand which experiences to expect and how to improve care.
