Beverly Hills, CaliforniaAges 22 years+ - NCT07053085RecruitingPhase 2
Surgery or radiation for stable HER2+ breast cancer spread
This study tests whether combining surgery or strong focused radiation with standard treatment can help people whose HER2-positive breast cancer has spread to a few spots (5 or fewer) in the body, but not the brain. It's for patients whose cancer is stable after at least 3 months of first-line therapy.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05301881RecruitingPhase 2
Keep the same treatment after limited metastatic growth
This study tests whether continuing your current systemic (whole-body) therapy is safe and helpful when only 1–2 metastatic spots start growing. It also checks whether adding local treatment (such as radiation or ablation) to those spots can better control the cancer.
AlkmaarAges 18 years+ - NCT04749446Recruiting
Study of outcomes in breast sarcoma patients
This study looks at the medical details and outcomes of people with breast sarcoma. It may help doctors better understand what treatments and factors are linked to different results over time.
Bologna, BOAges 19 years+ - NCT04329065RecruitingPhase 2
Vaccine with targeted breast cancer drugs before surgery
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding a cancer vaccine (with GM-CSF) to standard HER2-targeted chemotherapy before surgery improves treatment outcomes for HER2-positive breast cancer. If you join, you’ll receive planned medicine before surgery to treat the tumor, then continue with the study schedule.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT05485766RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab with cancer medicines for BRCA-mutated triple negative breast cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies a treatment plan given before surgery (neoadjuvant) and after surgery (adjuvant) for people with BRCA1/2-mutated triple negative breast cancer that has not spread. It aims to improve how well the cancer responds and how long people stay cancer-free.
Gifu, GifuAges 18 years+ - NCT07327021RecruitingPhase 2
MRI-Guided treatment reduction for stage 2-3 triple-negative breast cancer
This trial tests if using MRI scans can safely reduce the amount of chemotherapy and immunotherapy needed before surgery for triple-negative breast cancer. All patients will receive the standard KEYNOTE-522 regimen, but the treatment may be tailored based on MRI results.
Tel AvivAges 18 years+ - NCT04665882Recruiting
Prediction tool for arm swelling after breast cancer surgery
This trial tests a prediction tool (a “nomogram”) to estimate who is at risk of developing breast cancer–related lymphedema, or long-term arm swelling, after surgery. If you fit the surgery and lymph node criteria, your information may help personalize follow-up and prevention.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–80 - NCT05363189Recruiting
Improving recovery after breast reconstruction with belly-tissue flap
This study looks at ways to help your recovery after breast reconstruction using tissue moved from your lower belly (a DIEP flap). You may be asked to complete a questionnaire during the recovery period.
GothenburgAges 18–100 - NCT05633654RecruitingPhase 3
Test drug combo versus standard care for triple-negative breast cancer
This trial tests a cancer antibody-drug combination plus pembrolizumab (immunotherapy) versus standard treatment. It’s for people with triple-negative breast cancer that still has invasive disease in the breast or lymph nodes after surgery and chemotherapy before surgery.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06704945RecruitingPhase 3
Skipping armpit surgery after good chemo response
This trial tests whether it's safe to skip armpit surgery in people whose breast cancer has responded well to chemotherapy and whose lymph nodes appear cancer-free on ultrasound. It aims to reduce side effects like arm swelling while still controlling the cancer.
SeoulAges 19 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 - NCT06914440RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation and immunotherapy before surgery for HR+/HER2- breast cancer
This trial tests giving a short course of radiation (SBRT), then a chemo drug (Nab-Paclitaxel) with an immunotherapy drug (Toripalimab) before surgery for women with a type of breast cancer called HR+/HER2-. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors more effectively before removal.
Xi'an, Shannxi ProvinceAges 18–75 - NCT04637711Recruiting
Surgery for stubborn granulomatous breast inflammation
This study looks at surgical treatment for granulomatous lobular mastitis that has not been improving with non-surgical care. It may help people with more widespread or complicated breast inflammation, especially when there are abscesses or skin breakdown.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–60 - NCT05325632RecruitingPhase 2
HER2 breast cancer vaccine plus chemo and targeted antibodies
This Phase 2 study tests a personalized immune-therapy vaccine made from your immune cells, given with weekly paclitaxel and HER2-targeted antibodies (trastuzumab and pertuzumab). It aims to improve treatment outcomes for people with HER2-positive breast cancer before standard local treatment (like surgery and radiation).
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05846438Recruiting
Drain care check after breast implant surgery
This study looks at whether a specific way of caring for surgical drains can lower infection rates and improve quality of life after breast reconstruction with a tissue expander. You may be asked to follow the study’s drain-care steps during recovery.
Columbia, MissouriAges 18–100 - NCT04144023RecruitingPhase 1
Vaccine before surgery for HER2-positive breast duct cancer in place
This Phase 1 study tests a vaccine (H2NVAC) given before surgery to help the body fight HER2-expressing ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) that has not been removed yet. Because it’s early-stage, the main goal is to check safety and learn how the treatment may work.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06452485Recruiting
Re-irradiation with or without hyperthermia, or surgery only for recurrent breast cancer
This trial compares three treatment options for breast cancer that has come back in the chest or lymph nodes after previous radiation. It looks at adding hyperthermia (heating the tumor area) to re-irradiation, versus just re-irradiation or surgery alone, to see which offers better quality of life and survival with fewer side effects.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT06135714RecruitingPhase 3
Targeting limited breast cancer spread with focused therapy
This trial tests whether treating just the few spots where breast cancer has spread (called oligometastases) with radiation or surgery can help control the disease. It is for people whose cancer has spread to 3 or fewer places, each small in size, and who are healthy enough for local treatments.
Tokyo, TokyoAges 18–80 - 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+ - NCT05945329Recruiting
New scar-wrap to treat painful tightness after breast implants
This trial tests a medical mesh/scaffold (GalaFLEX LITE™) used during revision surgery to help treat capsular contracture, where scar tissue tightens around a breast implant. It may improve comfort and the appearance of the breast after implant augmentation problems.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 22–70 - NCT03017573Recruiting
Cancer biobank study linking tumor, immune system, and environment
This study collects tumor and related samples from people with certain newly diagnosed cancers. Researchers use these samples to better understand how cancer cells, the surrounding tissue, and the immune system interact, which may guide better future treatments.
BordeauxAges 18 years+ - NCT04289935Recruiting
Vacuum biopsy before surgery to check treatment response
This trial studies a special vacuum-assisted biopsy taken just before breast surgery to see how well pre-surgery (neoadjuvant) chemotherapy worked. It may help doctors understand whether patients truly had a complete or near-complete response on scans, which can guide next steps.
