Recruiting studies
- 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.
SalzburgAges 18 years+ - NCT07532434Recruiting
Risk-Reducing Surgery for Hereditary Ovarian Cancer
This study follows women who carry gene mutations that increase ovarian cancer risk to understand how preventive surgery affects their health, quality of life, and peace of mind. Researchers will track your outcomes over 3 years to help inform future treatment decisions for others at similar risk.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07080944Recruiting
Lymph node biopsy after chemo for inflammatory breast cancer
This trial is testing if a less invasive sentinel lymph node biopsy can replace more extensive lymph node removal in women with inflammatory breast cancer who have had chemotherapy and whose nodes appear cancer-free. This could help avoid unnecessary side effects.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for breast surgery?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 204 recruiting breast surgery studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a breast surgery trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a breast surgery trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
