Recruiting studies
- NCT04626440Recruiting

TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT04636710Recruiting
Treatment approach study for stage III inflammatory breast cancer
This study looks at how to best plan local treatments (like surgery and/or radiation) for people with stage III inflammatory breast cancer. It may help doctors refine care plans for this aggressive subtype by studying how patients are treated and what outcomes they have.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04646759RecruitingPhase 3
Fulvestrant or capecitabine plus pyrotinib for metastatic breast cancer
This Phase 3 trial tests adding pyrotinib to standard hormone-based treatments (fulvestrant or capecitabine) to slow or control metastatic breast cancer. It’s for tumors that are hormone-receptor positive and HER2 positive, where standard options have been used before.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT04679454Recruiting
One-dose pre-surgery radiation for early breast cancer
This study tests whether giving a single dose of radiation before breast surgery can be safe and effective for early-stage breast cancer. It may help by shrinking or treating the tumor right before the operation, depending on your case.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT04687956Recruiting
Preventing arm swelling after breast cancer lymph node surgery
This study looks at ways to prevent arm swelling (lymphedema) related to breast cancer after surgery to remove lymph nodes. It may help people who are getting axillary lymph node dissection lower the chance of long-term swelling.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT04692818Recruiting
3D ultrasound imaging for women with a breast lump
This study tests how well a new 3D ultrasound method can “see” a solid breast lump that is being biopsied. It may help doctors get clearer images to guide diagnosis, especially alongside a standard biopsy.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT04722692RecruitingPhase 3
Delayed sentinel lymph node biopsy for ductal cancer in situ
This trial tests whether doing a sentinel lymph node biopsy later (after breast surgery) is a safe, accurate way to check if cancer has spread. It uses a special tracking shot that helps find the lymph nodes.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04722978RecruitingPhase 3
Chemo plus moxifloxacin for metastatic triple-negative breast cancer
This trial tests whether adding moxifloxacin (an antibiotic) to standard chemotherapy helps people with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer live longer or respond better. You may qualify if your cancer has the right lab markers and you haven’t had treatment for metastatic disease yet.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT04740697Recruiting
Complementary therapies to help people stay on tamoxifen
This study looks at whether adding alternative or complementary supports can improve how well people stick with tamoxifen treatment for early hormone-related breast cancer. If it helps adherence, it may help people benefit more reliably from their prescribed therapy.
ToulouseAges 1.5 years+ - NCT04744506Recruiting
Targeted removal of armpit nodes after chemotherapy for breast cancer
This trial studies a more targeted surgery to remove cancer-involved lymph nodes in the armpit after you finish chemotherapy before surgery. It may help doctors better remove affected nodes while avoiding unnecessary tissue removal.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–85 - NCT04771871RecruitingPhase 2
Study tiny RNA changes in triple-negative breast cancer
This trial studies patterns of microRNA (tiny gene-regulating molecules) in women with triple-negative breast cancer. By comparing these microRNA profiles, the study hopes to better understand the disease and potentially guide future treatment choices.
Ile-Ife, OshunAges 18–70 - NCT04800393Recruiting
Breast surgery anesthesia and its effects on immunity and survival
This study compares two ways of giving anesthesia during breast cancer surgery to see how they affect the immune system and outcomes after surgery. It may help identify which anesthesia approach is better for people like you having early-stage, operable breast cancer surgery.
MoscowAges 45–74 - NCT04802759RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing drug combinations for recurrent or advanced ER-positive breast cancer
This early-phase trial tests several combinations of cancer medicines to slow or control ER-positive breast cancer that has returned or progressed. It also checks safety and whether tumor or blood biomarkers can help match the right treatment to the right person.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04824027Recruiting
Breast ultrasound testing during chemotherapy for breast cancer
This study looks at how breast tissue changes during chemotherapy given before surgery (neoadjuvant therapy). It may help doctors better understand treatment effects by taking special breast measurements.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04841148RecruitingPhase 2
Avelumab or hydroxychloroquine to target hidden breast cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding different medicines—either avelumab or hydroxychloroquine, with or without palbociclib—can eliminate dormant “leftover” breast cancer cells. It’s meant for people with hormone-receptor–positive breast cancer who have no visible cancer now, but still have detectable dormant cells in the bone marrow.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT04843865Recruiting
Chinese herbal add-on for joint pain from letrozole
This trial studies whether Chinese herbs, used alongside letrozole, can reduce ongoing joint and muscle pain or stiffness in postmenopausal women with hormone-receptor positive breast cancer. It’s mainly for people whose pain started or worsened after beginning letrozole and who have completed cancer treatments.
Bukit Bintang, Kuala LumpurAges 18 years+ - NCT04872166RecruitingPhase 1
BTX-A51 for advanced solid tumors and breast cancer patients
This Phase 1 study tests BTX-A51, an experimental treatment, in people with advanced cancers that can’t be cured with standard options. It mainly focuses on safety, side effects, and whether the drug can start helping certain tumors.
Lake Mary, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04874038RecruitingPhase 3
Lidocaine infusions to prevent long-lasting pain after breast surgery
This Phase 3 study tests whether receiving lidocaine through an IV during breast surgery can lower the chance of ongoing pain afterward. If it works, it may help some people avoid chronic, surgery-related pain in the chest wall, shoulder, or arm.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18–100 - NCT04874064Recruiting
AI blood tests for triple-negative breast cancer after treatment
This study uses a computer (AI) to read results from blood tests to look for signs of remaining triple-negative breast cancer, before and/or after surgery. It may help doctors better detect residual tumor and guide follow-up care.
London, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT04878666Recruiting
Breast cancer chest-wall recurrence quality of life with heat treatment
This trial studies how a special heating radiation treatment (“hyperthermia radiotherapy”) affects quality of life in people whose breast cancer has come back in the chest area. It may help show whether this treatment approach is tolerable and beneficial for everyday well-being.
Tübingen, Baden-WurttembergAges 18 years+ - NCT04888975Recruiting
Device study for one-arm swelling after lymph surgery
This study tests a medical device (Dayspring Technology) to reduce swelling in the arm caused by breast cancer treatment and lymph surgery. You may be eligible if you have one-sided arm swelling after lymphatic surgery and meet safety checks for the device.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04899908RecruitingPhase 2
Brain radiation with or without gadolinium nanoparticles for brain metastases
This trial tests whether adding tiny gadolinium-containing nanoparticles to standard brain radiation can better control brain metastases from certain cancers. It is for people with tumors that have grown after immunotherapy, are from certain cancers (like melanoma, GI, or HER2+ breast), are cystic, are large, or have come back after prior radiation.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04913064Recruiting
White button mushroom supplement for inflammation in high-risk breast cancer
