Recruiting studies
- NCT04084730RecruitingPhase 2
3-day radiation after breast-conserving surgery for certain breast cancers
This trial tests whether a shorter, 3-day course of partial breast radiation after surgery works as well as standard radiation for women with early-stage breast cancer. It may help reduce time in treatment while aiming to keep cancer from coming back in the treated breast area.
Norwalk, ConnecticutAges 45 years+ - NCT04797299Recruiting
Testing surgery alone for low-risk ductal carcinoma in situ
This trial studies whether removing the abnormal breast cells with breast-conserving surgery only (without additional treatment) is enough for people with low-risk ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). It may help some patients avoid extra treatments if their risk is very low.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 46 years+ - NCT05912569Recruiting
Test a delayed sentinel lymph node biopsy during mastectomy for DCIS
This trial tests whether doing a “sentinel lymph node biopsy” later (a delayed biopsy) can help assess whether cancer has spread to lymph nodes in people having a mastectomy for DCIS. It may help avoid unnecessary aggressive treatment if lymph nodes look normal.
SeoulAges 20–75 - NCT07762924RecruitingPhase 2
Skipping radiation for younger women with low-risk DCIS
This study is looking at whether it is safe for younger women who have had surgery for a very early-stage, low-risk breast condition called DCIS to skip radiation therapy. The goal is to see if they can avoid the side effects of radiation without the cancer coming back.
ShanghaiAges Up to 40 years - NCT07762885RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing skipping radiation after surgery for early-stage DCIS
This trial compares skipping radiation therapy after breast-conserving surgery for low- or intermediate-risk ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) – a very early, non-invasive breast cancer. It aims to see if omitting radiation is as effective as standard treatment while reducing side effects.
ShanghaiAges 40 years+ - NCT06075953RecruitingPhase 2
Testing Active Surveillance for Hormone-Positive DCIS After Surgery
This trial tests whether active surveillance (close monitoring) is a good option for certain patients with hormone-positive DCIS who have positive surgical margins after initial surgery. You would receive no immediate additional treatment—just regular imaging and check-ups.
Berkeley, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07711847Recruiting
Prone positioning for faster breast radiation therapy
This trial tests a personalized prone-immobilization device for partial breast radiation after surgery. It aims to make treatment more comfortable and accurate for patients who have had breast-conserving surgery.
New York, New YorkAges 40 years+ - NCT03448926Recruiting
DCIS test registry to guide radiation and drug decisions
This study collects information from people with breast ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) to see how a specific lab test (DCISionRT) may help predict who benefits from radiation and/or certain medications. Your results and clinical details are gathered during routine care, not necessarily to change treatment right away.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 30–85 - 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+ - NCT04049214Recruiting
Mindfulness program during breast cancer surgery
This trial tests whether a structured mindfulness program before and after breast cancer surgery can reduce stress and improve how patients feel and cope. You may be offered mindfulness materials to use around the time of your operation.
Newport Beach, CaliforniaAges 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+ - NCT06902311RecruitingPhase 2
Shorter radiation after lumpectomy for early breast cancer
This trial tests a shorter, more intense course of daily radiation therapy (called ultra hypo-fractionation) given after lumpectomy for early-stage breast cancer. The goal is to reduce the number of treatment visits while keeping the same high level of effectiveness and safety.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 50 years+ - NCT07111728Recruiting
Checking tumor margins during breast cancer surgery
This study tests a new imaging tool that helps surgeons see if any cancer cells are left behind during a lumpectomy. It may reduce the need for a second surgery.
Pavia, LombardyAges 18–85 - NCT07292246Recruiting
HandX-assisted endoscopic mastectomy study for breast cancer
This trial tests a new, less invasive way to remove breast tissue using a small camera (endoscope) with a device called HandX. It's for women who need a mastectomy for early-stage breast cancer, DCIS, or to reduce high risk, and aims to see if it's safe and works well.
Glyfada, AtticaAges 18 years+ - NCT07331506Recruiting
Early detection of breast cancer with a blood test
This trial tests a new blood test called Oncoliq to see if it can find breast cancer early. It compares results from people with breast cancer and people without cancer.
Buenos Aires, Buenos AiresAges 40–70 - NCT07507890Recruiting
Nipple-sparing mastectomy through one armpit incision
This trial tests a less invasive surgery for early-stage breast cancer that removes breast tissue through a single small cut in the armpit while keeping the nipple. It may be an option for women with small to medium breasts who are candidates for immediate breast reconstruction.
Candiolo, TurinAges 18 years+ - NCT06843681Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Trastuzumab and Chemo Before Surgery for HER2-Positive DCIS
This trial tests giving trastuzumab (a targeted drug) plus a chemotherapy drug called a taxane before surgery for women with HER2-positive ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), an early form of breast cancer. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink or eliminate the cancer before surgery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for dcis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 17 recruiting dcis 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 dcis 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 dcis 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.
