Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07635147Recruiting
Decision Support Tool for Advanced Breast Cancer
This study tests a digital tool designed to help patients with advanced (stage IV) breast cancer make treatment decisions. The tool may help you understand your options and feel more confident discussing them with your doctor.
Brooklyn, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05827081RecruitingPhase 3
Ribociclib plus endocrine therapy for early breast cancer
This trial studies whether adding ribociclib to standard hormone (endocrine) therapy lowers the risk of breast cancer coming back in early-stage, hormone-receptor–positive cancer. It mainly looks at safety and how well the treatment controls cancer after surgery and (sometimes) prior hormone treatment.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–100 - NCT06492616RecruitingPhase 3
Elacestrant vs standard hormone therapy for high-risk early breast cancer
This trial tests a new hormone therapy pill (elacestrant) against standard hormone therapy for people with a common type of early breast cancer (ER+, HER2-) that has a higher chance of returning. You may qualify if you've already been on hormone therapy for 2 to 5 years and want to see if a different pill works better.
Daphne, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07541079RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a New Breast Cancer Drug for Women Who Can't Tolerate Current Therapy
This study tests giredestrant, a new hormone-blocking medication, in postmenopausal women with early-stage ER+ breast cancer who have experienced intolerable side effects from their current aromatase inhibitor therapy. The trial will measure how well you tolerate this new drug and how it affects your quality of life.
Fountain Valley, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03729115Recruiting
Enhanced breast cancer screening for high-risk women
This study tests a more thorough breast cancer screening program using MRI and other imaging for women at high risk. It aims to detect cancer earlier, which may improve treatment options and outcomes.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 25 years+ - NCT04768426RecruitingPhase 2
Watching DNA in blood while taking capecitabine after breast cancer
This trial checks how a blood test that looks for cancer DNA (ctDNA) changes during and after you take capecitabine after early triple-negative breast cancer. It aims to see whether these blood test results can help monitor the chance of the cancer coming back.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04517266Recruiting
Testing less radiation to the inner breast area
This trial studies whether some patients with early-stage breast cancer can safely skip a specific part of radiation to the inner chest (called internal mammary irradiation). It may reduce radiation side effects while still aiming to prevent the cancer from coming back.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT05512364RecruitingPhase 3
Elacestrant for ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer with ctDNA relapse
This trial tests whether elacestrant can help stop or delay breast cancer coming back in people whose blood test shows “ctDNA relapse” after early breast cancer treatment. It’s meant for hormone receptor–positive, HER2-negative breast cancer patients who are already taking hormone (endocrine) therapy and have no visible spread on scans.
AnderlechtAges 18 years+ - NCT06458764Recruiting
Checking sexual health in younger breast cancer survivors on hormone therapy
This study is checking how hormone therapy affects sexual health in younger women who had early-stage breast cancer. You'll fill out questionnaires about your sexual function and well-being.
Torino, TOAges 18–55 - NCT05306041RecruitingPhase 2
Pre-surgery hormone therapy with or without PI3K inhibitor
This trial tests whether giving hormone-blocking treatment before surgery works better when combined with an added targeted drug for certain breast cancers. It may help shrink the tumor and improve outcomes for people whose tumors have specific hormone and genetic features.
Essen, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT06823414Recruiting
Robotic-assisted nipple-sparing mastectomy trial
This trial tests a robotic-assisted surgery technique for women who need a mastectomy but can keep their skin and nipple. It aims to improve outcomes for breast cancer patients and those at high risk.
A Coruña, GaliciaAges 18 years+ - NCT06781281Recruiting
Chemo plus immunotherapy for early HR+/HER2- breast cancer
This trial tests adding an immunotherapy drug (serplulimab) to standard chemotherapy for early-stage HR+/HER2- breast cancer. The goal is to see if the combination works better than chemo alone before surgery.
ZhengzhouAges 18 years+ - NCT06765707Enrolling by invitation
Monitoring symptoms to improve medication use in breast cancer
This trial tests if tracking how you feel and reporting your symptoms can help women with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer take their hormone-blocking medication more consistently. It may be a good fit if you have been prescribed aromatase inhibitors or similar therapy and have had trouble taking it as directed.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06693024Recruiting
Neratinib after standard therapy for HER2-positive early breast cancer
This trial is testing whether adding neratinib after standard treatment helps prevent HER2-positive early breast cancer from coming back. It is open only to patients treated at Peking University People's Hospital.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT06534125Recruiting
Acupuncture to prevent joint pain from hormone therapy in Black women
This study tests whether acupuncture can prevent joint pain caused by a common hormone therapy pill (aromatase inhibitor) in Black women who have finished treatment for early-stage breast cancer.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05834764RecruitingPhase 2
Pyrotinib for high-risk HER2-positive early breast cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests pyrotinib, a HER2-targeted cancer medicine, in people with high-risk, HER2-positive breast cancer after surgery. It aims to lower the chance the cancer comes back, especially when standard treatment did not fully clear the tumor.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT05417867Recruiting
Tracking gut bacteria changes and nausea during chemo
This study looks at how changes in the gut “microbiome” (your gut bacteria) relate to fatigue and chemotherapy-induced nausea in people with early-stage breast cancer. It may help doctors better understand why nausea and fatigue happen and how to predict or manage them during treatment.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 20 years+ - NCT05460780Recruiting
Tissue device study for breast reconstruction after mastectomy
This first-time-in-humans study tests a tissue-engineering chamber called MATTISSE® to help the healing of breast reconstruction using specific tissue flaps after mastectomy for cancer. If you qualify, you would be assessed for safety and how well the reconstructed tissue heals.
Strasbourg, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT05433753Recruiting
Study for leftover cancer DNA in HER2-positive early breast cancer
This study looks for tiny traces of cancer after treatment by testing blood for “ctDNA,” which is leftover cancer DNA. It includes people with HER2-positive early breast cancer who are getting chemotherapy before surgery to see if this blood test can detect signs of remaining disease.
Chuo-ku, TokyoAges 20 years+ - NCT05586256Recruiting
Shorter radiation for early breast cancer after breast surgery
This trial studies giving whole-breast radiation in a shorter, more concentrated way after breast-conserving surgery. It aims to see if this “ultra-short” schedule is effective and safe for people with early breast cancer.
PerugiaAges 18–99 - NCT04750122RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Drug-screening guided treatment before surgery for HER2 breast cancer
This trial tests a treatment plan that is chosen using drug-testing in a lab (to see which medicines may work best) before surgery. It is for people with early-stage HER2-positive breast cancer, aiming to improve outcomes by guiding the right treatment early.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT04985266RecruitingPhase 2
Watch blood DNA for early breast cancer return, then add palbociclib
This study checks for early signs that ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer may be coming back by testing your blood for cancer DNA. If signs are found, it tests whether adding palbociclib plus fulvestrant works better than standard hormone therapy alone to prevent recurrence.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for early breast cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 430 recruiting early breast cancer 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 early breast cancer 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 early breast cancer 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.
