Recruiting studies
- NCT06610565Recruiting
Fasting-mimicking diet for breast cancer side effects
This study tests if a special diet that mimics fasting can help reduce side effects from hormone therapy (aromatase inhibitors) in women with breast cancer. The diet is a low-calorie meal plan designed to lower cholesterol and improve well-being.

Acupuncture and self-massage for quality of life during breast cancer chemo
This trial tests whether combining electroacupuncture with self-acupressure can improve quality of life for people with early-stage breast cancer during chemotherapy. The treatment is non-invasive and aims to reduce side effects.
Xining, QinghaiAges 18–75 - NCT06536881Recruiting
Diet and gut health during breast cancer chemo
This study looks at how changing your diet during chemotherapy affects side effects and your body's energy use. It involves providing stool samples to study gut bacteria.

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+ - NCT06535893RecruitingPhase 2
Testing new treatments for early breast cancer
This trial tests new treatments for early breast cancer (stage II or III). It aims to find better therapies that can stop the cancer from coming back, and you may receive a promising new drug.
Nagoya, Aichi-kenAges 18–80 - NCT06518837RecruitingPhase 2
Tirzepatide for weight loss in early breast cancer
This study tests if tirzepatide (a weight loss drug) can help women and men with early-stage hormone receptor-positive breast cancer who are overweight or obese. The goal is to see if losing weight can improve outcomes after completing their initial breast cancer treatment.
Elizabeth, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06517212RecruitingPhase 2
Tirzepatide for weight loss in MRD-positive early breast cancer
This study tests whether the weight-loss drug tirzepatide (Mounjaro) can help prevent breast cancer from coming back in people who are overweight and have a sign of leftover cancer cells in their blood (called MRD-positive). You must have already finished at least one year of hormone therapy for early-stage breast cancer.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05957068Recruiting
Exercise program for breast cancer after surgery
This study tests an exercise intervention for people with early-to-mid stage breast cancer soon after curative breast surgery (and after chemo and/or radiation if you had it). It may help improve recovery, physical strength, and overall wellbeing by making exercise safer and more structured during this period.
SingaporeAges 21–99 - NCT06492616RecruitingPhase 3
Elacestrant versus standard hormone therapy for early breast cancer
This trial compares a new medicine, elacestrant, to the usual hormone therapy for people with early-stage breast cancer that is hormone receptor-positive and HER2-negative, and who have a high chance of it coming back. The goal is to see if elacestrant works better at preventing the cancer from returning.
Daphne, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06444269RecruitingPhase 2
Precision radiation before surgery for early hormone-positive breast cancer
This trial tests a focused radiation treatment before surgery for early-stage breast cancer that is hormone receptor positive and HER2 negative. The goal is to give precise radiation only to the tumor, with the hope of reducing side effects and improving outcomes.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06445738Recruiting
Can some women safely skip radiation after breast cancer surgery?
This trial is for women 50 and older with early-stage, hormone-positive or HER2-positive breast cancer. It tests whether it is safe to skip radiation therapy after a lumpectomy if an MRI before surgery shows the breast tissue looks a certain way.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 50 years+ - NCT06446882Recruiting
HER2DX test to guide treatment for early HER2+ breast cancer
This trial tests whether a new test (HER2DX) can help doctors choose the best treatment combination for HER2-positive breast cancer before surgery. It's for people whose cancer hasn't spread and who haven't started therapy yet.
GrazAges 18 years+ - NCT06375798Recruiting
Breast conservation with radiation during surgery for early breast cancer
This trial is for women aged 55 or older with very early-stage breast cancer (stage 0 or 1) who want to save their breast. It tests giving a single dose of radiation during the lumpectomy instead of weeks of daily radiation afterward.
Shijiazhuang, HebeiAges 55 years+ - NCT06388122Recruiting
Blood test study for HR+ breast cancer treatment monitoring
This study looks at a blood test (DiviTum TKa) to see how well it measures treatment response in people with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) breast cancer that has spread. The test may help doctors know if a treatment is working.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06328465Recruiting
MRI for early detection of breast cancer spread
This trial is testing a new way to use MRI scans to find breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body early. It is for people who have had aggressive breast cancer (HER2 positive or triple negative) and finished treatment with surgery, but still have a higher risk of the cancer coming back.
MilanAges 18–75 - NCT06324240RecruitingPhase 1
Personalized vaccine plus immunotherapy for triple-negative breast cancer
This trial tests a personalized vaccine made from your tumor combined with immunotherapy drugs (pembrolizumab or ipilimumab) for triple-negative breast cancer. It aims to help your immune system recognize and attack cancer cells.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06300125Recruiting
Freezing small low-risk breast tumors without surgery
This trial tests cryoablation (freezing the tumor with a needle) as a way to treat small, low-risk breast cancers without surgery. It is for women 50 or older whose cancers are hormone-receptor-positive and haven't spread to lymph nodes.
MilanAges 50 years+ - NCT05760612RecruitingPhase 3
After breast cancer surgery, test neratinib plus trastuzumab
This trial studies whether adding neratinib to standard trastuzumab treatment after neoadjuvant (before-surgery) therapy lowers the risk of breast cancer coming back. It is for people whose breast cancer is hormone-receptor positive and HER2 positive, with residual cancer found after neoadjuvant treatment.

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.
