San Giovanni Rotondo, FGAges 18 years+ - NCT07366112RecruitingPhase 2
CDK4/6 inhibitor plus hormone therapy before breast cancer surgery
This trial tests a combination of a CDK4/6 inhibitor (a type of targeted therapy) with hormone therapy given before surgery for early-stage breast cancer that is hormone receptor-positive and HER2-negative. It aims to see if this approach can shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07354165Recruiting
Financial burden in early breast cancer patients
This study looks at the financial challenges people with early-stage breast cancer face during treatment. Researchers want to understand how costs affect patients so they can find ways to help.

Imlunestrant for premenopausal women with ER+/HER2- early breast cancer
This trial tests a new hormone-blocking pill (imlunestrant) in premenopausal women with early-stage ER+/HER2- breast cancer. Depending on whether you've had prior hormone therapy, the study will see if this treatment works better than standard options.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 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+ - NCT05332561RecruitingPhase 2
Personalized treatment after surgery for early breast cancer
This Phase 2 study checks whether adding a personalized (biomarker-matched) medicine after standard chemotherapy and surgery lowers the risk of breast cancer coming back. Your study drug choice depends on tumor test results (from your tumor’s genetics and immune markers).
Heidelberg, Baden-WurttembergAges 18 years+ - NCT07263451Recruiting
Testing a new treatment for small, early breast cancers
This study tests if a new treatment called IRE (irreversible electroporation) can safely treat small, early-stage breast cancers. It's for people with a single, small tumor that has not been treated yet.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT06911528Recruiting
New cell-probing technology for early breast cancer surgery
This trial tests a new technology that helps doctors examine cells during surgery for early-stage breast cancer. It may help make the sentinel lymph node biopsy more accurate.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07216495Recruiting
Exercise study for early-stage triple-negative breast cancer patients
This study tests if aerobic exercise can help women and men with stage 2 or 3 triple-negative breast cancer who are getting chemotherapy and immunotherapy before surgery. It aims to see if exercise improves treatment outcomes and quality of life.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07218432Recruiting
TheraBionic device study for hormone-positive breast cancer
This trial tests a device called TheraBionic P1, which uses low-level radiofrequency energy, for women with early-stage hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer. It is given before surgery to see if it can help shrink the tumor.
Clarkston, MichiganAges 22 years+ - NCT07215364Recruiting
Exercise and quality of life in early breast cancer on hormone therapy
This trial tests if a supervised exercise program can improve quality of life for people with early-stage breast cancer who are currently taking hormone therapy (aromatase inhibitors with or without CDK4/6 inhibitors). It aims to see if exercise helps reduce side effects like fatigue and pain.
L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07178171RecruitingPhase 1
QL1706 + short chemo for early triple-negative breast cancer
This trial tests a new immunotherapy drug (QL1706) combined with a short course of common chemotherapy (anthracyclines or taxanes) for people with early-stage triple-negative breast cancer. The goal is to see if this combination is safe and helps shrink the tumor before surgery.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18–70 - NCT07182682RecruitingPhase 3
Sunvozertinib after surgery for early-stage NSCLC with certain EGFR mutations
This trial tests the drug sunvozertinib given after surgery to see if it prevents lung cancer from coming back. It is for people with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer that has specific changes in the EGFR gene (exon20 insertion or PACC mutations).
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06984250Recruiting
Shorter radiation with extra focus on tumor site for breast cancer
This trial tests a shorter course of radiation therapy that includes an extra dose to the tumor site for women with early-stage breast cancer. It aims to make treatment more convenient and effective after breast-conserving surgery.

Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07025785Recruiting
Testing for tumor DNA in blood after early-stage breast cancer surgery
This study looks for tiny bits of tumor DNA in your blood after surgery to see if it can help guide future treatment. It's for people who had surgery first (not chemotherapy before surgery) and have not seen the cancer spread.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for early-stage breast cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 129 recruiting early-stage 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-stage 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-stage 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.
