Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05020860RecruitingPhase 2
Study how early breast cancer responds on imaging and under a microscope
This Phase 2 study looks at how well early breast cancer shrinks with treatment and how that matches with what doctors find after surgery under the microscope. The goal is to learn better ways to predict and assess treatment success.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05035836RecruitingPhase 2
Test drug after early HER2-positive breast cancer surgery
This trial tests zanidatamab, a type of targeted antibody treatment, in people with early-stage HER2-positive breast cancer to see how well it works and how safe it is. Because it’s a single-arm pilot study, everyone in the study gets the drug, and you’ll likely be asked to undergo standard surgery if appropriate.
Houston, TexasAges 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+ - NCT05582499RecruitingPhase 2
Neoadjuvant treatment study for certain breast cancers
This Phase 2 study tests a “precision platform” approach—treatment before surgery—based on specific test results from your breast tumor. It may help determine whether the treatment plan works better for people with particular breast cancer subtypes and healthy organ function.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - 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.
GuangzhouAges 18–70 - NCT05891561RecruitingPhase 2
Short antibody treatment after surgery for early HER2+ breast cancer
This Phase 2 study tests a shorter schedule of trastuzumab and pertuzumab combined with chemotherapy (taxanes) to reduce breast cancer coming back after surgery. It mainly helps people with early-stage, HER2-positive breast cancer that has not spread, by testing whether a shorter plan still works well and is tolerable.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06000917RecruitingPhase 2
Study of combination therapy before surgery for ER+/HER2+ breast cancer
This trial tests a combination of targeted therapies and chemotherapy given before surgery for women with a specific type of breast cancer that is both ER-positive and HER2-positive. The goal is to see if this treatment can shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT06001086RecruitingPhase 2
Disitamab Vedotin plus Pyrotinib for HER2-positive early breast cancer
This trial tests a combination of two targeted drugs (Disitamab Vedotin and Pyrotinib) for people with HER2-positive early breast cancer. It aims to see if this treatment can improve outcomes before standard therapy.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT06035016Recruiting
Pyrotinib and capecitabine after surgery for HER2+ breast cancer
This study tests whether taking pyrotinib (a daily pill) with capecitabine (another pill) after breast cancer surgery can help prevent HER2-positive early-stage breast cancer from coming back. It is for women who have already had their cancer removed and meet certain risk criteria.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06185569Recruiting
French study on outcomes in HR+/HER2- early breast cancer patients with Oncotype DX
This study looks at how well treatments work for people with early-stage, hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer when the Oncotype DX test helps guide therapy. It aims to understand real-world outcomes in French patients.
BesançonAges 18 years+ - NCT06220214RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Study of chemo before breast cancer surgery with special mammogram
This trial tests whether a special mammogram with contrast can help doctors see how well chemotherapy is working before breast cancer surgery. It is for women who plan to have at least 4 rounds of chemo before their operation.
Stony Brook, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06236269RecruitingPhase 2
Sacituzumab Govitecan for HR+/HER2- advanced breast cancer
This trial tests a drug called Sacituzumab Govitecan for people with HR+/HER2- advanced or metastatic breast cancer that has stopped responding to a CDK4/6 inhibitor. It looks at whether the drug can slow down the cancer and requires you to have a tumor biopsy.
Badalona, BarcelonaAges 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 - 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+ - NCT06479460Recruiting
Blood test monitoring during chemo before surgery for HER2-positive breast cancer
This trial tests whether a blood test (ctDNA) can help doctors monitor how well chemotherapy before surgery is working in women with HER2-positive breast cancer. It aims to see if changes in the blood can predict treatment success.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - 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.
