LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT05063136RecruitingPhase 3
Metronomic capecitabine with hormone therapy after breast cancer
This trial studies whether a low-dose “metronomic” chemotherapy medicine (capecitabine) added to standard hormone therapy can reduce breast cancer coming back. It is for people with hormone-receptor–positive, HER2-negative breast cancer after surgery and chemo.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18–70 - NCT05092373RecruitingPhase 1
Tumor treating device plus targeted or immune drugs for advanced cancers
This Phase 1 study tests whether a tumor treating fields device works better when added to standard cancer drugs. It may help people with advanced solid tumors in the chest or belly, especially when standard treatment didn’t work or can’t be tolerated.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05108298Recruiting
Study to improve cancer survey reporting for young adults
This study focuses on collecting better self-reported information (from questionnaires) from young adults with cancer. It may help improve how future cancer trials understand symptoms and quality-of-life needs.
Fairbanks, AlaskaAges 18–39 - NCT05159193RecruitingPhase 3
Pre-surgery chemotherapy and antibodies for HER2 breast cancer
This phase 3 trial compares two pre-surgery treatment plans for people with HER2-positive invasive breast cancer that has spread to nearby lymph nodes. It aims to see which plan works better to shrink the tumor before surgery and improve outcomes.
Guandong, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT05184582Recruiting
Exercise program during chemotherapy for breast cancer
This trial studies whether a structured exercise program during pre-surgery chemotherapy can be safely done and may help people feel and function better during treatment. You may join if you have invasive breast cancer and can commit to the exercise plan while on chemotherapy.
MelbourneAges 18–100 - NCT05216432RecruitingPhase 1
RLY-2608 for PIK3CA-mutant advanced solid tumors and breast cancer
This early study (Phase 1) tests RLY-2608, a targeted cancer drug for tumors with a PIK3CA mutation. It studies the drug alone and combined with hormone therapy (and sometimes CDK4/6 or CDK4 medicines) to see safety, dose, and whether it can shrink tumors.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05292742RecruitingPhase 2
Continue targeted breast cancer therapy or switch to a new combo
This Phase 2 study compares two treatment plans after breast surgery when cancer did not fully disappear before surgery. It tests whether adding trastuzumab, pyrotinib, and capecitabine works better than continuing the original targeted therapy.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–75 - NCT05301881RecruitingPhase 2
Keep the same treatment after limited metastatic growth
This study tests whether continuing your current systemic (whole-body) therapy is safe and helpful when only 1–2 metastatic spots start growing. It also checks whether adding local treatment (such as radiation or ablation) to those spots can better control the cancer.
AlkmaarAges 18 years+ - NCT05305092Recruiting
Study of memory and thinking in early breast cancer
This study checks how breast cancer affects memory and thinking before other treatments start. It may help doctors better understand cognitive changes and who is most at risk.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges Any age - NCT05349227Recruiting
After-cancer digital coaching and wearable tracking outcomes study
This study tests a digital health coaching program (using phone/tablet check-ins and wearable data) to understand health and quality-of-life outcomes after cancer treatment. It may help you learn healthy habits and track progress over time.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05377047Recruiting
Targeted radiation for limited recurrent breast cancer spread
This trial tests whether a precise form of high-dose radiation can control up to 1–5 breast cancer metastases (spread) in a few body areas. It may help by focusing treatment only on visible spots while limiting radiation to the rest of the body.
Gothenburg, Västra GötalandsregionenAges 18 years+ - NCT05378204Recruiting
Testing DNA repair marker for PARP inhibitor resistance
This study looks at specific DNA “damage repair” proteins as a marker to understand why some BRCA-mutated breast cancers may resist PARP inhibitor treatment. Your biopsy (or existing biopsy) helps researchers study whether these lab markers relate to how well PARP inhibitors work.
BordeauxAges 18 years+ - NCT05379153RecruitingPhase 3
Laser treatment for vaginal dryness after breast cancer
This Phase 3 study tests laser therapy to treat bothersome vaginal dryness (with or without pain during sex) in women who have finished breast cancer treatment. If you qualify, you may receive the study laser procedure to see if it improves symptoms compared with standard care.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 22 years+ - NCT05414357Recruiting
Sleep problems study in breast cancer and effects on thinking
This study looks at how sleep problems affect thinking and daily quality of life in people treated for early breast cancer. It may help researchers understand which sleep issues to target to improve well-being during or after treatment.
CaenAges 45–65 - NCT05415709RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Cisplatin heated during surgery or before surgery for advanced ovarian cancer
This early-phase study tests whether giving cisplatin (a chemotherapy drug) heated in the abdomen during surgery—or giving cisplatin before surgery—can improve treatment for stage III or IV ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cancer. It’s designed for people who are having surgery after several cycles of standard chemotherapy and may benefit from a better cancer-killing approach at the time of tumor removal.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05420454RecruitingPhase 4
Neoadjuvant treatment for breast cancer before surgery
This trial tests a treatment given before breast surgery to shrink breast cancer and improve outcomes based on your tumor type. Your eligibility depends on tumor size/stage, hormone and HER2 markers, and overall health checks.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT05420467RecruitingPhase 4
Trial of add-on breast cancer treatment after surgery
This Phase 4 study tests an additional (adjuvant) treatment for breast cancer after surgery and standard follow-up care. It may help lower the chance the cancer comes back, but you must match specific tumor and body-chemistry requirements to join.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT05422794RecruitingPhase 1
Adding a new drug plus pembrolizumab to standard chemo for TNBC
This trial studies whether adding a new anti-cancer drug (ZEN-3694) and the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab to standard chemotherapy (nab-paclitaxel) can work better for advanced triple-negative breast cancer. It’s testing safety first (Phase 1) and, for some patients, how well the treatment controls the cancer.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05430399RecruitingPhase 3
Utidelone vs docetaxel for HER2-negative breast cancer
This trial compares utidelone with docetaxel in people with HER2-negative advanced or metastatic breast cancer. It aims to see which treatment works better and is safer for controlling the cancer and helping patients live longer.
Guangzhou, GangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT05455619RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Targeted drugs for PI3K-altered, HR+/HER2- breast cancer
This Phase 1/2 trial tests how well a combination of targeted medicines works for advanced or returning HR+/HER2- breast cancer that has a PI3K pathway change (such as PIK3CA, PTEN, or AKT1). It may help by blocking growth signals in the cancer and is especially for people whose cancer has progressed after hormone therapy and a CDK4/6 inhibitor.
Loma Linda, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05462457Recruiting
Tests adding a targeted approach for breast cancer with many involved nodes
This trial studies a treatment plan for early breast cancer that involves at least three suspicious lymph nodes on the ultrasound/imaging. It looks at whether a targeted technique—done before surgery with chemotherapy—can improve or guide care when surgery will remove the lymph nodes.
EssenAges 18 years+ - NCT05465031RecruitingPhase 4
Testing heart-protection medicine during breast cancer treatment
This trial tests sacubitril/valsartan to help prevent heart weakness (cardiotoxicity) caused by breast cancer treatments like anthracyclines and/or anti-HER2 drugs. If you qualify, you may be offered this heart-protection medicine while your cancer is treated.
Opole, Opole VoivodeshipAges 18 years+ - NCT05466786Recruiting
Testing gene changes and DNA damage in HER2-low breast cancer
