Harbin, HeilongjiangAges 18–70 - NCT04137653RecruitingPhase 3
New pre-surgery drug choice for triple-negative breast cancer
This trial tests which chemotherapy drug works better before surgery (neoadjuvant therapy) for triple-negative breast cancer that has spread to underarm lymph nodes. It compares two forms of paclitaxel given by random assignment to see which option may shrink the tumor more effectively and improve outcomes.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18–70 - NCT04138719RecruitingPhase 2
Test two chemotherapy combos before breast surgery for triple-negative cancer
This trial compares two different chemotherapy combinations given before surgery (neoadjuvant therapy) for people with triple-negative breast cancer. It looks to see which drug combination works better to control the cancer before and around the time of the operation.
Shijiazhuang, HebeiAges 18–70 - NCT04159142RecruitingPhase 2
Testing two chemo combos for advanced triple-negative breast cancer
This Phase 2 trial compares two chemotherapy combinations to see which works better for advanced triple-negative breast cancer. You would be asked to join one treatment arm based on study assignment and be followed for response and side effects.
Shijiazhuang, HebeiAges 18–70 - NCT04159818RecruitingPhase 2
Adding immune treatments to improve checkpoint drug response in TNBC
This Phase 2 trial tests strategies meant to “prime” the immune system so that immune checkpoint medicines may work better in people with triple-negative breast cancer that has spread (or can’t be fully cured). You might be considered if your cancer has measurable areas that can be biopsied and you meet specific health and prior-treatment rules.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT04282044RecruitingPhase 1
CRX100 drug trial for advanced cancers with or without pembrolizumab
This Phase 1 trial tests CRX100 (a new cancer medicine) alone and with pembrolizumab (an immune checkpoint drug) in people with advanced solid tumors. It’s mainly designed to check safety and side effects, and to see whether tumors respond, potentially helping people whose cancer has come back or stopped responding to standard treatment.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04303988RecruitingPhase 2
Trial for brain metastases from triple-negative breast cancer
This Phase 2 study tests a treatment for people with triple-negative breast cancer that has spread to the brain. It’s designed for situations where the cancer can’t be safely cured with surgery or focused radiation.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT04315233RecruitingPhase 1
Testing two drugs for hard-to-treat triple-negative breast and ovarian cancer
This Phase 1 trial tests ribociclib plus belinostat in people with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer or recurrent ovarian cancer. It also looks at your tumor’s genetics (from a fresh biopsy) to see who might respond better.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges 18 years+ - NCT04333706RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Sarilumab plus capecitabine for certain breast cancers
This trial studies whether adding sarilumab to capecitabine can shrink or control metastatic or high-risk breast cancer that lacks HER2 and is either triple-negative or hormone-resistant. It aims to find a safe dose first, then look at how well the treatment works compared with historical results.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–99 - NCT04427293RecruitingPhase 1
Testing lenvatinib and pembrolizumab before breast cancer surgery
This early-phase trial tests whether lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab given before surgery can help treat early-stage triple-negative breast cancer. If you qualify, you would receive study medicines before your planned operation to remove the tumor and nearby lymph nodes.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT04434040RecruitingPhase 2
Atezolizumab and sacituzumab to prevent breast cancer return
This trial tests two medicines after surgery and chemotherapy to help lower the risk that triple-negative breast cancer comes back. It’s for people whose cancer still showed “residual” invasive disease after neoadjuvant (before-surgery) chemotherapy, and whose blood test shows traces of tumor DNA.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04437160RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo after surgery for triple-negative breast cancer with leftover tumor
This Phase 2 study tests chemotherapy given after surgery for people with triple-negative breast cancer who still have cancer left after initial (neoadjuvant) chemo. It may help lower the chance the cancer comes back in people at higher risk based on leftover tumor and lymph node findings.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT04468061RecruitingPhase 2
Study chemo drug plus immunotherapy for metastatic triple-negative breast cancer
This trial tests sacituzumab govitecan (an antibody-drug medicine) with or without pembrolizumab (an immune-system therapy) in people with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer. It may help by shrinking tumors and improving immune control, especially for patients with specific tumor marker results.
Stamford, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT04481763RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Camrelizumab plus radiation for early triple-negative breast cancer
This trial studies whether adding camrelizumab (an immunotherapy drug) to radiation can improve outcomes and be safe for people with early triple-negative breast cancer. It is designed for specific early-stage cases after breast surgery, using tumor and blood tests to match the cancer’s features.
Nanchang, JiangxiAges 18–75 - NCT04501523RecruitingPhase 2
ctDNA-guided immunotherapy boost after chemotherapy for triple-negative breast cancer
This Phase 2 study checks whether a blood test that looks for cancer DNA (ctDNA) can help decide who should get an extra 12-month immunotherapy treatment after standard chemotherapy and surgery. It may help reduce the chance of the cancer coming back in people with triple-negative breast cancer.
