Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04660435Recruiting
Study how breast cancers resist CDK4/6 inhibitor treatment
This study looks at why some ER-positive, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancers don’t respond well to CDK4/6 inhibitors combined with hormone therapy. It may help researchers understand resistance and improve future treatment choices for people like you.
Prato, TuscanyAges Any age - NCT04665882Recruiting
Prediction tool for arm swelling after breast cancer surgery
This trial tests a prediction tool (a “nomogram”) to estimate who is at risk of developing breast cancer–related lymphedema, or long-term arm swelling, after surgery. If you fit the surgery and lymph node criteria, your information may help personalize follow-up and prevention.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–80 - NCT04666961RecruitingPhase 2
Hormone therapy before surgery for extensive DCIS
This Phase 2 study tests whether taking hormone medicine before surgery can change the surgical plan and outcomes for people with extensive ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). It is for estrogen-receptor positive DCIS and aims to see how this “neoadjuvant” approach affects treatment decisions.
AngersAges 40 years+ - NCT04669873Recruiting
Partial breast radiation vs whole breast radiation after lumpectomy
This trial studies whether treating only part of the breast with radiation works as well as treating the whole breast in people with early breast cancer after lumpectomy. It may help reduce radiation exposure to healthy tissue, while still controlling the cancer.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 50–90 - NCT04671511Recruiting
Check targeted lymph node surgery for early breast cancer
This study tests a more focused surgery approach to remove lymph nodes in the armpit for people with early breast cancer that has been found in 1–2 axillary lymph nodes. It may help guide more precise treatment while checking how well this approach works.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT04679454Recruiting
One-dose pre-surgery radiation for early breast cancer
This study tests whether giving a single dose of radiation before breast surgery can be safe and effective for early-stage breast cancer. It may help by shrinking or treating the tumor right before the operation, depending on your case.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT04680442RecruitingPhase 2
Keeping HER2 therapy when your heart function is weaker
This trial studies whether it’s safe to continue HER2-targeted breast cancer treatment (like trastuzumab, pertuzumab, or T-DM1) even when heart function (left ventricle) is reduced. It may help people avoid stopping a helpful cancer medicine because of heart concerns.
Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do SulAges Any age - NCT04683679RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation plus pembrolizumab and olaparib for certain breast cancers
This study tests whether adding the drugs pembrolizumab and olaparib (or similar “radiosensitizers”) to radiation can improve outcomes for women with advanced breast cancer that is triple-negative or ER-positive/Her2-negative. It’s designed for cancers that have spread or come back and where radiation is being considered to control disease.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT04684602RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of stem cells for several short- and long-term illnesses
This early-stage study tests whether injections of mesenchymal stem cells can be safe and helpful for certain chronic (long-term) and acute (short-term) conditions. You might be considered if you can consent, are able to return for follow-up visits, and do not have key reasons that would make stem-cell treatment unsafe.
Culver City, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04687956Recruiting
Preventing arm swelling after breast cancer lymph node surgery
This study looks at ways to prevent arm swelling (lymphedema) related to breast cancer after surgery to remove lymph nodes. It may help people who are getting axillary lymph node dissection lower the chance of long-term swelling.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT04690439Recruiting
Light therapy to treat breast cancer–related arm swelling
This trial studies whether a noninvasive light-based treatment (photobiomodulation) can reduce breast cancer–related lymphedema, which is swelling in the arm or chest area due to lymph fluid buildup. If you qualify, you’ll be asked to follow a set treatment and follow-up schedule to see if symptoms improve safely.
Hasselt, LimburgAges 18 years+ - NCT04692818Recruiting
3D ultrasound imaging for women with a breast lump
This study tests how well a new 3D ultrasound method can “see” a solid breast lump that is being biopsied. It may help doctors get clearer images to guide diagnosis, especially alongside a standard biopsy.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT04693377Recruiting
Freezing tumor treatment plus targeted radiation for painful bone spread
This study tests whether combining a “freezing” procedure (cryoablation) with focused external radiation (SBRT) can reduce pain from bone metastases. It’s for people with certain cancers that have spread to bone and are having significant pain in a specific bone spot.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04698252RecruitingPhase 2
Local treatment for ER/PR-positive limited spread breast cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether treating a small number of metastatic spots with a local approach (like targeted radiation, surgery, or ablation) can help people with ER/PR-positive breast cancer. It aims to help when the cancer has spread only to a few areas and has not significantly worsened after initial whole-body treatment.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT04702256RecruitingPhase 3
Treating lupus kidney inflammation with or without extra steroid tablets
This trial tests whether adding standard oral steroid tablets to mycophenolate helps lupus nephritis (inflammation of the kidneys) more than using obinutuzumab plus mycophenolate, without extra oral steroids. It may help find a treatment plan that controls active kidney disease while changing how much steroid is used.
ParisAges 14 years+ - NCT04703244Recruiting
Testing patient tumor samples to create research models in breast cancer
This study collects tumor-related samples from people with invasive breast cancer who are having surgery after treatment before surgery. Researchers use your samples to create lab models (called PDX and organoids) to help study breast cancer and find better future treatments.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT04711200RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of special stem cells for severe skin peeling (SJS-TEN)
This early-phase trial tests stem-cell treatment to help people with severe skin reactions called SJS-TEN. It may reduce ongoing skin damage and help recovery when treatment is started soon after symptoms begin.
CréteilAges 18–75 - NCT04714463Recruiting
Study on thoughts and body image during breast reconstruction
This study looks at how people’s expectations and body image feelings may affect experiences after breast reconstruction after mastectomy. It may help doctors understand what kinds of support or counseling could make recovery feel better.
GothenburgAges 18 years+ - NCT04722341Recruiting
Time-limited eating for people with certain breast or rectal cancers
This study tests whether eating only within a shorter daily time window can improve cancer outcomes in people with specific breast or rectal cancers. It also looks at how this affects the body (such as metabolism) and who is most likely to benefit.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT04722692RecruitingPhase 3
Delayed sentinel lymph node biopsy for ductal cancer in situ
This trial tests whether doing a sentinel lymph node biopsy later (after breast surgery) is a safe, accurate way to check if cancer has spread. It uses a special tracking shot that helps find the lymph nodes.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04722978RecruitingPhase 3
Chemo plus moxifloxacin for metastatic triple-negative breast cancer
This trial tests whether adding moxifloxacin (an antibiotic) to standard chemotherapy helps people with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer live longer or respond better. You may qualify if your cancer has the right lab markers and you haven’t had treatment for metastatic disease yet.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT04729543RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
TCR cell therapy for melanoma and head and neck cancer
This early-phase study tests a lab-made T-cell treatment that targets a specific tumor marker (MC2) in melanoma and head and neck cancers. It aims to see if the treatment can safely shrink tumors and control cancer after standard options have run out.
