Watch blood DNA for early breast cancer return, then add palbociclib

ER+ Breast CancerHER2-negative Breast Cancer

Treatments studied

Part of Cancer clinical trials.

This study checks for early signs that ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer may be coming back by testing your blood for cancer DNA. If signs are found, it tests whether adding palbociclib plus fulvestrant works better than standard hormone therapy alone to prevent recurrence.

Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Who can take part

  • You have ER-positive and HER2-negative breast cancer confirmed by a pathology report
  • Your cancer was considered high-risk early stage, or it was treated with certain chemo/endocrine approaches before surgery
  • You have had surgery with clear margins and scans show no visible spread or incurable local disease
  • You are able to provide stored tumor tissue and take frequent blood samples
  • You have been on standard hormone therapy for at least 6 months (up to 7 years) with an extra 3 years planned
  • Your general health labs and heart/lung health are adequate, and you can take oral study medicine safely

NCT06970912Recruiting· Phase 2
ctDNA-Guided Reduced Chemo in HR+/HER2- Breast Cancer

This study is testing whether using a ctDNA blood test can help doctors decide if patients with hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer can safely receive less intensive chemotherapy after surgery. The goal is to reduce side effects while still preventing the cancer from coming back.

Blood test monitoring in early-stage breast cancer

This trial uses a special blood test to track cancer signals (called ctDNA) during and after treatment for early breast cancer. It aims to see whether monitoring these signals can help guide follow-up and treatment decisions.

Test blood-based laser scan to guide first-line breast cancer treatment

This Phase 2 study uses a specialized laser test on a blood sample to predict how well palbociclib plus letrozole or anastrozole will work. It’s for certain postmenopausal women with HER2-negative, hormone-receptor positive, advanced (stage IIIb/IV) breast cancer.

Early detection of breast cancer return using blood tests and scans

This study uses a simple blood test (liquid biopsy) along with imaging scans to look for early signs that triple-negative breast cancer may have returned in patients who still had cancer after chemo. It aims to catch a possible recurrence sooner, which could help guide earlier treatment.

NCT07423611Not yet recruiting· Phase 2
Tailored therapy for early breast cancer using tumor DNA test

This trial tests whether some people with early-stage, hormone-positive breast cancer can safely skip chemotherapy and instead receive a targeted pill (ribociclib) with hormone therapy. A special blood test looks for tiny pieces of tumor DNA to help guide treatment decisions.

Using a blood test to guide breast cancer therapy

This study tests whether a blood test can help decide when to start additional hormone-blocking therapy for early-stage breast cancer. It aims to see if starting therapy only when the test detects cancer DNA is as effective as giving it to everyone.
