Collecting Samples and Data for Recurrent or Metastatic Breast Cancer
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study collects tissue samples and health information from people with breast cancer that has spread or come back. It aims to help researchers learn more about the disease and may lead to better treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a woman with invasive breast cancer that has spread or come back, or a man with breast cancer confirmed by biopsy.
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You must be able to understand and sign a consent form.
- You cannot have dementia, serious mental health issues, or a life-threatening allergy to numbing medicines used for biopsies.
- Your doctor must agree that it's safe for you to have a biopsy for this study.

This study looks at how the biology of breast cancer might change when it comes back (recurrence) after initial treatment. By comparing samples from the first diagnosis and the recurrence, doctors hope to better understand how to treat future recurrences.
This study looks at blood and tumor tissue to find signs (markers) that can help diagnose or better understand metastatic cancer. You may be able to join if you’re getting surgery or a biopsy to remove a tumor and there’s a safe way to collect samples.
This study collects tissue and/or blood samples from people with breast cancer to help future research. It may be useful if you’re already having surgery or another procedure as part of your treatment plan.
This study invites women who finished treatment for non-metastatic invasive breast cancer to share health information and biological samples for future research. It may help scientists understand survivorship and improve care after treatment.
This study is testing whether it is safe and practical to take multiple small tissue samples (biopsies) from different sites of your breast cancer over time. The goal is to learn how breast cancer changes as it grows, which could help doctors develop better treatments.
This study looks at tumor “clues” by using tissue and blood samples in people with metastatic breast cancer (with specific subtype). It aims to better understand what drives the cancer, which may help guide future treatments.
