Blood test to monitor treatment response in triple-negative breast cancer
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial is testing whether a blood test can track how well chemotherapy is working in people with early-stage triple-negative breast cancer. You would provide blood samples before and during treatment, and the results may help your doctor understand your response better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), which means your cancer cells don't have receptors for estrogen, progesterone, or too much HER2.
- Your breast cancer is at an early stage (stage I, II, or III) and you are about to start chemotherapy before surgery (called neoadjuvant treatment).
- You are at least 18 years old.
- You are willing to give blood samples before and during your treatment.
- You have a tissue sample (biopsy) from your tumor available for testing.
- You have not started any treatment for this breast cancer yet (like chemotherapy or other drugs).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial studies how a blood inflammation marker (CRP) changes after starting immunotherapy plus chemotherapy in people with triple-negative breast cancer. Results may help doctors predict who benefits from treatment and when.
This study is for people with early-stage triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) that has not been treated yet. Researchers want to see if tracking tumor DNA in your blood can help guide treatment decisions. You would receive standard chemotherapy and surgery, plus give blood samples.
This trial is testing whether checking DNA from your blood (circulating tumor DNA) can help doctors choose the best neoadjuvant (pre-surgery) treatment for HER2-positive or triple-negative breast cancer. It aims to personalize therapy based on how your tumor responds.
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.
This study is testing a research tool that may help doctors choose the best treatment for people with advanced triple-negative breast cancer. You will have a biopsy and blood draw to help see how the tool works.
This trial uses a simple blood test (liquid biopsy) and imaging to look for early signs that triple-negative breast cancer has returned after treatment. It is for people who had stage II or III cancer, went through chemotherapy before surgery, and still had cancer left after surgery.
