Using a blood test to guide breast cancer therapy
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.

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 trial tests whether using a blood test for tumor DNA can help doctors decide the best treatment for people with HER2-negative breast cancer that has spread. It focuses on a type of therapy called an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) and aims to personalize your care.
This trial tests whether a blood test (ctDNA) can help doctors monitor how well chemotherapy before surgery is working in women with HER2-positive breast cancer. It aims to see if changes in the blood can predict treatment success.
This trial checks if switching hormone therapy when ctDNA levels rise can help women with ER+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer. ctDNA is a tumor signal found in blood that may show early signs of resistance before scans do.
This trial tests whether a blood test for ctDNA (cancer DNA fragments) can help doctors decide if standard chemotherapy plus an immunotherapy drug is working for people with advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer. It may help tailor your treatment based on how the cancer responds.
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.
