Studying breast cancer that spread to the brain
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at genetic material from spinal fluid to better understand breast cancer that has spread to the brain or its lining. It may help doctors find new ways to treat this type of cancer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have breast cancer that has spread to your brain or to the lining of your brain or spinal cord.
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are willing and able to have a lumbar puncture (spinal tap) to collect a sample of fluid for testing.

This study collects spinal fluid samples from people with advanced (metastatic) HER2-positive or triple-negative breast cancer who have never had, and currently do not have, cancer spread to the brain. Researchers want to understand how cancer cells might reach the nervous system and develop better treatments.
This study looks at what factors affect how long people with breast cancer that has spread to the brain live. It uses past medical records to find patterns that may help plan better care.
This trial tests a new drug, NBQ72S, for people with breast cancer that has spread to the lining of the brain or spinal cord (leptomeningeal metastasis). It aims to see if the drug is safe and helpful for these patients.
This trial tests whether regular brain MRI scans can help detect brain metastases early in patients with stage IV breast cancer who do not yet have any known brain metastases. The goal is to see if early detection improves outcomes.
This study is for people with breast cancer that has spread to the lining of the brain or spinal cord (called leptomeningeal metastasis). Researchers want to understand how to treat this condition and offer care to those who qualify.
This study looks at how solid tumors spread to the lining of the brain and spinal cord. It aims to understand this condition better by reviewing patient records.
