This Phase 2 trial is testing a combination of two drugs—docetaxel (chemotherapy) and trastuzumab (a targeted therapy)—in 53 Nigerian women with HER2-positive breast cancer. The goal is to see how many women have no cancer left after treatment (called a complete response). The st…

This phase 3 trial tests whether adding the drug abemaciclib to standard hormone therapy can lower the chance of breast cancer returning in postmenopausal women with a high-risk type. About 123 participants will receive either hormone therapy alone or with abemaciclib for up to 2…

This phase 3 trial studies whether adding the drug abemaciclib (Verzenios) to standard hormone therapy helps prevent breast cancer from coming back in 1,260 women with high-risk, HR+/HER2- early breast cancer. Participants have already completed initial treatments like surgery or…

This phase 2 trial is testing whether adding the targeted drug pyrotinib to standard chemotherapy and trastuzumab before surgery can eliminate more cancer in women with HER2-positive early breast cancer. About 53 participants will receive the combination, and the main goal is to …

This study tests a new MRI technique called virtual MR elastography (vMRE) that uses standard scans to measure breast tissue stiffness, which can help tell benign from malignant lesions. Researchers will compare vMRE to the traditional MRE method in 238 women with suspicious brea…

This study tests whether contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) finds breast cancer more accurately than standard mammography in women who have already had breast cancer. About 1,647 women ages 30-85 will get both types of mammograms to compare detection rates and false alarms. The …

This large study is testing whether a new laser-based blood test can help screen for breast cancer. Researchers will compare blood samples from women with and without breast cancer to see if the test can accurately spot the disease. If it works, it could offer a less invasive way…

This study tests two different vaccines designed to prevent HER-2 positive breast cancer from coming back in people who have already completed initial treatment. About 119 participants who had surgery after chemotherapy will receive one of the two vaccines, followed by booster sh…

This study aims to develop and test a shortened version of Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) to improve mood in older African American/Black women who have had breast cancer and now have mild to moderate depression. About 23 participants will attend group sessions and re…

This trial asks whether starting sexual health support early and systematically helps women with localized breast cancer feel better about their sexual well-being compared to waiting until they ask for help. Women aged 18 and older who are beginning treatment with surgery will re…

This study tests whether structured hypnotherapy sessions can improve quality of life for women with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy. Participants in the intervention group receive 10 hypnotherapy sessions alongside standard care, while the control group receives standard c…

This study looks at whether a 12-week dance program can reduce pain, fatigue, and improve quality of life in women being treated for breast cancer. Twenty-eight women will either take dance classes twice a week or continue their normal routine. Researchers will measure changes in…

This study tests an internet-based program called SHINE to help breast cancer survivors manage sexual concerns after treatment. About 340 women who finished primary cancer treatment at least 12 weeks ago will join. Participants get online education and tools, and the study checks…

This study tests a mobile game called UMAY that helps breast cancer patients imagine their immune cells attacking cancer cells. 80 women with locally advanced breast cancer will play the game or a placebo game at home alongside their usual chemotherapy. Researchers will measure c…

This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called prolonged continuous theta burst stimulation (pcTBS) to relieve nerve pain caused by chemotherapy in breast cancer patients. Forty women will receive either pcTBS or standard repetitive transcranial magnetic stimu…

This observational study looks at fertility decisions and outcomes in young women diagnosed with breast cancer in China. Researchers will follow women who had no children before their diagnosis to see if they later gave birth, and how often they used fertility preservation method…

This registry follows 94 women aged 50 and older with early-stage, low-risk breast cancer who received a single dose of radiation directly to the tumor site during lumpectomy (IORT). The goal is to monitor cancer recurrence, side effects, and patient satisfaction over time. Becau…

This study looks at why some women disagree with their personal breast cancer risk estimate during mammography screening. Researchers will ask 726 women aged 39-74 about their risk number and whether they want more screening information. The goal is to understand this rejection t…

This study looks at why some women develop hard scar tissue (capsular contracture) around breast implants after mastectomy for breast cancer. Researchers will follow 300 women who had immediate implant-based reconstruction and check their results six months later. The goal is to …

This study follows 100 women with breast or gynecologic cancers to see if their diet before chemotherapy is linked to levels of a protein called hepcidin, and whether hepcidin levels affect how much chemo they can receive. The goal is to understand if eating certain foods might h…
