BREAST CANCER STAGE II

This phase 2 trial tests whether the chemotherapy pill capecitabine can eliminate tiny amounts of cancer DNA still present in the blood after standard treatment for early-stage ER+/HER2- breast cancer. About 15 patients whose blood tests show residual cancer DNA will take capecit…

This pilot study is testing whether a device called TheraBionic P1, which delivers targeted electromagnetic fields, can affect breast cancer tumors before surgery. About 24 women with early-stage, hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer will use the device three ti…

This study looks at how long hormone-blocking therapy given before surgery (neoadjuvant endocrine therapy) affects breast cancer in people with early-stage disease. About 90 participants will receive therapy for different lengths of time, from weeks up to a year. Researchers want…

This phase 2 trial is testing whether giving a short course of radiation (SBRT) and two injections of the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab (Keytruda) before standard chemotherapy can improve outcomes for people with stage 2 or 3 breast cancer. The study aims to see if this combin…

This study is for people with a common type of advanced breast cancer (ER-positive/HER2-negative) that cannot be removed by surgery or has spread. It tests a new drug called FWD1802 combined with other treatments to find the safest dose and see if it shrinks tumors. About 196 par…

This phase 2 trial tests whether drinking tart cherry juice can prevent nerve damage (neuropathy) caused by the chemotherapy drug paclitaxel in breast and ovarian cancer patients. About 86 participants will be randomly assigned to receive either a high or low dose of the juice du…

This study tests whether eating only within an 8-hour window (time-restricted eating) can improve how well cancer treatments work and reduce side effects. It involves 100 Alaska Native and American Indian patients with breast or rectal cancer. Participants will follow the eating …

This study tests whether combining the drug memantine with a structured exercise program can improve memory and thinking problems (often called 'chemo brain') in women with early-stage breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy. Ninety participants will be split into three groups: mem…

This study tests an 8-week virtual rehab program (CaRE@Home) for adults who finished cancer treatment for breast, colorectal, head and neck cancers, or lymphoma within the last two years. The goal is to see if the program reduces disability and improves physical function, anxiety…

This study compares three types of remote medical interpreting for Spanish- and Mandarin-speaking breast cancer patients with limited English proficiency. Researchers will measure how many interpretation errors occur during doctor visits. The goal is to find which method works be…

This pilot study is looking at how the immune system responds in people with early-stage triple negative breast cancer who receive standard chemotherapy plus the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab before surgery. The goal is to see if certain immune markers in the blood or tumor ti…

This study is developing and testing a printed decision aid for women diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer. The tool is designed to help them make informed choices about their treatment. Researchers will compare how well women who receive the aid feel about their decisions ve…

This study looks at whether a web-based tool called CONSYDER can help young women (ages 18-44) newly diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer make more informed decisions about their surgery. Participants will use the tool and complete surveys before and after their surgical cons…
