This open-label research study is studying (Z)-endoxifen as a possible treatment for pre-menopausal women with ER+/HER2- breast cancer. (Z)-endoxifen belongs to a group of drugs called selective estrogen receptor modulators or "SERM", which help block estrogen from attaching to cancer cells. This study has two parts: a pharmacokinetic part and a treatment part. The PK part (how the body processes the drug) will enroll about 18 participants. All participants will take (Z)-endoxifen capsules daily. Twelve participants will be randomly assigned (50/50 chance) to take (Z)-endoxifen alone or (Z)-endoxifen with a monthly injection of goserelin a drug that temporarily stops the ovaries from making estrogen. This part will help determine the best dose of (Z)-endoxifen by measuring the drug levels in the blood and how long the body takes to remove it. The Treatment Cohort has been simplified to a single study arm (Z)-endoxifen + goserelin. Up to 20 participants will be enrolled that have a baseline Ki-67 ≤ 10% and 45 participants will be enrolled that have a baseline Ki-67\>10%. A key goal of the study is to see if (Z)-endoxifen can slow down or stop tumor growth as measured by a reduction in Ki-67 levels. Tumor tissue samples will be taken by breast biopsy after about 4 weeks of treatment to check levels of this biomarker. If the tumor shows signs of response, participants can continue treatment for up to 24 weeks or until they have surgery. Study participation is up to 6 months (24 weeks of treatment) followed by surgery and a one-month follow up visit.

Trastuzumab-induced cardiotoxicity (TIC) will be monitored in patients with HER2+ breast cancer undergoing trastuzumab treatment before and after breast cancer surgery. At baseline before start of trastuzumab treatment, echocardiography (ECHO)/multigated Acquisition Scan (MUGA) and measurement of plasma NT-proBNP will be performed. NT-proBNP will be measured again at 6 months and at 12 months of trastuzumab treatment. If elevations in NT-proBNP at 6 months and 12 months occur patients will be referred for ECHO/MUGA. The aim is to assess the sensitivity and specificity to detect TIC with NT-proBNP and whether ECHO/MUGA can be safely replaced by assessment of plasma NT-proBNP levels.

The purpose of this open-label, multicenter, phase IIIb, single-arm study is to characterize the efficacy and safety of the combination of ribociclib and standard adjuvant endocrine therapy (ET) on invasive breast cancer-free survival (iBCFS), in a close to clinical practice patient population with HR-positive (HR+), HER2-negative (HER2-), Anatomic Stage Group III, IIB, and a subset of Stage IIA Early Breast Cancer (EBC).

This is a Phase 2 study for patients with resected Stage I-III HER2+ breast cancer with detected molecular residual disease (MRD+) following standard neoadjuvant and locoregional therapy delivered with curative intent. In this study Patients will be treated with neratinib in addition to their standard T-DM1 adjuvant therapy. Neratinib will be administered orally at a dose of 160 mg daily for up to 12 months, or until the time of clinical recurrence, discontinuation due to toxicity, or withdrawal of consent. This study will have two stages, stage 1 would enroll up to 8 participants to clear the Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) and Stage 2 will enroll up to 5 participants. The purpose of this study is to determine if this study population would have a better outcome from adding neratinib to their standard T-DM1 adjuvant therapy.

Evaluate the safety and efficacy of Pyrotinib at different doses in combination with trastuzumab and paclitaxel chemotherapy for first-line treatment of HER2-positive advanced breast cancer.

This is a randomized, open, positive drug control, multi center phase III study. Through the evaluation of tpCR, bpCR, ORR, EFS, IDFS, OS , AEs and other indicators, it proves the effectiveness and safety of TQB2102 for injection versus TCbHP in the neoadjuvant treatment of HER2 positive breast cancer patients.

Despite modern surgical and medical treatments, breast cancer can re-occur and lead 20% of patients to death. During the last 20 years, pre-clinical studies have shown that treatment failures may be due to the presence of a sub-type of cancer cells, the cancer stem cells, which are resistant to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. By chance, doxycycline, an old, inexpensive and safe molecule seems to target effectively these cancer stem cells. This study proposes to check for the clinical efficacy of doxycycline to target the cancer stem cells and improve the response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in ER+/HER2- breast cancers.

Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) positive breast cancer is a molecular subtype with high malignancy and easy recurrence and metastasis. The emergence of HER2 targeted drugs has greatly improved the prognosis and survival of such patients. At present, for HER2 positive breast cancer patients with negative lymph nodes, chemotherapy drugs combined with trastuzumab is the current standard treatment scheme, and in most cases, chemotherapy uses a combination of two drugs, while the main beneficiaries of the trastuzumab and pertuzumab are concentrated in the group of patients with positive lymph nodes. Can targeted therapy be used to reduce the progression of chemotherapy and further achieve efficient and low toxicity strategies. It is planned to explore the efficacy and safety of T1-T2, HER2 positive early breast cancer patients with negative lymph nodes to achieve chemotherapy reduction based on risk stratification.

This study will include two groups of patients: Cohort 1 and Cohort 2. Cohort 1: will help researchers learn how a medicine called imlunestrant (LY3484356) affects a specific type of breast cancer. Some patients will take both imlunestrant and another treatment to suppress their ovarian function. Some will take it without ovarian suppression. Researchers will compare the effects in breast cancer cells to those of another medicine called tamoxifen. All patients in this group will be premenopausal women who have a type of early breast cancer called estrogen receptor-positive, HER2-negative. The treatment in this group will last for up to 29 days. Cohort 2: will help researchers understand how imlunestrant affects the ovaries when it is taken without ovarian suppression. Researchers will compare the effects to those of another medicine called tamoxifen. This group will also include premenopausal women with the same type of breast cancer. The treatment in this group will last for up to 6 months.

Our center plans to conduct a randomized, open-label, parallel-controlled, multi-center phase III study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with Toripalimab for HR+/HER2- breast cancer. The aim is to further explore the treatment strategy of chemotherapy with immunotherapy for patients with HR+/HER2- breast cancer, provide more treatment options for breast cancer patients, and offer a potential theoretical basis for the precision treatment of breast cancer.The primary study objective is to evaluate the pathologic complete response（PCR）and RCB0-1 ratio of neodjuvant treatment of HR+/HER2- breast cancer.

A single-arm, multicenter, real-world observational study of pyrotinib combined with trastuzumab for maintenance therapy after first-line TH (P) therapy for HER2+ABC

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Disitamab Vedotin in combination with Pertuzumab with or without Toripalimab neoadjuvant therapy in patients with HER2-positive breast cancer.

This trial will study a type of advanced breast cancer (ABC) defined as endocrine receptor (ER)-positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2(HER2)-negative and estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1)-mutated. Patients will be treated with elacestrant, a compound that acts as a selective estrogen receptor degrader, and everolimus (or placebo), a kinase inhibitor indicated for the treatment of postmenopausal women with advanced hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer. The main purpose of the study is to analyze the efficacy (to find out how effective a treatment is) of elacestrant plus everolimus therapy in patients who have ER-positive/HER2-negative, ESR1-mutated, ABC progressing to endocrine therapy and cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 (CDK4/6) inhibitor. The efficacy of elacestrant plus everolimus combination will be determined by assessing the period from elacestrant plus everolimus (or placebo) treatment initiation until to the first occurrence of disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, death, or discontinuation from the study treatment for any other reason, whichever occurs first, defined as progression free survival. Rigorous eligibility criteria based on specific co-morbidities and clinicopathologic features of their disease have been designed to minimize the risk of patients participating in this study. The anticipated favorable clinical benefits of elacestrant combined with everolimus are projected to outweigh the risks of this treatment. This study will be performed in full compliance with International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) and all applicable local Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and regulations.

This study aims to utilize a novel biomarker-driven approach to guide neoadjuvant treatment selection. It is the hypothesis that this will improve clinical response for postmenopausal women with clinical stage II/III ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer and identify those who may not require neoadjuvant chemotherapy, with a primary focus on outcomes in Black patients.

Breast cancer (BC) is one of most prevalent malignant tumors in the world. According to the 2020 edition of the global cancer statistics report, the incidence rate of BC has overtaken lung cancer to become the most commonly diagnosed cancer. In the past three decades, survival of patients with primary BC have been notably improved, mainly due to early detection of the disease and advances in adjuvant treatments such as endocrine therapy, chemotherapy, and anti-HER2 therapy. Patients with HR-positive and HER2-negative primary BC account for approximately 70% of all cases of early breast cancer. Endocrine therapy is the core treatment for this subtype of BC. Tamoxifen, aromatase inhibitor or their sequential administration can reduce the recurrence and mortality of this BC subtype. The results of TEXT/SOFT study showed that, compared with the traditional 5-year tamoxifen treatment, tamoxifen + OFS or aromatase inhibitor + OFS can further improve the survival of HR+/HER2- breast cancer patients. However, for premenopausal BC patients with HR+/HER2-, only 82.5% (tamoxifen plus OFS) and 85.7% (aromatase inhibitor plus OFS) of 5-year DFS were achieved. For postmenopausal BC patients, the 5-year DFS was only about 84% with aromatase inhibitors. Therefore, the survival of HR+/ HER2- BC patients needs to be further improved. Metronomic chemotherapy refers to the use of the minimum effective dose of chemotherapy drugs for long-term, uninterrupted administration to achieve anti-tumor effect. Metronomic chemotherapy has gradually been verified in clinical practice in the past 20 years. In 2020, SYSUCC-001 study has confirmed that capecitabine (650 mg/ m2 bid, for 1 years) can reduce the risk of 5-year DFS events by 36% in TNBC patients in addition to standard treatment. Besides, POTENT study has confirmed that the combination of endocrine therapy and S-1 (for one year) can further reduce the risk of iDFS by 37% in HR+/HER2- BC patients who have completed the standard treatment. Compared with capecitabine, S-1 has no indication for BC and it is not in the recommendation for BC treatment in the guidelines. Therefore, the investigators conduct this study to explore whether adjuvant Capecitabine metronomic chemotherapy for one year can further improve the survival of BC patients with HR+/ HER2- in addition to standard treatment.

The purpose of the study is to see if using an investigational drug called \[18F\]FMISO with PET/MRI imaging can help monitor and predict the effect of trastuzumab (Herceptin) on chemotherapy in patients diagnosed with advanced HER2 positive breast cancer. This study is for imaging purposes only and is not a treatment study. The results of this study will not change a patient's clinical treatment plan but it may help physicians and researchers better understand how best to treat patients with breast cancer in the future.

This randomized, controlled, open-label, multicenter study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of KN026 in combination with HB1801 ± Carboplatin as neoadjuvant therapy in patients with early or locally advanced HER2-positive breast cancer.

The UNITY study is a prospective, single-arm, single-center, Phase II clinical trial conducted by Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center. It aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Trastuzumab Deruxtecan (T-DXd) combined with ivonescimab in patients with hormone receptor-positive (HR+), HER2-negative recurrent or metastatic breast cancer. Approximately 53 patients will be enrolled. Eligible participants must have histologically confirmed advanced HR-positive breast cancer with HER2-low or HER2-ultralow expression. They must have experienced recurrence, metastasis, or disease progression after prior treatment with a CDK4/6 inhibitor (including in the adjuvant setting) and have received at most one line of systemic chemotherapy for advanced disease. The study permits the enrollment of patients with central nervous system (CNS) metastases. The primary endpoint is the Overall Response Rate (ORR). Key secondary endpoints include Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR), Overall Survival (OS), Progression-Free Survival (PFS), safety, and patient-reported quality of life (assessed using EORTC QLQ-C30 and QLQ-BR23). Exploratory endpoints will involve the analysis of biomarkers from tumor and blood samples, as well as PAM50 molecular subtyping and its correlation with survival outcomes. This study seeks to explore the efficacy and safety of Trastuzumab Deruxtecan in combination with ivonescimab for patients with HR-positive, HER2-negative recurrent or metastatic breast cancer, with a particular focus on the subpopulation with CNS metastases.

Both groups will receive prophylactic loperamide according to the FDA-recommended dosing schedule for neratinib-associated diarrhea. Primary Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of probiotics in reducing the incidence and severity of diarrhea in patients receiving Neratinib. Secondary Objectives: This study will also investigate the effects of probiotics on gut microbiota composition and their potential impact on drug efficacy. Study Duration: Enrollment is planned from August 2025 to June 2027 at Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hospital, Sun Yat-Sen University. Both the intervention and control groups will receive treatment for a total of six weeks (two cycles of three weeks each). No post-treatment observation period is included. Eligibility Criteria: Participants must be diagnosed with HER2-positive breast cancer and scheduled to receive Neratinib. Exclusion criteria include patients with severe gastrointestinal disorders or recent probiotic consumption.

This study is a single-center, phase II clinical trial. Patients with HER2-positive advanced breast and extramammary Paget's disease who met the eligibility criteria were enrolled after signing an informed consent form. All patients received treatment with 2mg/kg of trastuzumab deruxtecan intravenous infusion every 3 weeks until disease progression. Follow-up was conducted until disease progression, withdrawal of informed consent by the subject, loss to follow-up, or death. Clinical tumor imaging assessments were performed using RECIST during the treatment process.

This is an open label, phase II study evaluating the efficacy and safety of trastuzumab combined with oral chemotherapy or endocrine therapy in patients with HER-2 positive stage I breast cancer.

This single arm study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a non-surgical approach, consisting of radiotherapy (RT) alone, for patients who have achieved a complete pathological response (pCR) following neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT). The study design involves the histological confirmation of pCR using vacuum-assisted biopsy (VABB) or vacuum-assisted excision (VAE) guided by ultrasound. The primary objective is to demonstrate that the non-surgical, RT-only treatment and follow-up approach is not inferior to the traditional surgical approach in patients with pCR after NACT.

The purpose of this study is to test if four different programs (prolonged overnighting fasting alone, exercise alone, a combination of prolonged overnight fasting and exercise, or general health education sessions alone) can reduce fatigue in women with advanced or metastatic breast cancer who are receiving a medication called a cyclin-dependent kinases-4 and 6 (CDK4/6) inhibitor (e.g., palbociclib, ribociclib, or abemaciclib), with or without HER2-directed therapy (e.g., trastuzumab ± pertuzumab), or in combination with both a CDK4/6 inhibitor and a PI3K inhibitor, within the past 90 days.

This is a Phase 1/1b open-label, multi-center dose escalation and dose optimization study designed to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of IAM1363 in participants with advanced cancers that harbor HER2 alterations.
