Rochester, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04965766RecruitingPhase 2
Study drug for HER2-negative, advanced breast cancer after prior treatment
This Phase 2 trial tests patritumab deruxtecan (U3-1402) in people with HER2-negative, hormone-receptor positive (HR+) breast cancer that cannot be removed by surgery or has spread. It’s for cancers that have progressed despite endocrine therapy plus a CDK4/6 inhibitor, aiming to shrink tumors and control the disease.
DijonAges 18 years+ - NCT05029999RecruitingPhase 1
Test drugs for HER2-negative advanced breast cancer
This Phase 1 trial tests a combination of immune-targeting drugs (a CD40 medicine and a substance that helps immune cells act) plus chemotherapy in people with HER2-negative advanced breast cancer that has progressed. It aims to find a safer dose and see whether the treatment can shrink tumors or slow the cancer.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–99 - NCT05033691Recruiting
Osimertinib plus early brain radiation versus osimertinib alone
This trial tests whether starting focused radiation to brain spots early (called SRS) along with osimertinib works better than taking osimertinib alone. It is for people with lung cancer that has an EGFR mutation and has not yet caused major brain symptoms.
JerusalemAges 18–120 - NCT05035745RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Selinexor plus talazoparib for advanced triple-negative breast cancer
This trial tests selinexor plus talazoparib in people with advanced, treatment-resistant solid tumors and, separately, advanced triple-negative breast cancer. It aims to see whether this combination can shrink tumors or slow their growth when standard options have not worked.
SingaporeAges 18–99 - NCT05092373RecruitingPhase 1
Tumor treating device plus targeted or immune drugs for advanced cancers
This Phase 1 study tests whether a tumor treating fields device works better when added to standard cancer drugs. It may help people with advanced solid tumors in the chest or belly, especially when standard treatment didn’t work or can’t be tolerated.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05095207RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Abemaciclib and bicalutamide for HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer
This Phase 1/2 trial tests whether combining abemaciclib with bicalutamide can slow or shrink HER2-negative, androgen receptor–positive (AR-positive) metastatic breast cancer. It mainly looks at safety and side effects, and also whether the combination can help patients with this type of breast cancer.
New York, New YorkAges 18–90 - NCT05115474RecruitingPhase 2
Screening brain MRI study for stage IV breast cancer
This trial checks whether taking screening brain MRI scans in people with stage IV breast cancer helps find brain involvement earlier. It may help guide treatment decisions for those who would otherwise only get brain imaging after symptoms start.
Clearwater, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05372640RecruitingPhase 1
Drug combo trial for rare cancers with shared NUT features
This Phase 1 trial tests the safety and early signs of effectiveness of combining two anti-cancer drugs (ZEN003694 and abemaciclib) in teens and adults with metastatic or unresectable NUT carcinoma, breast cancer, and other solid tumors. It may help by finding a safer dose and whether the drug combination can shrink or control tumors that do not respond to standard treatments.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 12 years+ - NCT05377047Recruiting
Targeted radiation for limited recurrent breast cancer spread
This trial tests whether a precise form of high-dose radiation can control up to 1–5 breast cancer metastases (spread) in a few body areas. It may help by focusing treatment only on visible spots while limiting radiation to the rest of the body.
Gothenburg, Västra GötalandsregionenAges 18 years+ - NCT05386108RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Test abemaciclib plus elacestrant for breast cancer brain spread
This trial studies whether the combination of abemaciclib and elacestrant can slow or shrink ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer that has spread to the brain. It is designed for people whose cancer has progressed despite prior hormone (endocrine) treatment.
Fullerton, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05422794RecruitingPhase 1
Adding a new drug plus pembrolizumab to standard chemo for TNBC
This trial studies whether adding a new anti-cancer drug (ZEN-3694) and the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab to standard chemotherapy (nab-paclitaxel) can work better for advanced triple-negative breast cancer. It’s testing safety first (Phase 1) and, for some patients, how well the treatment controls the cancer.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05430399RecruitingPhase 3
Utidelone vs docetaxel for HER2-negative breast cancer
This trial compares utidelone with docetaxel in people with HER2-negative advanced or metastatic breast cancer. It aims to see which treatment works better and is safer for controlling the cancer and helping patients live longer.
Guangzhou, GangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT05455619RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Targeted drugs for PI3K-altered, HR+/HER2- breast cancer
This Phase 1/2 trial tests how well a combination of targeted medicines works for advanced or returning HR+/HER2- breast cancer that has a PI3K pathway change (such as PIK3CA, PTEN, or AKT1). It may help by blocking growth signals in the cancer and is especially for people whose cancer has progressed after hormone therapy and a CDK4/6 inhibitor.
Loma Linda, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05468034Recruiting
Exercise program for metastatic breast cancer using a phone
This trial studies how a supervised exercise program (with treadmill walking and phone tracking) affects people living with metastatic breast cancer. It may help by improving fitness and day-to-day ability, especially if you’re currently not meeting regular exercise goals.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT05483491RecruitingPhase 1
TCR cell therapy for select metastatic cancers
This Phase 1 trial tests a personalized immune-cell treatment (TCR-T cells) for certain metastatic cancers. It targets cancers that carry a specific marker and requires patients to have a specific immune-system match, aiming to improve cancer control when standard options were already tried.
New Brunswick, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05491226RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab plus radiation and myeloid-targeting for high-risk breast cancer
This trial studies whether adding pembrolizumab (an immune “unlocking” drug) to radiation and another treatment that targets certain immune cells can improve outcomes for women with high-risk, early-stage triple negative breast cancer. You may be considered if your cancer has signs that it may respond less to immunotherapy on its own.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05535413RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
UTD1 plus capecitabine for HER2-negative breast cancer brain mets
This trial tests whether adding a study drug called UTD1 to capecitabine can shrink or control breast cancer that has spread to the brain. It’s for people with HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer who have brain metastases and meet specific safety and lab requirements.
ChangshaAges 18–70 - NCT05554302RecruitingPhase 2
PET scan study for brain metastases after surgery
