Recruiting studies in Massachusetts
- NCT04553770RecruitingPhase 2
Trastuzumab deruxtecan with or without anastrozole for early breast cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether trastuzumab deruxtecan alone or combined with anastrozole can control early-stage breast cancer that is HER2-low and hormone-receptor positive. It aims to improve outcomes after initial surgical treatment by targeting cancer cells that may have low levels of HER2.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05950945RecruitingPhase 3
Trastuzumab deruxtecan for HER2-low metastatic breast cancer
This trial tests a targeted antibody-drug medicine (trastuzumab deruxtecan, T-DXd) in people with metastatic breast cancer that is HER2-low or HER2 IHC 0. It may help by treating tumors that haven’t previously received anti-HER2 treatment in the metastatic setting.
Burlington, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05774951RecruitingPhase 3
Camizestrant for hormone-positive, HER2-negative early breast cancer
This trial tests camizestrant, a medicine that blocks estrogen signaling, to help prevent hormone-positive, HER2-negative early breast cancer from coming back. You may be eligible if your cancer has higher- or intermediate-risk features and you already completed at least 2 years of hormone therapy.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–130 - NCT05608252RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Drug combination for advanced ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer
This Phase 1/2 study tests how well a new treatment combination (VS-6766, abemaciclib, and fulvestrant) works for metastatic or hard-to-remove breast cancer that is hormone-driven (ER/PR positive) and HER2 negative. It is mainly designed to find the safest dose and then see whether it can control the cancer after it has progressed on certain prior medicines.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05535192Recruiting

Boston, MassachusettsAges 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+ - 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.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 12 years+ - NCT05304962RecruitingPhase 1
Test drug RGT-419B for advanced ER+ HER2- breast cancer
This Phase 1 study tests a new drug (RGT-419B), given alone or with hormone (endocrine) therapy, in people with advanced ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer that has progressed after standard treatments. It looks mainly at safety and early signs of how well the treatment may work.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05142800Recruiting
Screening for Lymphedema in Breast Cancer Targeted Therapy
This study is looking at whether targeted therapy for breast cancer changes the risk of arm swelling (lymphedema). It is a screening trial that uses a machine to measure arm size and check for any swelling early on.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–80 - NCT04230109RecruitingPhase 2
Sacituzumab Govitecan for newly diagnosed TNBC
This trial tests a drug called sacituzumab govitecan for people with newly diagnosed triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) that hasn't been treated yet. The drug targets cancer cells directly to try to stop them from growing.
Danvers, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04150042RecruitingPhase 1
Test of chemotherapy plus your own stem cells for metastatic cancer
This Phase 1 trial tests a treatment approach using standard chemotherapy along with stem cells taken from you to treat metastatic pancreatic or breast cancer. It is mainly designed to check safety and find the best way to give the treatment, and it may offer an option for people whose cancer has spread.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07524855RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a new drug for metastatic breast cancer
This trial tests an experimental drug called JNJ-101684362 (HLD-0117) for people with metastatic breast cancer that has not responded to other treatments. It may help by targeting cancer cells in a new way, and the study will check if it is safe and effective.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06380751RecruitingPhase 3
New targeted therapy for BRCA/PALB2-mutated HR+ breast cancer
This trial tests a new combination of targeted therapies (saruparib plus camizestrant or hormone therapy) against standard treatments for people with a specific type of advanced breast cancer. It may be a good option if you have a BRCA1, BRCA2, or PALB2 gene mutation and have not yet had treatment for your advanced disease.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05827081RecruitingPhase 3
Ribociclib plus endocrine therapy for early breast cancer
This trial studies whether adding ribociclib to standard hormone (endocrine) therapy lowers the risk of breast cancer coming back in early-stage, hormone-receptor–positive cancer. It mainly looks at safety and how well the treatment controls cancer after surgery and (sometimes) prior hormone treatment.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–100 - NCT04468061RecruitingPhase 2
Study chemo drug plus immunotherapy for metastatic triple-negative breast cancer
This trial tests sacituzumab govitecan (an antibody-drug medicine) with or without pembrolizumab (an immune-system therapy) in people with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer. It may help by shrinking tumors and improving immune control, especially for patients with specific tumor marker results.
Foxborough, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06757634RecruitingPhase 3
A study of gedatolisib for first-line advanced breast cancer
This trial tests a new targeted therapy called gedatolisib for people with HR-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer who have not yet received treatment for metastatic disease. It aims to see if adding this drug to standard hormone therapy can help control the cancer longer.

What taking part in a breast cancer female study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
