- NCT06926868RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Study of a new drug versus chemotherapy for advanced triple-negative breast cancer
This trial tests a new investigational drug called izalontamab brengitecan against standard chemotherapy for people with advanced triple-negative breast cancer who cannot receive immunotherapy. The goal is to see if the new drug works better at shrinking or slowing the cancer.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05111561RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a two-drug combo for RAS-mutant or triple negative breast cancer

Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06638307RecruitingPhase 1
Study of new drug MEN2312 for advanced breast cancer with specific genetic changes
This trial tests a new drug, MEN2312, for people with advanced breast cancer that has specific genetic changes in PIK3CA, AKT1, or PTEN. It's for those who have already tried certain hormone therapies and a CDK4/6 inhibitor combination, and the cancer has continued to grow.

Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05812807RecruitingPhase 3
Pembrolizumab versus monitoring after triple-negative breast cancer response
This trial checks whether giving pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy) after surgery helps people with triple-negative breast cancer reduce the chance of the cancer coming back, compared with close monitoring only. It’s for patients who had no remaining invasive cancer after neoadjuvant chemotherapy plus pembrolizumab.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT02918474Recruiting
Decision tool for mastectomy choices in new breast cancer
This study tests a decision-making tool to help people with newly diagnosed breast cancer make choices about removing the other (opposite) breast as a preventive step. It may help you think through risks and options in a clearer, more structured way.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT00477100Recruiting
Breast cancer tissue and data registry for research
This trial helps create a research “tissue registry” by collecting breast cancer tissue samples and medical information. It may help doctors better understand inflammatory or invasive breast cancer and improve future studies.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07407920RecruitingPhase 2
Optimizing treatment for early HER2+ and triple-negative breast cancer
This trial aims to see if patients who had a complete response to chemo before surgery can safely stop or reduce their targeted therapy afterward. It includes people with early-stage HER2-positive or triple-negative breast cancer who had no cancer cells left in the tissue removed at surgery (a pathological complete response).
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06923527RecruitingPhase 2
Testing ctDNA to start elacestrant in early breast cancer
This trial tests whether the drug elacestrant can help prevent recurrence in people with a type of breast cancer (ER+/HER2-) who have finished hormone therapy and have signs of cancer DNA in their blood (ctDNA positive) but no visible spread on scans.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06172478RecruitingPhase 2
HER3-DXd for advanced solid tumors after prior treatment
This trial tests a new targeted drug called HER3-DXd for people with several types of advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard treatments. The drug is an antibody-drug conjugate, designed to deliver chemotherapy directly to cancer cells that have a protein called HER3 on their surface.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04169542Recruiting
Study on how COVID-19 affected costs for breast surgery patients
This study asks people with breast cancer who are having breast surgery about how COVID-19 affected their out-of-pocket costs, work income, and job stability. Your answers may help improve support for patients during public health emergencies.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04090567RecruitingPhase 2
Olaparib with two partners for advanced BRCA breast cancer
This trial tests whether the drug olaparib works better when combined with cediranib or AZD6738 in people with advanced or metastatic BRCA (inherited) breast cancer. It may help shrink tumors or slow cancer growth after prior treatment with a PARP inhibitor.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06188520RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of a new drug for advanced solid tumors in women
This trial tests a new drug, AZD8421, alone or with other treatments, for women with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to prior therapies. It aims to find a safe dose and see if it can help shrink or control the cancer.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05305924RecruitingPhase 2
Fulvestrant plus abemaciclib for ER+, HER2− advanced breast cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding abemaciclib to fulvestrant can slow or shrink ER-positive, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer. It is mainly for people whose cancer has progressed despite prior treatment with a CDK4/6 inhibitor and an aromatase inhibitor.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06943521RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of MT-4561 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called MT-4561 in people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to prior treatments. It aims to see if the drug can help shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05929768RecruitingPhase 3
Shorter chemo plus immunotherapy without anthracyclines for early TNBC
This Phase 3 trial tests whether a shorter course of chemotherapy plus immunotherapy can work as well as standard treatment for early-stage triple-negative breast cancer. It avoids anthracycline drugs and may help reduce exposure to those medicines if the shorter plan is effective and safe.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT02926690RecruitingPhase 1
MELK inhibitor safety study for advanced breast cancer
This Phase 1 study tests how safe a drug called an MELK inhibitor is in people with advanced breast cancer that has spread or cannot be removed with surgery. If you qualify, the study is focused on side effects and includes a special group for triple-negative breast cancer.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07173751RecruitingPhase 3
Pumitamig for advanced triple-negative breast cancer
This study tests a new drug called pumitamig for people with a type of breast cancer that is triple-negative or has very low hormone receptors and has come back or spread. It aims to see if pumitamig works better than standard treatment and how safe it is for people who cannot get PD(L)-1 immunotherapy with chemo.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06272864Recruiting
A study looking at genetics of certain advanced cancers
This study tests the genes of your cancer to learn more about advanced breast, lung, melanoma, or sarcoma tumors. It may help doctors find better ways to treat these cancers in the future.
Houston, TexasAges 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.

AI matches your cancer tests to possible treatment trials
This trial uses an AI system to help match people with certain cancer types and specific tumor test results (like gene or protein markers) to relevant clinical trials. It may help you and your doctor find studies that fit your cancer biology faster.

What taking part in a breast cancer 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.
