Recruiting studies near Pittsburgh
- NCT05877599RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a new treatment for advanced cancers with a specific gene change
This trial tests a new type of therapy (NT-175) for people with certain advanced cancers that have a specific genetic change. It might help if your tumor has the TP53 R175H mutation and you have the HLA-A*02:01 immune marker.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05879926RecruitingPhase 3
Testing chemo after hormone therapy in premenopausal early breast cancer
This Phase 3 trial checks whether adding chemotherapy after standard hormone-blocking treatment works better for some premenopausal women with early-stage, ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer. It targets patients with limited lymph node spread and a lower-to-intermediate tumor “recurrence” risk score.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–60 - NCT05633654RecruitingPhase 3
Test drug combo versus standard care for triple-negative breast cancer
This trial tests a cancer antibody-drug combination plus pembrolizumab (immunotherapy) versus standard treatment. It’s for people with triple-negative breast cancer that still has invasive disease in the breast or lymph nodes after surgery and chemotherapy before surgery.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07214532Recruiting
Using a blood test to guide breast cancer therapy
This study tests whether a blood test can help decide when to start additional hormone-blocking therapy for early-stage breast cancer. It aims to see if starting therapy only when the test detects cancer DNA is as effective as giving it to everyone.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06058377RecruitingPhase 3
Adding immunotherapy to chemo for stage II-III breast cancer
This trial tests whether adding the immunotherapy drug durvalumab to standard chemotherapy works better than chemo alone for people with hormone receptor positive, HER2 negative breast cancer that is stage II or III and has a high-risk genetic score (MammaPrint High Risk 2).
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07115043RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of AZD6750 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called AZD6750 for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06401421Recruiting
Blood test for tumor DNA after breast cancer chemo
This study tests a new blood test to see if it can find tiny bits of tumor DNA after chemotherapy. If you have a larger or higher-risk breast cancer and are getting chemotherapy before surgery, you may join. The test could help doctors know if your cancer is gone or if more treatment is needed.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06748222RecruitingPhase 3
Online mindfulness program for breast cancer survivors
This trial tests a 6-week online mindfulness program to help breast cancer survivors manage mild to moderate depression. You may qualify if you finished active treatment within the last 5 years and can use a digital device.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–50 - NCT06876714RecruitingPhase 3
Shorter vs Longer HER2 Therapy for Breast Cancer with Complete Response
This trial compares 6 months versus 12 months of HER2-targeted therapy for people with HER2+ breast cancer who had a complete response after chemo and trastuzumab. The goal is to see if a shorter treatment is just as effective.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07059884Recruiting
Exercise program to help people with cancer stay active
This trial tests a distance-based exercise program designed to help people on chemotherapy maintain their physical function and prevent disability. It is for patients with certain cancers who are working full-time and can participate in moderate physical activity.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07541079RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a New Breast Cancer Drug for Women Who Can't Tolerate Current Therapy
This study tests giredestrant, a new hormone-blocking medication, in postmenopausal women with early-stage ER+ breast cancer who have experienced intolerable side effects from their current aromatase inhibitor therapy. The trial will measure how well you tolerate this new drug and how it affects your quality of life.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07262138Recruiting
Active monitoring for older women with early breast cancer
This trial studies whether active monitoring (watchful waiting) can be a safe option instead of immediate surgery or other treatments for women 70 and older who have a small, slow-growing type of breast cancer. If you join, you will not have surgery or other treatments right away, but your cancer will be closely watched.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 70 years+ - NCT06618287RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing BMS-986507 for advanced lung and breast cancers
This study tests a new drug called BMS-986507, given in different combinations, for people with advanced solid tumors (lung cancer or breast cancer that has spread). It looks at safety, how the drug works in the body, and if it helps shrink tumors.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 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.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–130 - 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.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07704476Recruiting
Protein supplement after breast cancer treatment
This study tests whether taking a protein supplement plus resistance training can help improve muscle and body composition after breast cancer treatment. It could be for you if you have finished active breast cancer treatment and have been doing strength training for at least 3 months.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 20–89 - NCT06774963RecruitingPhase 1
Study of LNCB74 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called LNCB74 for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to other treatments. It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 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.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07332975Recruiting
Blood test for tumor DNA in early triple-negative breast cancer
This study is for people with early-stage triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) that has not been treated yet. Researchers want to see if tracking tumor DNA in your blood can help guide treatment decisions. You would receive standard chemotherapy and surgery, plus give blood samples.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 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.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–100 - NCT06790693RecruitingPhase 3
Inavolisib plus hormone therapy for advanced breast cancer
This trial tests a new targeted therapy, inavolisib, combined with standard hormone therapy and a CDK4/6 inhibitor for people with a specific genetic mutation (PIK3CA) in their hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer that has not been treated before. It compares this combination to a placebo plus the same standard treatments.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT01042548Recruiting
Testing blood and tissue markers in breast surgery patients
This study looks at proteins and imaging patterns (from tissue, fluid near the tumor, and blood) to better understand breast cancer markers. It may help researchers find clues that doctors can use to evaluate breast nodules and newly diagnosed invasive breast cancer.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06022029RecruitingPhase 1
Study of injected ONM-501 alone or with cemiplimab for advanced cancers
This trial tests an injected study drug (ONM-501) alone or with another drug (cemiplimab) for people with advanced solid tumors or lymphomas that haven't responded to other treatments. It aims to find a safe dose and see if the combination helps shrink or control the cancer.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03424005RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing new drug combinations for advanced breast cancer
This study tests how well and how safely different combinations of cancer drugs work for people with metastatic or inoperable locally advanced breast cancer. It may help by finding a better treatment option and collecting information to guide future care.

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.
