Recruiting studies near Sacramento
- NCT03723928Recruiting
Blood test–guided monitoring for metastatic breast cancer treatment
This study checks whether specific blood “tumor marker” levels can help monitor how hormone receptor–positive, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer responds to first-line therapy. It uses regular blood tests (and sometimes scans) to see if this marker-based monitoring is useful and reliable.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04852887RecruitingPhase 3
Testing shorter breast radiation after low-risk hormone breast cancer
This Phase 3 trial studies whether “less intense” radiation can work as well as standard radiation for certain early-stage hormone receptor–positive, HER2-negative breast cancers that have a low Oncotype DX score. It may help reduce treatment burden while keeping cancer control strong.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 50–70 - NCT07391774RecruitingPhase 3
Hormone therapy with or without chemo for early breast cancer
This trial tests whether skipping chemotherapy and using only hormone therapy with a drug called ribociclib works as well as chemotherapy followed by hormone therapy with ribociclib for certain early breast cancers that have a low risk of coming back.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05059444Recruiting
Blood test to catch cancer early after treatment
This study looks for signs of cancer left in the body after treatment using a simple blood test (called a liquid biopsy). It aims to see if the test can catch cancer that might come back earlier than regular scans.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 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.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06268665RecruitingPhase 2
Tart Cherry Juice for Preventing Nerve Damage from Chemotherapy
This study tests whether tart cherry juice can help prevent nerve damage (peripheral neuropathy) caused by the chemotherapy drug paclitaxel. Participants drink tart cherry juice daily during their 12 weeks of paclitaxel treatment.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05160480Enrolling by invitation
Total-body PET scan using FDA-approved tracers for prostate or NET cancer
This pilot study tests a total-body PET scan with approved tracer medicines to help detect cancer spread in people with suspected metastatic prostate cancer or certain neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). You may be able to join if recent scans already suggest metastasis and you can safely complete the scan timing and positioning.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03729115Recruiting
Enhanced breast cancer screening for high-risk women
This study tests a more thorough breast cancer screening program using MRI and other imaging for women at high risk. It aims to detect cancer earlier, which may improve treatment options and outcomes.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 25 years+ - NCT06982521RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing two drug combinations for advanced breast cancer
This trial tests two different combinations of medicines for people with a certain type of advanced breast cancer (HR-positive, HER2-negative) that has a specific gene change called PIK3CA. The goal is to see which combination is better at slowing down the cancer.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05334069Recruiting
Blood test study for early cancer detection in patients
This study collects blood from people with cancer and people without cancer (or with possible cancer) to test whether new blood tests can detect cancer earlier. Your blood samples help researchers evaluate how well these tests work.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 40–75 - NCT01042379RecruitingPhase 2
Adaptive drug trial for newly diagnosed breast cancer
This study tests personalized, changing treatment plans (given before surgery) to find better options for your specific breast tumor. You may be asked for extra breast-tissue testing to help match you with the most suitable study drug(s).
Davis, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06393374RecruitingPhase 3
Study of a new drug combination for residual TNBC after initial treatment
This trial tests a new combination of two drugs (sacituzumab tirumotecan and pembrolizumab) compared to standard chemotherapy for people with triple-negative breast cancer that did not fully respond to initial treatment. It aims to see if this combination helps prevent cancer from coming back.
Roseville, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07174336RecruitingPhase 3
Testing Tersolisib with other treatments for advanced breast cancer
This trial tests a new study drug called Tersolisib combined with other anti-cancer treatments for people with advanced breast cancer that has a specific gene change (PIK3CA). The goal is to see if the combination can help shrink or slow the cancer.
Roseville, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07085767RecruitingPhase 3
Palazestrant and ribociclib for first-line advanced breast cancer
This trial tests a new drug (palazestrant) combined with ribociclib for people with a common type of advanced breast cancer that is estrogen receptor-positive and HER2-negative. You may qualify if you haven't had treatment for advanced disease and your cancer has either just been found or came back long after completing hormone therapy.
Roseville, CaliforniaAges 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.
Stockton, CaliforniaAges 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.

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.
