Recruiting studies near San Diego
- NCT06997029RecruitingPhase 1
Study of BMS-986500 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called BMS-986500, alone or with other treatments, for people with advanced solid tumors that cannot be removed by surgery or have spread. It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - 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.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07227233RecruitingPhase 2
AI-guided retrial of CDK4/6 inhibitors for advanced breast cancer
This trial tests whether an artificial intelligence (AI) tool can help doctors decide if it is safe and effective to give you a second course of a CDK4/6 inhibitor drug (like palbociclib, ribociclib, or abemaciclib) plus hormone therapy for advanced (unresectable or metastatic) HR+/HER2- breast cancer. The goal is to only treat people whose cancer is likely to respond based on a special AI analysis of their tumor tissue.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07087691Recruiting
Testing a device to mark breast cancer for surgery and monitoring
This trial tests a device called OneMark that helps doctors find and track breast cancer during surgery and follow-up. It may help make sure the cancer is removed completely.
La Jolla, 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.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 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.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04981119Recruiting
Test apheresis for CAR T manufacturing in HLA-A2 solid tumors
This trial studies how a process called apheresis is used to make CAR T cells for people with certain solid tumors. It is designed for tumors that have lost a specific immune marker (HLA-A*02), which may affect how well CAR T therapies work.
La Jolla, 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.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06492616RecruitingPhase 3
Elacestrant vs standard hormone therapy for high-risk early breast cancer
This trial tests a new hormone therapy pill (elacestrant) against standard hormone therapy for people with a common type of early breast cancer (ER+, HER2-) that has a higher chance of returning. You may qualify if you've already been on hormone therapy for 2 to 5 years and want to see if a different pill works better.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 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.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07216105RecruitingPhase 1
FT836 immune cell therapy for advanced solid tumors
This study tests a new immune cell therapy called FT836, given alone or with chemotherapy or other antibodies, for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to previous treatments. The goal is to see if it is safe and helps shrink or control tumors.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06545942RecruitingPhase 1
Studying MOMA-313 for advanced or metastatic solid tumors
This trial tests a new oral drug, MOMA-313, alone or with another drug (olaparib), in people whose cancer has a specific DNA repair problem (HR-deficient mutation). It aims to see if the drug can shrink tumors or slow their growth.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03448926Recruiting
DCIS test registry to guide radiation and drug decisions
This study collects information from people with breast ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) to see how a specific lab test (DCISionRT) may help predict who benefits from radiation and/or certain medications. Your results and clinical details are gathered during routine care, not necessarily to change treatment right away.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 30–85 - NCT06763328RecruitingPhase 3
Metformin for insulin resistance after breast cancer chemo
This study tests if metformin, a common diabetes medicine, can help reduce insulin resistance in women who finished chemotherapy for early-stage breast cancer. It aims to improve long-term health and prevent future problems.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - 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.

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.
