Recruiting studies in New Jersey
- NCT07040891Recruiting
Testing a program to boost breast cancer trial talks
This study is testing a program called 'Just ASK' that helps cancer care teams talk to patients about clinical trials. The researchers want to see if the program increases how often patients discuss and consider joining a breast cancer trial.
Plainsboro, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07042581RecruitingPhase 4
Revaree Plus for vaginal dryness in breast cancer survivors
This trial tests a vaginal insert called Revaree Plus to see if it helps breast cancer survivors who have vaginal dryness or pain from hormone therapy. It may be a good option if you are on an aromatase inhibitor or tamoxifen and have discomfort.
Montvale, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07053085RecruitingPhase 2
Surgery or radiation for stable HER2+ breast cancer spread
This study tests whether combining surgery or strong focused radiation with standard treatment can help people whose HER2-positive breast cancer has spread to a few spots (5 or fewer) in the body, but not the brain. It's for patients whose cancer is stable after at least 3 months of first-line therapy.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07076485RecruitingPhase 2
Shorter radiation after surgery for node-positive breast cancer
This trial tests shorter radiation schedules for people with breast cancer that has spread to lymph nodes or is high-risk. It aims to find a shorter course of radiation that is just as effective after surgery.
Voorhees Township, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07211178Recruiting
Tracking cancer DNA in blood to detect early return of breast cancer
This study tracks tiny traces of cancer DNA in the blood over time to see if it can find early signs of breast cancer coming back. It looks at different types of breast cancer and at different points in a patient's treatment journey.
Florham Park, New JerseyAges 18–99 - NCT07218250Recruiting
Single counseling session for breast cancer distress
This trial tests whether one counseling session can reduce depression, anxiety, and distress in people with breast cancer. You would talk privately with a counselor and be audio-recorded.
Montvale, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05412225RecruitingPhase 1
Pre-surgery radiation, then mastectomy and immediate breast reconstruction
This Phase 1 study looks at giving radiation before surgery for people with locally advanced breast cancer, then performing a mastectomy and immediate reconstruction. It aims to see whether this combined approach can shrink the cancer before surgery and safely allow reconstruction afterward.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07311993RecruitingPhase 1
Study of CLR 125 for triple negative breast cancer
This trial tests an experimental drug called CLR 125 in people with triple negative breast cancer that has worsened after at least one prior treatment. It aims to see if the drug is safe and how it affects the cancer.
Princeton, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - 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).
New Brunswick, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT02945579Recruiting
Testing skipping breast surgery or radiation for top responders
This trial studies whether some people with early-stage breast cancer who respond extremely well to hormone/chemo/targeted treatment can safely skip breast surgery and/or radiation. It aims to reduce side effects without increasing cancer risk in carefully selected patients.
Voorhees Township, New JerseyAges 30 years+ - NCT07459673RecruitingPhase 2
HER2-positive breast cancer trial using ctDNA to guide treatment
This trial tests a personalized treatment plan for HER2-positive breast cancer that has spread. It uses a blood test to track cancer DNA and adjust therapy, including treatments that may help prevent cancer from reaching the brain. The goal is to achieve long-term remission.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07483307RecruitingPhase 2
Hormone therapy before surgery for lobular breast cancer
This trial tests whether taking hormone therapy before surgery can improve outcomes for women with a specific type of breast cancer called lobular breast cancer. If you qualify, you would receive endocrine therapy for 6 months before your planned breast-conserving surgery.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 50 years+ - NCT05716893RecruitingPhase 2
Aerobic exercise program for people getting breast cancer treatment
This Phase 2 study tests whether a supervised aerobic (cardio) training program can improve health and exercise capacity for people receiving treatment for primary breast cancer. You may join if you currently do very little moderate-to-vigorous exercise and can safely complete a special treadmill test that measures breathing and heart response.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 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.
Camden, New JerseyAges 18–100 - 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.
Hackensack, New JerseyAges 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.
East Brunswick, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05256745RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
A medicine to protect the heart during breast cancer chemotherapy
This early-phase study tests azeliragon to lower the risk of chemotherapy-related heart damage in women with early-stage breast cancer. Participants get their planned standard chemotherapy, plus the study medicine, and are monitored for safety and heart health.
Hackensack, New JerseyAges 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.
Camden, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05894239RecruitingPhase 3
Tested targeted drug for HER2-positive breast cancer with PIK3CA changes
This Phase 3 study tests inavolisib plus Phesgo versus placebo plus Phesgo in people whose breast cancer has both HER2-positive and PIK3CA-mutated tumor markers. The goal is to see if adding inavolisib improves how well the treatment controls the cancer and how safe it is.
Hackensack, New JerseyAges 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.
Hackensack, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06728579RecruitingPhase 2
Group therapy for joint pain in breast cancer survivors
This study tests two supportive group programs—one using mindfulness skills, the other providing supportive talk therapy—to help breast cancer survivors manage joint pain caused by hormone-blocking pills. If you have ongoing joint pain and are taking an aromatase inhibitor, you may be able to join a free, video-based group.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07294703Recruiting

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.
