Recruiting studies in Ohio
- 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.
Columbus, OhioAges 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).
Centerville, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06120283RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new drug for breast cancer and other solid tumors
This trial tests a new oral drug (BGB-43395) alone or with other treatments for people with advanced breast cancer or other solid tumors that depend on CDK4. It aims to find safe doses and see if the drug helps shrink tumors or slow growth.
Columbus, OhioAges 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.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07007559RecruitingPhase 2
Evorpacept with trastuzumab and chemo for HER2-positive breast cancer
This study tests an experimental drug called evorpacept when given with trastuzumab and chemotherapy for people with HER2-positive breast cancer that has spread. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors or slow down the cancer.
Canton, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07699991Recruiting
Support program for breast cancer survivors
This study tests a navigation program to help breast cancer survivors get the support services they need after treatment. It is designed for people treated at the Stefanie Spielman Breast Center who may face extra barriers, such as being older, Black, Hispanic, or living in a rural area.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - 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.
Findlay, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05417308RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Minoxidil for hair loss from breast cancer hormone therapy
This early-phase study tests whether using minoxidil as a lotion (topical) or by mouth (oral) can improve hair loss caused by breast cancer hormone (endocrine) therapy. It may help you keep or regrow hair while continuing your cancer treatment.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06065748RecruitingPhase 3
New hormone therapy for advanced breast cancer after prior treatment
This trial tests a new oral hormone therapy, giredestrant, against a standard hormone therapy (fulvestrant) when both are given with a CDK4/6 inhibitor. It is for people with advanced ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer that has come back after initial hormone therapy, and who have not yet had other treatments for advanced disease.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05467891RecruitingPhase 2
Ribociclib plus hormone therapy for recurrent breast cancer
This trial tests whether adding ribociclib (a targeted pill) to hormone therapy can control breast cancer that has come back in the breast area or nearby lymph nodes/chest wall. It targets hormone-receptor–positive and HER2-negative tumors to help slow disease after local treatment.
Columbus, OhioAges 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.
Akron, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06917313RecruitingPhase 2
Fezolinetant for hot flashes in women with breast cancer on hormone therapy
This trial tests a drug called fezolinetant to see if it reduces hot flashes in women with HR+ breast cancer who are on hormone therapy (like tamoxifen or aromatase inhibitors). You need to be postmenopausal and having at least 7 moderate to severe hot flashes a day.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - 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.
Alliance, OhioAges 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.
Findlay, OhioAges 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.
Akron, OhioAges 40–75 - 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.
Cleveland, OhioAges 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.
Beavercreek, OhioAges 18–50 - NCT06369285RecruitingPhase 2
Alisertib and hormone therapy for advanced breast cancer
This trial tests a new drug, alisertib, combined with hormone therapy for people with HR-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer that has spread or come back and is no longer curable. It may be an option if you've already tried at least two hormone therapies and a CDK4/6 inhibitor.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05535192Recruiting
Telehealth strength exercise to help older women during breast cancer chemo
This study tests whether a supervised at-home (telehealth) strength exercise program can help older women stay strong and keep their chemotherapy on schedule. It’s meant for women who are starting chemotherapy for breast cancer with the goal of cure.
Cleveland, OhioAges 65 years+ - NCT05996107RecruitingPhase 1
Ribociclib with radiation for high-risk HR+ breast cancer
This trial tests whether adding the targeted therapy ribociclib (Kisqali) to radiation after surgery reduces the risk of breast cancer returning in patients with high-risk, hormone-positive breast cancer.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT03452774Recruiting
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.
Cincinnati, OhioAges Any age - NCT03536897Recruiting
Radiation registry after lumpectomy for certain early breast cancers
This study collects information about people with early-stage, hormone-receptor–positive breast cancer who have a lumpectomy and radiation. It may help doctors understand outcomes after this standard treatment and improve care for future patients.
Columbus, OhioAges 65 years+ - NCT03606967RecruitingPhase 2
Individualized vaccine added to standard treatment for metastatic triple-negative breast cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding a personalized cancer vaccine to durvalumab (an immunotherapy), tremelimumab (another immunotherapy), and chemotherapy can improve outcomes for people with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer. It may help your immune system recognize your specific tumor features.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT04022616Recruiting
Study immune cells in breast cancer patients
This study looks at how certain immune cells behave in people with breast cancer. It may help researchers understand the disease and how the immune system affects it.

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.
