Collierville, TennesseeAges Any age - 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.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT03418961RecruitingPhase 3
Study of heart-risk management for metastatic HER2 breast cancer
This trial follows people with metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer who are at higher risk for heart damage while on HER2-targeted therapy. Some participants are randomly assigned to different monitoring/heart-protection approaches to see what best helps keep the heart safe.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 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.
Germantown, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT07182149RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new drug for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called NRM-823 for people with several types of advanced cancer that have stopped responding to standard treatments. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and how well it works.

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.
