The goal is to see if this combination can help shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT05108298Recruiting
Study to improve cancer survey reporting for young adults
This study focuses on collecting better self-reported information (from questionnaires) from young adults with cancer. It may help improve how future cancer trials understand symptoms and quality-of-life needs.
Bristol, TennesseeAges 18–39 - NCT04606446RecruitingPhase 2
Study drug for ER-positive, HER2-negative cancers after treatment
This Phase 2 study tests a new Pfizer medicine (PF-07248144) for certain advanced or metastatic breast, prostate, or lung cancers that have not responded to standard treatment or no standard options exist. You may qualify if you have a specific tumor type and a limited number of prior cancer treatments, and if your body functions (blood, liver, kidneys) and heart rhythm meet safety limits.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT07361562RecruitingPhase 1
Study of CGT4255 for advanced solid tumors with HER2 changes
This trial tests an oral drug called CGT4255 for people with advanced solid tumors that have certain changes in the HER2 gene or related proteins. It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT07046923RecruitingPhase 1
A study of LY4175408 for advanced cancer
This trial tests a new targeted drug (LY4175408) for people with certain advanced solid tumors (lung, endometrial, or triple negative breast cancer) who have already tried standard treatments. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and effective.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT07357597RecruitingPhase 4
Preventing mouth sores during breast or lung cancer treatment
This trial tests whether a steroid mouthwash can prevent mouth sores caused by the drug Datopotamab Deruxtecan (Dato-DXd). It is for people with certain types of advanced breast cancer or lung cancer who are about to start Dato-DXd for the first time.
Knoxville, TennesseeAges 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.
Germantown, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT05232916RecruitingPhase 3
Vaccine for HER2-positive breast cancer after standard treatment
This trial tests a vaccine (GLSI-100) that may help prevent the return of HER2-positive breast cancer. It is given to patients who still had cancer cells after initial treatment with trastuzumab, or who had stage III disease and achieved a complete response.
Knoxville, TennesseeAges 18–100 - NCT03053193Recruiting
Testing gene activity to guide breast cancer treatment
This study links breast tumor test results from MammaPrint and optional BluePrint (and full genetic data) with real-world clinical information to understand which new gene activity patterns matter. It may help future patients by improving how doctors use these tests to guide care.
Germantown, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT05693766RecruitingPhase 2
Gene test guides treatment for hormone-positive breast cancer
This trial studies whether a gene-signature test can help guide treatment choices for people with hormone receptor–positive (ER and/or PR) breast cancer that has spread or can’t be fully removed. It may help find the best therapy approach after prior hormone therapy and targeted cancer medicine.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT05768139RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a new targeted drug for advanced solid tumors with PI3Kα mutation
This trial tests tersolisib, a new targeted medicine, in adults with advanced or hard-to-remove solid cancers. It focuses on tumors that have a specific genetic change (PI3Kα mutation) to see how well the treatment works and what side effects it causes.
Germantown, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT06377852RecruitingPhase 3
Dosing study for older adults with advanced breast cancer
This trial studies how well different doses of CDK4/6 inhibitors (palbociclib or ribociclib) work in people aged 65 or older with HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer. It aims to find the best starting dose to balance effectiveness and side effects.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 65 years+ - NCT03050268Recruiting
Study of childhood cancer risk in families
This study looks at inherited (family) risk for childhood cancers, including families with early cancers or known cancer risk conditions. It may help researchers understand why some children get cancer and improve future risk detection and care.
Memphis, TennesseeAges Any age - NCT06418204Recruiting
Cannabis use study for cancer patients in community clinics
This study looks at the benefits and risks of using cannabis or cannabinoids for cancer patients. It aims to help understand how these products affect symptoms and quality of life during chemotherapy or immunotherapy.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT05770531RecruitingPhase 2
Blood test guides chemo changes for metastatic breast cancer
This Phase 2 study uses a blood test that looks for “circulating tumor DNA” to help decide if standard chemotherapy should be changed. It aims to see whether this approach improves how well treatment works for certain metastatic (stage IV) breast cancers.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT04389632RecruitingPhase 1
Sigvotatug vedotin for advanced solid tumors that spread
This early-stage study tests a drug called sigvotatug vedotin in people with advanced solid cancers that cannot be removed or have spread. It aims to see how well the treatment works and what side effects it causes.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT04895709RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a new cancer drug for advanced solid tumors
This early-phase trial tests how well a new drug (BMS-986340) works alone and combined with other treatments in people with advanced solid tumors that have progressed despite standard care. It also studies tumor samples to look for biomarkers that may predict who benefits.

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.

- Do I have to live in Tennessee to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Tennessee, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a breast cancer trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
