Recruiting studies near Washington, D.C.
- NCT07540572RecruitingPhase 1
Testing IDE574 safety and effectiveness in advanced solid tumors
This early-stage trial tests a new drug called IDE574 to see if it is safe and effective in treating advanced cancers that have spread or stopped responding to standard treatments. The trial focuses mainly on hormone-receptor positive breast cancer, but also includes lung, prostate, and colorectal cancers.
Fairfax, VirginiaAges 18–99 - NCT06324357RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Zongertinib for HER2-positive cancers that have spread
This trial tests a new pill called zongertinib, alone or with other drugs, for people with HER2-positive cancers (like breast, stomach, or colorectal cancer) that have spread and are no longer responding to standard treatments. The goal is to find the best dose and see if it can help shrink tumors or slow the disease.
Fairfax, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07145255RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of MBRC-201 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug, MBRC-201, for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. The goal is to find the best dose and see if it helps shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Fairfax, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT01900821Recruiting

This study looks at how GammaPod radiation planning after a lumpectomy affects quality of life and comfort. Your doctors will use imaging and a structured plan to help predict outcomes and refine care.
Columbia, MarylandAges 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.
Columbia, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07683754RecruitingPhase 3
T-DXd with hormone therapy for HER2-positive breast cancer
This trial tests a targeted drug combination for HER2-positive, hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer that has spread. It aims to shrink tumors and control the disease for as long as possible, with a planned switch to maintenance therapy after initial response.
Columbia, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05645536Enrolling by invitationPhase 3
Safety follow-up for hormone-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer
This trial studies the safety of continuing endocrine therapy with ovarian suppression (for women) after you finish the earlier OVELIA study. It may help doctors confirm that the treatment remains safe for longer-term use.
Columbia, MarylandAges 18–51 - NCT06418204Recruiting
Cannabis use among cancer patients in community clinics
This study looks at how cancer patients use cannabis (marijuana) and cannabis products to manage symptoms during chemotherapy or immunotherapy. The goal is to learn about the benefits and risks so doctors can better guide patients.
Glen Burnie, MarylandAges 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.
Glen Burnie, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05283330RecruitingPhase 1
Tested 212Pb imaging drug for certain advanced GRPR tumors
This early-phase study tests how safe and tolerable an experimental radiation drug is for adults with certain advanced or metastatic cancers that show a target called GRPR. Doctors will also use special scans to confirm the tumor has the target so the treatment can be delivered to the right place.
Glen Burnie, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07020117RecruitingPhase 1
Study of AKY-1189 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new radioactive drug, AKY-1189, for people with solid tumors that have spread or cannot be removed. It may help if other treatments have stopped working.
Glen Burnie, MarylandAges 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.
Annapolis, MarylandAges 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.
Annapolis, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07100106RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of GDC-4198 alone or with giredestrant for advanced breast cancer
This trial tests a new treatment (GDC-4198) alone or with another drug (giredestrant) compared to a standard combination (abemaciclib and giredestrant) for people with advanced hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer that has progressed after previous treatments.
Annapolis, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT02012699Recruiting
Cancer registry for people with or at risk of cancer
This trial collects health information and samples (a “cancer repository”) to help researchers study cancer and cancer risk. You may be able to join if you’ve had cancer before or if you’re at higher risk or have concerning findings.
Randallstown, MarylandAges 19–110 - NCT05696626RecruitingPhase 3
Test a new pill plus abemaciclib versus standard therapy
This Phase 3 study compares lasofoxifene plus abemaciclib versus fulvestrant plus abemaciclib for ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer that has an ESR1 mutation. It looks for better tumor control in people whose cancer has progressed on hormone therapy (an aromatase inhibitor) and who meet specific safety and testing requirements.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06764940RecruitingPhase 2
Utidelone and capecitabine for HER2-negative breast cancer with brain metastases
This trial tests if the combination of Utidelone and capecitabine can shrink brain metastases in people with HER2-negative breast cancer. It is designed for those whose cancer has spread to the brain and who have not had many prior treatments.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05386719Recruiting
Cardiometabolic screening for people after early breast cancer
This trial tests a screening program to look for heart- and metabolism-related health risks in people who have completed treatment for early breast cancer. It may help catch problems earlier so you can get timely care.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07032545Recruiting
Broccoli microgreens study for obese breast cancer survivors
This trial tests if eating broccoli microgreens can improve metabolism in obese breast cancer survivors. Participants will avoid other cruciferous vegetables during the study to see how the microgreens affect their health.
Baltimore, MarylandAges Any age - 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.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - 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.

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.
