This trial tests a new drug, MDX2001, for people with advanced solid tumors that have spread. The study aims to find the best dose and see how well it works.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT03448926Recruiting
DCIS test registry to guide radiation and drug decisions
This study collects information from people with breast ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) to see how a specific lab test (DCISionRT) may help predict who benefits from radiation and/or certain medications. Your results and clinical details are gathered during routine care, not necessarily to change treatment right away.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 30–85 - NCT05422794RecruitingPhase 1
Adding a new drug plus pembrolizumab to standard chemo for TNBC
This trial studies whether adding a new anti-cancer drug (ZEN-3694) and the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab to standard chemotherapy (nab-paclitaxel) can work better for advanced triple-negative breast cancer. It’s testing safety first (Phase 1) and, for some patients, how well the treatment controls the cancer.

Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT02610413Recruiting
DNA testing to explain who gets severe blood pressure with bevacizumab
This study uses whole exome DNA testing to look for inherited genetic differences that may explain why some people develop very high blood pressure from bevacizumab during breast cancer treatment. It compares people who did vs. did not develop severe bevacizumab-related hypertension.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Any age - NCT02610439Recruiting
Genetic testing to find causes of paclitaxel nerve damage
This study uses genetic tests on blood DNA to look for differences that may explain why some people develop nerve pain (peripheral neuropathy) from paclitaxel used for breast cancer. It compares people who got significant neuropathy during treatment with people who did not get neuropathy after completing paclitaxel.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Any age - 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.

What taking part in a breast carcinoma 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.
