Ductal Carcinoma in Situ clinical trials in Pennsylvania
We’re tracking 9 recruiting ductal carcinoma in situ studies with a site in Pennsylvania — including Phase 1 and Phase 2 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in Pennsylvania
- NCT05327608RecruitingPhase 2
Time-restricted eating during breast cancer chemotherapy
This study is testing whether time-restricted eating (confining all meals to a specific window each day) can improve the response to chemotherapy in women with newly diagnosed breast cancer. Participants will follow this eating pattern for 16 weeks while receiving their standard chemotherapy, and the researchers will monitor how the tumor shrinks.

Testing Active Surveillance for Hormone-Positive DCIS After Surgery
This trial tests whether active surveillance (close monitoring) is a good option for certain patients with hormone-positive DCIS who have positive surgical margins after initial surgery. You would receive no immediate additional treatment—just regular imaging and check-ups.
Bryn Mawr, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04959474Recruiting
Pre-surgery radiation study with or without calorie restriction
This trial looks at whether a planned calorie-reduction diet before surgery can change how early breast cancer responds to a short course of radiation. It may help people understand if diet could improve outcomes alongside standard pre-surgery treatment.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 40 years+ - NCT06218303RecruitingPhase 1
Vaccine for early breast cancer (DCIS)
This trial tests a vaccine that targets a protein (MUC1) found in early breast cancer cells. It's for women with ER+ DCIS who are planning surgery, to see if the vaccine can help prevent the cancer from coming back or getting worse.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07478016Recruiting
Studying inflammation and social factors in breast cancer
This study looks at how inflammation and social factors (like stress or support) affect breast cancer patients before they start treatment. You may qualify if you are a woman, newly diagnosed, and have not yet had any cancer treatment.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 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.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 30–85 - 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.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06115486Recruiting
Exercise to improve muscle after breast cancer treatment
This trial tests whether a structured exercise program (called EXERT-BCH) can help improve muscle mass in women who have finished breast cancer treatment. It involves group resistance training sessions and is designed to support recovery and strength.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 20–89 - NCT06218914RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a new treatment for KRAS G12D cancers
This trial tests a new type of cell therapy (called TCR-T) that targets a specific genetic change (KRAS G12D) in advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard treatments. It may be an option if your cancer has this mutation and you have a specific tissue type (HLA).

What taking part in a ductal carcinoma in situ 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.

Common questions
- Are there ductal carcinoma in situ clinical trials in Pennsylvania?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 9 recruiting ductal carcinoma in situ studies with a site in Pennsylvania, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a ductal carcinoma in situ study in Pennsylvania?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Pennsylvania to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Pennsylvania, 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 ductal carcinoma in situ 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.
Not the right time?
New ductal carcinoma in situ studies open in Pennsylvania regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
