Recruiting studies in New Jersey
- NCT07402473RecruitingPhase 2
Optimizing treatment before surgery for HER2-positive breast cancer
This trial tests a neoadjuvant (before surgery) treatment plan for people with early-stage HER2-positive breast cancer. The goal is to see if a personalized approach can improve outcomes.
Elizabeth, New JerseyAges 18–90 - 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.
Englewood, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06518837RecruitingPhase 2
Tirzepatide for weight loss in early breast cancer
This study tests if tirzepatide (a weight loss drug) can help women and men with early-stage hormone receptor-positive breast cancer who are overweight or obese. The goal is to see if losing weight can improve outcomes after completing their initial breast cancer treatment.
Elizabeth, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06493019RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab with chemo and radiation for early anal cancer
This trial tests a combination of the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab, two chemotherapy drugs (carboplatin and paclitaxel), and radiation for people with early-stage anal cancer who cannot take the usual chemotherapy. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and effective as an alternative treatment.
New Brunswick, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT04333537RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Sentinel node biopsy versus standard neck surgery for early mouth cancer
This trial compares two ways of checking whether early oral cavity squamous cell cancer has spread to neck lymph nodes. It tests whether sentinel lymph node biopsy can find spread as well as standard neck dissection, while potentially reducing more extensive surgery for some people.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05559164RecruitingPhase 2
Statins to protect the heart during HER2 breast cancer treatment
This trial tests whether a cholesterol medicine (a statin) can lower the risk of heart damage in people receiving HER2-targeted breast cancer therapy. If you qualify, you may be given a statin and followed with heart tests and blood work to watch for safety and benefit.
Jersey City, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05774951RecruitingPhase 3
Camizestrant for hormone-positive, HER2-negative early breast cancer
This trial tests camizestrant, a medicine that blocks estrogen signaling, to help prevent hormone-positive, HER2-negative early breast cancer from coming back. You may be eligible if your cancer has higher- or intermediate-risk features and you already completed at least 2 years of hormone therapy.
Belleville, New JerseyAges 18–130 - NCT01042379RecruitingPhase 2
Adaptive drug trial for newly diagnosed breast cancer
This study tests personalized, changing treatment plans (given before surgery) to find better options for your specific breast tumor. You may be asked for extra breast-tissue testing to help match you with the most suitable study drug(s).
New Brunswick, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT00823654Recruiting
Blood tests during treatment to track ovarian egg supply
This study measures blood biomarkers to understand how breast cancer treatment affects a person’s future fertility (ovarian reserve). It may help patients learn more about egg supply changes after chemotherapy and hormone-related treatments.
Montvale, New JerseyAges 18–44 - NCT05879926RecruitingPhase 3
Testing chemo after hormone therapy in premenopausal early breast cancer
This Phase 3 trial checks whether adding chemotherapy after standard hormone-blocking treatment works better for some premenopausal women with early-stage, ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer. It targets patients with limited lymph node spread and a lower-to-intermediate tumor “recurrence” risk score.
Camden, New JerseyAges 18–60 - NCT06966700RecruitingPhase 3
Study of Sac-TMT in Early High-Risk Breast Cancer
This study tests a new drug called Sacituzumab Tirumotecan (Sac-TMT) for people with early-stage, high-risk breast cancer that hasn't spread. The drug is given before surgery to see if it can shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
Hackensack, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06841354RecruitingPhase 3
Sac-TMT alone or with pembrolizumab for advanced triple-negative breast cancer
This trial tests a new drug, Sac-TMT, given alone or with an immunotherapy drug (pembrolizumab) for people with advanced triple-negative breast cancer who have not yet received any treatment for advanced disease. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
Hackensack, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT04317534RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab after lung cancer surgery versus observation
This trial tests whether pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy drug) given after complete surgery can lower the chance that early-stage lung cancer comes back. You’ll be compared to standard follow-up without extra treatment to see if the drug helps more people stay cancer-free.

What taking part in a early-stage 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.
