Can some women safely skip radiation after breast cancer surgery?
This trial is for women 50 and older with early-stage, hormone-positive or HER2-positive breast cancer. It tests whether it is safe to skip radiation therapy after a lumpectomy if an MRI before surgery shows the breast tissue looks a certain way.
Houston, TexasAges 50 years+ - NCT02945579Recruiting
Testing skipping breast surgery or radiation for top responders
This trial studies whether some people with early-stage breast cancer who respond extremely well to hormone/chemo/targeted treatment can safely skip breast surgery and/or radiation. It aims to reduce side effects without increasing cancer risk in carefully selected patients.
Houston, TexasAges 30 years+ - NCT05868226RecruitingPhase 1
Early cancer drug study for adults with advanced tumors
This Phase 1 study tests early (first-in-program) cancer medicines in people whose cancer has not been adequately controlled. It helps researchers learn the safest dose and early signs of whether the treatment may work for different tumor types and treatments.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07205822RecruitingPhase 3
Dato-DXd for advanced HR-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer
This trial tests a new drug called Dato-DXd for people with a specific type of breast cancer that is hormone receptor-positive and HER2-negative (IHC 0). It's for those whose cancer has stopped responding to hormone therapy and who haven't had chemotherapy for cancer that has spread.
Houston, TexasAges 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.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07011654RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of two drugs for metastatic triple-negative breast cancer

The goal is to see if this combination can help shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06545682RecruitingPhase 1
Study of alpelisib and pembrolizumab for advanced breast cancer or melanoma
This trial tests a combination of two drugs, alpelisib and pembrolizumab, for people with advanced triple-negative breast cancer or melanoma that has spread. The goal is to see if the combination can help shrink tumors, including those that have spread to the brain.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06184750RecruitingPhase 2
Finding the best tamoxifen dose to lower breast cancer risk
This trial tests different doses of tamoxifen to find the best one for lowering breast cancer risk in premenopausal women. It aims to see if a lower dose works as well as the standard dose with fewer side effects.
Houston, TexasAges 18–55 - NCT05056857Recruiting
Study immune-web changes in ER+ breast cancer on tamoxifen
This trial studies how the immune system forms “neutrophil extracellular traps” (immune web material) in people with ER-positive breast cancer who take tamoxifen. It aims to understand whether tamoxifen changes this immune activity over time, which may help explain how it works.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07174336RecruitingPhase 3
Testing Tersolisib with other treatments for advanced breast cancer
This trial tests a new study drug called Tersolisib combined with other anti-cancer treatments for people with advanced breast cancer that has a specific gene change (PIK3CA). The goal is to see if the combination can help shrink or slow the cancer.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07085767RecruitingPhase 3
Palazestrant and ribociclib for first-line advanced breast cancer
This trial tests a new drug (palazestrant) combined with ribociclib for people with a common type of advanced breast cancer that is estrogen receptor-positive and HER2-negative. You may qualify if you haven't had treatment for advanced disease and your cancer has either just been found or came back long after completing hormone therapy.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06492616RecruitingPhase 3
Elacestrant vs standard hormone therapy for high-risk early breast cancer
This trial tests a new hormone therapy pill (elacestrant) against standard hormone therapy for people with a common type of early breast cancer (ER+, HER2-) that has a higher chance of returning. You may qualify if you've already been on hormone therapy for 2 to 5 years and want to see if a different pill works better.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05795101RecruitingPhase 2
TRUDI trial for inflammatory breast cancer with HER2/low markers
This Phase 2 trial tests two medicines—durvalumab and trastuzumab deruxtecan—to treat stage III inflammatory breast cancer. It may help by controlling cancer growth using treatments aimed at specific breast cancer markers (HER2 positive or “HER2-low”).
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06923527RecruitingPhase 2
Testing ctDNA to start elacestrant in early breast cancer
This trial tests whether the drug elacestrant can help prevent recurrence in people with a type of breast cancer (ER+/HER2-) who have finished hormone therapy and have signs of cancer DNA in their blood (ctDNA positive) but no visible spread on scans.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06058377RecruitingPhase 3
Adding immunotherapy to chemo for stage II-III breast cancer
This trial tests whether adding the immunotherapy drug durvalumab to standard chemotherapy works better than chemo alone for people with hormone receptor positive, HER2 negative breast cancer that is stage II or III and has a high-risk genetic score (MammaPrint High Risk 2).
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - 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.

Study of LY4257496 for people with GRPR-positive solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug, LY4257496, in people with certain types of cancer that have a protein called GRPR on their cells. The study aims to see if the drug can help shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - 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.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06533826RecruitingPhase 2
Testing two antibody drugs for HER2-low breast cancer
This trial tests two antibody-drug conjugates (Enhertu and Datroway) for breast cancer that is HER2-low or HER2-0. It aims to find the best treatment sequence for people whose cancer has stopped responding to prior therapy.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - 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.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05305924RecruitingPhase 2
