Recruiting studies in California
- NCT06586957RecruitingPhase 1
Study of NKT3964 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests an experimental drug called NKT3964 for people with certain advanced cancers that have stopped responding to standard treatments. It aims to see if the drug can shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 19 years+ - NCT04305834RecruitingPhase 2
Abemaciclib plus hormone pills for metastatic breast cancer in older adults
This Phase 2 study tests whether abemaciclib combined with standard hormone (endocrine) therapy can better control metastatic breast cancer in people age 70 and older. It may help if your cancer has already grown despite prior hormone therapy and/or other cancer medicines.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 70 years+ - NCT06774027Recruiting
Breast cancer antibody-drug conjugate treatment registry
This study tracks how well antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) work for breast cancer that has spread. You may join if you are about to start your first or second ADC for hormone receptor-positive/HER2-negative or triple-negative breast cancer.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07391774RecruitingPhase 3
Hormone therapy with or without chemo for early breast cancer

Auburn, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06827236RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a new combination treatment for advanced breast cancer
This study tests two experimental drugs, BNT323 and BNT327, together in people with advanced breast cancer. The goal is to find the best dose and see if the combination is safe and helpful.
Beverly Hills, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06590857RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of targeted radiation for advanced breast cancer
This trial tests a new type of radiation therapy that targets a specific protein on some breast cancer cells. It may help people whose cancer has stopped responding to other treatments.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT07701941RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2

This trial tests two targeted drugs together for people with advanced breast cancer that is hormone receptor positive and has low levels of a protein called HER2. The goal is to see if this combination helps shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07647328RecruitingPhase 3
Camizestrant and ribociclib for advanced hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (camizestrant and ribociclib) for advanced breast cancer that is hormone-receptor-positive and HER2-negative. The study aims to see if this combination helps patients whose cancer cannot be surgically removed or treated with radiation alone.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18–130 - NCT07558733RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
New drug combinations for advanced hormone-receptor positive breast cancer
This trial tests two new drugs (sapanisertib and serabelisib) alone or together to treat advanced breast cancer that is hormone-receptor positive. These drugs target specific pathways that help cancer grow, and the trial will see if they work better than standard treatments.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07541079RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a New Breast Cancer Drug for Women Who Can't Tolerate Current Therapy

Fountain Valley, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07524322RecruitingPhase 1
RGT-490 for Advanced Cancers With PIK3CA Mutations
This study tests a new drug called RGT-490 in patients with advanced solid tumors (cancers that have spread or cannot be removed by surgery) that have a specific genetic change called a PIK3CA mutation. The drug is designed to block a protein involved in cancer cell growth.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07413939RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Study of RO7771950 vs tucatinib for HER2-positive breast cancer
This trial tests a new drug, RO7771950, against another drug called tucatinib. Both are given with standard chemotherapy to see which works better for advanced breast cancer that is HER2-positive. People with brain metastases may join.

Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07368998RecruitingPhase 2
Study of inavolisib plus fulvestrant for advanced breast cancer
This trial tests whether a new targeted pill (inavolisib) plus hormone therapy (fulvestrant) can slow or stop breast cancer growth in people whose cancer has a specific genetic change called a PIK3CA mutation. It is for patients whose disease worsened after previous hormone-and-CDK-inhibitor treatment.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07318805RecruitingPhase 1
A study of PF-08032562 for advanced solid tumors

Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07287098RecruitingPhase 2
Imlunestrant for premenopausal women with ER+/HER2- early breast cancer
This trial tests a new hormone-blocking pill (imlunestrant) in premenopausal women with early-stage ER+/HER2- breast cancer. Depending on whether you've had prior hormone therapy, the study will see if this treatment works better than standard options.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07227233RecruitingPhase 2
AI-guided retrial of CDK4/6 inhibitors for advanced breast cancer
This trial tests whether an artificial intelligence (AI) tool can help doctors decide if it is safe and effective to give you a second course of a CDK4/6 inhibitor drug (like palbociclib, ribociclib, or abemaciclib) plus hormone therapy for advanced (unresectable or metastatic) HR+/HER2- breast cancer. The goal is to only treat people whose cancer is likely to respond based on a special AI analysis of their tumor tissue.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07211178Recruiting
Tracking cancer DNA in blood to detect early return of breast cancer
This study tracks tiny traces of cancer DNA in the blood over time to see if it can find early signs of breast cancer coming back. It looks at different types of breast cancer and at different points in a patient's treatment journey.
Whittier, CaliforniaAges 18–99 - NCT07191717RecruitingPhase 2
Imlunestrant and abemaciclib for early ER+ breast cancer
This trial tests whether adding two targeted drugs, imlunestrant and abemaciclib, to your usual hormone therapy can lower the chance of your breast cancer coming back.

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.
Beverly Hills, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07054190RecruitingPhase 2
Testing inavolisib for early-stage PIK3CA-mutated breast cancer

What taking part in a her2 + 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.
