Recruiting studies in Massachusetts
- 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.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06150664RecruitingPhase 1
Study of CTX-8371 for advanced cancers no longer helped by standard therapy
This trial tests a new drug called CTX-8371 for people with advanced cancers (melanoma, head and neck, lung, triple-negative breast, or Hodgkin lymphoma) that have stopped responding to standard treatments, especially immunotherapy. It is a first-in-human study, meaning doctors are learning if the drug is safe and how well it works.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06312176RecruitingPhase 3
Study of new drugs for HR+/HER2- advanced breast cancer
This trial tests two new drugs (sacituzumab tirumotecan and pembrolizumab) against standard treatments for a type of advanced breast cancer that is hormone receptor positive and HER2 negative. It's for people whose cancer has worsened despite hormone therapy with a CDK4/6 inhibitor.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05307705RecruitingPhase 1
Testing LOXO-783 for PIK3CA-mutated cancers
This trial tests an experimental drug (LOXO-783) for people with advanced breast cancer or other solid tumors that have a specific change in the PIK3CA gene. The goal is to see if the drug can shrink or slow the growth of the cancer.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04787042RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Safety and early benefits of ST-067 for advanced solid tumors
This early-stage trial tests ST-067 to see if it is safe and whether it may shrink advanced cancers. It also looks at how the drug moves through the body and affects the immune system.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06452277RecruitingPhase 3
Testing sevabertinib for advanced HER2-mutated lung cancer
This trial compares a new targeted drug called sevabertinib against standard chemotherapy plus immunotherapy for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has a specific HER2 gene mutation. The goal is to see if sevabertinib works better and is safe.
Worcester, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06926868RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Study of a new drug versus chemotherapy for advanced triple-negative breast cancer
This trial tests a new investigational drug called izalontamab brengitecan against standard chemotherapy for people with advanced triple-negative breast cancer who cannot receive immunotherapy. The goal is to see if the new drug works better at shrinking or slowing the cancer.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07046923RecruitingPhase 1
A study of LY4175408 for advanced cancer
This trial tests a new targeted drug (LY4175408) for people with certain advanced solid tumors (lung, endometrial, or triple negative breast cancer) who have already tried standard treatments. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and effective.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 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.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06377852RecruitingPhase 3
Dosing study for older adults with advanced breast cancer
This trial studies how well different doses of CDK4/6 inhibitors (palbociclib or ribociclib) work in people aged 65 or older with HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer. It aims to find the best starting dose to balance effectiveness and side effects.
Foxborough, MassachusettsAges 65 years+ - NCT04389632RecruitingPhase 1
Sigvotatug vedotin for advanced solid tumors that spread
This early-stage study tests a drug called sigvotatug vedotin in people with advanced solid cancers that cannot be removed or have spread. It aims to see how well the treatment works and what side effects it causes.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05059444Recruiting
Blood test study to watch for cancer coming back
This study looks at whether blood tests can detect signs that cancer may return after curative-intent treatment. You would have blood drawn around your usual follow-up visits for up to 5 years, and your de-identified health data would be shared with study investigators.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07114601RecruitingPhase 1
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.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05408845RecruitingPhase 2
Study drug vs standard care for HER2 salivary gland cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests how well ado-trastuzumab emtansine (and compares to two standard treatment options) works for salivary gland cancers that are HER2-positive or HER2-low. It aims to see whether the study drug can control cancer better and with acceptable side effects.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05372614RecruitingPhase 1
Testing trastuzumab deruxtecan and neratinib for HER2-positive cancers
This trial tests a combination of two targeted drugs, trastuzumab deruxtecan (Enhertu) and neratinib, for people with solid tumors that have a HER2 gene change. The goal is to see if the combination is safe and works well for cancers that have not responded to at least one prior treatment.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05256225RecruitingPhase 3
Adding Herceptin medicines to chemo for HER2-positive endometrial cancer
This Phase 3 trial tests whether adding Herceptin Hylecta or Phesgo to standard chemotherapy works better than chemotherapy alone for HER2-positive serous endometrial cancer or carcinosarcoma. It may help by improving how well treatment controls or shrinks the 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.
