- 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+ - NCT05564377RecruitingPhase 2

Boston, MassachusettsAges Any age - NCT07198724RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
A study of elacestrant plus Enhertu for advanced breast cancer
This trial tests a new combination of two targeted drugs (elacestrant and Enhertu) for people with a specific type of advanced breast cancer (HR-positive, HER2-low or ultra-low) that did not respond to standard treatments like CDK4/6 inhibitors. The goal is to see if this combination works better than current options.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06488378RecruitingPhase 1
Axatilimab and olaparib for BRCA/PALB2-mutated breast cancer
This trial tests combining two drugs – axatilimab and olaparib (a PARP inhibitor) – for people with advanced HER2-negative breast cancer that carries a BRCA or PALB2 gene mutation. The goal is to see if this new combination is safe and effective.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06625775RecruitingPhase 1
Study of BBO-10203 for advanced solid tumors

Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06369285RecruitingPhase 2
Alisertib and hormone therapy for advanced breast cancer
This trial tests a new drug, alisertib, combined with hormone therapy for people with HR-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer that has spread or come back and is no longer curable. It may be an option if you've already tried at least two hormone therapies and a CDK4/6 inhibitor.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05812807RecruitingPhase 3
Pembrolizumab versus monitoring after triple-negative breast cancer response
This trial checks whether giving pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy) after surgery helps people with triple-negative breast cancer reduce the chance of the cancer coming back, compared with close monitoring only. It’s for patients who had no remaining invasive cancer after neoadjuvant chemotherapy plus pembrolizumab.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07222215RecruitingPhase 2
Capacitabine with or without elacestrant for ER+ breast cancer
This trial tests if adding a new oral targeted therapy (elacestrant) to standard chemotherapy (capecitabine) works better than chemotherapy alone for people with a specific type of advanced breast cancer that is hormone-sensitive (ER-positive) and has stopped responding to hormone therapy.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06380751RecruitingPhase 3
New targeted therapy for BRCA/PALB2-mutated HR+ breast cancer
This trial tests a new combination of targeted therapies (saruparib plus camizestrant or hormone therapy) against standard treatments for people with a specific type of advanced breast cancer. It may be a good option if you have a BRCA1, BRCA2, or PALB2 gene mutation and have not yet had treatment for your advanced disease.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 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.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 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.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 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.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 70 years+ - NCT05467891RecruitingPhase 2
Ribociclib plus hormone therapy for recurrent breast cancer
This trial tests whether adding ribociclib (a targeted pill) to hormone therapy can control breast cancer that has come back in the breast area or nearby lymph nodes/chest wall. It targets hormone-receptor–positive and HER2-negative tumors to help slow disease after local treatment.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07524855RecruitingPhase 1
HLD-0117 study for metastatic breast cancer
This early-stage study tests a new drug called HLD-0117 in women whose metastatic breast cancer (cancer that has spread beyond the breast) has stopped responding to previous hormone and targeted therapies.

Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05879926RecruitingPhase 3
Testing chemo after hormone therapy in premenopausal early breast cancer

RLY-2608 for PIK3CA-mutant advanced solid tumors and breast cancer
This early study (Phase 1) tests RLY-2608, a targeted cancer drug for tumors with a PIK3CA mutation. It studies the drug alone and combined with hormone therapy (and sometimes CDK4/6 or CDK4 medicines) to see safety, dose, and whether it can shrink tumors.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 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.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 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+ - NCT06757634RecruitingPhase 3
A study of gedatolisib for first-line advanced breast cancer
This trial tests a new targeted therapy called gedatolisib for people with HR-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer who have not yet received treatment for metastatic disease. It aims to see if adding this drug to standard hormone therapy can help control the cancer longer.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04852887RecruitingPhase 3
Testing shorter breast radiation after low-risk hormone breast cancer
This Phase 3 trial studies whether “less intense” radiation can work as well as standard radiation for certain early-stage hormone receptor–positive, HER2-negative breast cancers that have a low Oncotype DX score. It may help reduce treatment burden while keeping cancer control strong.

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.
