Raleigh, North CarolinaAges 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.
Albemarle, North CarolinaAges 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.
Hendersonville, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06790693RecruitingPhase 3
Inavolisib plus hormone therapy for advanced breast cancer
This trial tests a new targeted therapy, inavolisib, combined with standard hormone therapy and a CDK4/6 inhibitor for people with a specific genetic mutation (PIK3CA) in their hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer that has not been treated before. It compares this combination to a placebo plus the same standard treatments.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05564377RecruitingPhase 2

What taking part in a her2-negative 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.
