Recruiting studies near Boston
- NCT05523947RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug for HER2-positive solid tumors, with dose changes
This early-stage study tests YH32367, a drug for people whose cancer is HER2-positive. It aims to find a safe dose and see whether it can shrink HER2-positive cancers that have spread or are hard to treat.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06625775RecruitingPhase 1
Study of BBO-10203 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called BBO-10203, alone or combined with other cancer treatments, for people with certain advanced breast, colorectal, or lung cancers. It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06253871RecruitingPhase 1
Study of IAM1363 for HER2 Cancers
This trial tests a new oral drug called IAM1363 for people with HER2-altered cancers that have stopped responding to previous treatments. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and how well it works against these cancers.
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+ - NCT07213791RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a new drug for FAP-positive cancers
This trial tests a new drug (LY4337713) for cancers that have a specific protein called FAP on their surface. It may be an option for people whose cancer has continued to grow after standard treatments.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05872295RecruitingPhase 1
Study drug for HER2-positive advanced cancers
This Phase 1 trial tests IKS014 to see how safe it is and how well it works in advanced solid tumors that have HER2. You may be eligible if your tumor is HER2-positive (including certain “low HER2” types) and your body’s blood counts and organ function are strong enough.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06439693RecruitingPhase 2
Sequential therapy for newly diagnosed HER2+ breast cancer that has spread
This trial tests a sequence of targeted therapies for people newly diagnosed with HER2-positive breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. The goal is to find a treatment plan that can potentially cure the cancer.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05950945RecruitingPhase 3
Trastuzumab deruxtecan for HER2-low metastatic breast cancer
This trial tests a targeted antibody-drug medicine (trastuzumab deruxtecan, T-DXd) in people with metastatic breast cancer that is HER2-low or HER2 IHC 0. It may help by treating tumors that haven’t previously received anti-HER2 treatment in the metastatic setting.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 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”).
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05894239RecruitingPhase 3
Tested targeted drug for HER2-positive breast cancer with PIK3CA changes
This Phase 3 study tests inavolisib plus Phesgo versus placebo plus Phesgo in people whose breast cancer has both HER2-positive and PIK3CA-mutated tumor markers. The goal is to see if adding inavolisib improves how well the treatment controls the cancer and how safe it is.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05150691RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Early study of an HER2 drug in advanced solid tumors
This early-phase trial tests DB-1303 and BNT323 together in people with advanced or metastatic solid cancers that have specific HER2 features. It may be an option when standard treatments have stopped working, aiming to find a safer dose and early signs of effectiveness.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06435429RecruitingPhase 3
Zanidatamab vs trastuzumab for HER2+ breast cancer
This study compares a new drug called zanidatamab against trastuzumab (Herceptin), both given with a chemotherapy of your doctor's choice. It is for people with HER2-positive breast cancer that has spread and who have already tried T-DXd treatment.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07137416RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new combination of cancer drugs for HER2-positive tumors and breast cancer
This trial tests the safety of combining two drugs, CX-5461 (Pidnarulex) and Trastuzumab Deruxtecan (T-DXd), in people with HER2-positive solid tumors or certain types of breast cancer. If you have advanced cancer that hasn't responded to other treatments, this study may be an option.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04585750RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug for TP53 Y220C-mutated advanced cancers
This early-phase study tests PC14586 (rezatapopt) in people with advanced or metastatic solid cancers that carry a specific TP53 mutation called Y220C. It mainly looks at safety and how well the treatment may work, sometimes combined with pembrolizumab.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 12 years+ - NCT04030507Recruiting
Brain MRI screening during chemotherapy for breast cancer
This trial checks the brain using MRI in people with breast cancer that has spread outside the breast or can’t be fully removed. The goal is to screen for brain involvement and see how MRI findings fit with treatment timing, when it’s safe to do so.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04893109RecruitingPhase 2
Study compares two HER2 breast cancer treatments after surgery
This Phase 2 study tests two different medicines given after breast surgery to reduce the risk of cancer coming back. It is only for people with early-stage HER2-positive breast cancer with limited or no lymph node spread.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04899908RecruitingPhase 2
Brain radiation with or without gadolinium nanoparticles for brain metastases
This trial tests whether adding tiny gadolinium-containing nanoparticles to standard brain radiation can better control brain metastases from certain cancers. It is for people with tumors that have grown after immunotherapy, are from certain cancers (like melanoma, GI, or HER2+ breast), are cystic, are large, or have come back after prior radiation.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04802759RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing drug combinations for recurrent or advanced ER-positive breast cancer
This early-phase trial tests several combinations of cancer medicines to slow or control ER-positive breast cancer that has returned or progressed. It also checks safety and whether tumor or blood biomarkers can help match the right treatment to the right person.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06123988Recruiting
Fasting and exercise for breast cancer fatigue
This study tests whether changing your eating and exercise habits can help reduce fatigue and improve other symptoms. Participants will either extend their overnight fasting period, increase their exercise, or both, while continuing their standard breast cancer treatment.
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+ - 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.

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.
