Recruiting studies in Illinois
- 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.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07007559RecruitingPhase 2
Evorpacept with trastuzumab and chemo for HER2-positive breast cancer
This study tests an experimental drug called evorpacept when given with trastuzumab and chemotherapy for people with HER2-positive breast cancer that has spread. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors or slow down the cancer.
Zion, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06551116Recruiting
Better HER2 testing for HER2-low breast cancer on Enhertu
This study looks at using a more detailed lab test to measure HER2 levels in people with HER2-low metastatic breast cancer who are starting or have just started treatment with Enhertu. The goal is to see if this test can help doctors better understand who might benefit from Enhertu.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 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.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT04886531RecruitingPhase 2
Pre-surgery neratinib plus hormone therapy with trastuzumab
This study tests whether a pre-surgery treatment plan that adds neratinib to hormone therapy and trastuzumab can shrink HER2-positive, ER-positive breast cancer before surgery. It may help patients by improving how much cancer is eliminated at the time of surgery.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05868226RecruitingPhase 1
Early cancer drug study for adults with advanced tumors
This Phase 1 study tests early (first-in-program) cancer medicines in people whose cancer has not been adequately controlled. It helps researchers learn the safest dose and early signs of whether the treatment may work for different tumor types and treatments.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 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.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06441890RecruitingPhase 2
Personalized chemo before breast cancer surgery
This trial tests whether giving chemotherapy before surgery, guided by the genetic profile of your tumor, can improve outcomes for a specific type of HER2-positive breast cancer. It aims to tailor treatment to each person's cancer biology.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 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.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT01042379RecruitingPhase 2
Adaptive drug trial for newly diagnosed breast cancer
This study tests personalized, changing treatment plans (given before surgery) to find better options for your specific breast tumor. You may be asked for extra breast-tissue testing to help match you with the most suitable study drug(s).
Maywood, IllinoisAges 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.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 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.
Arlington Heights, IllinoisAges 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.

What taking part in a her2-positive 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.

- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Illinois to take part?
