Recruiting studies near Pittsburgh
- NCT05919108RecruitingPhase 2
Neratinib before surgery for HER2-mutated invasive lobular breast cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests neratinib given before surgery to treat stage I–III invasive lobular breast cancer that has a specific HER2 mutation and is hormone-receptor positive. It may help shrink the tumor and improve control of cancer before and after surgery.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT02945579Recruiting
Testing skipping breast surgery or radiation for top responders
This trial studies whether some people with early-stage breast cancer who respond extremely well to hormone/chemo/targeted treatment can safely skip breast surgery and/or radiation. It aims to reduce side effects without increasing cancer risk in carefully selected patients.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 30 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.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 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.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06115486Recruiting
Exercise to improve muscle after breast cancer treatment
This trial tests whether a structured exercise program (called EXERT-BCH) can help improve muscle mass in women who have finished breast cancer treatment. It involves group resistance training sessions and is designed to support recovery and strength.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 20–89 - NCT06666439Recruiting
Tracking lobular breast cancer with a blood test
This study is testing a new blood test that looks for cancer DNA to track how lobular breast cancer responds to treatment. It is for people whose cancer has spread and who have not yet started treatment for the spread.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 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.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03448926Recruiting
DCIS test registry to guide radiation and drug decisions
This study collects information from people with breast ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) to see how a specific lab test (DCISionRT) may help predict who benefits from radiation and/or certain medications. Your results and clinical details are gathered during routine care, not necessarily to change treatment right away.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 30–85 - NCT03606967RecruitingPhase 2
Individualized vaccine added to standard treatment for metastatic triple-negative breast cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding a personalized cancer vaccine to durvalumab (an immunotherapy), tremelimumab (another immunotherapy), and chemotherapy can improve outcomes for people with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer. It may help your immune system recognize your specific tumor features.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05501704RecruitingPhase 2
Testosterone-blocking therapy for male breast cancer
This Phase 2 study tests an oral treatment (called “ET”) to treat hormone-receptor–positive, HER2-negative invasive breast cancer in men. It may help shrink or control cancer without using standard cancer treatments first.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05334069Recruiting
Blood test study for early cancer detection in patients
This study collects blood from people with cancer and people without cancer (or with possible cancer) to test whether new blood tests can detect cancer earlier. Your blood samples help researchers evaluate how well these tests work.

What taking part in a invasive breast carcinoma 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.
