Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18–130 - 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.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 30 years+ - NCT06312176RecruitingPhase 3
Study of new drugs for HR+/HER2- advanced breast cancer
This trial tests two new drugs (sacituzumab tirumotecan and pembrolizumab) against standard treatments for a type of advanced breast cancer that is hormone receptor positive and HER2 negative. It's for people whose cancer has worsened despite hormone therapy with a CDK4/6 inhibitor.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06401421Recruiting
Blood test for tumor DNA after breast cancer chemo
This study tests a new blood test to see if it can find tiny bits of tumor DNA after chemotherapy. If you have a larger or higher-risk breast cancer and are getting chemotherapy before surgery, you may join. The test could help doctors know if your cancer is gone or if more treatment is needed.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 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.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 50–70 - NCT04181060RecruitingPhase 3
Osimertinib alone or with bevacizumab for EGFR-mutant lung cancer

Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 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.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT07100106RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of GDC-4198 alone or with giredestrant for advanced breast cancer
This trial tests a new treatment (GDC-4198) alone or with another drug (giredestrant) compared to a standard combination (abemaciclib and giredestrant) for people with advanced hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer that has progressed after previous treatments.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05877599RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a new treatment for advanced cancers with a specific gene change
This trial tests a new type of therapy (NT-175) for people with certain advanced cancers that have a specific genetic change. It might help if your tumor has the TP53 R175H mutation and you have the HLA-A*02:01 immune marker.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06876714RecruitingPhase 3
Shorter vs Longer HER2 Therapy for Breast Cancer with Complete Response
This trial compares 6 months versus 12 months of HER2-targeted therapy for people with HER2+ breast cancer who had a complete response after chemo and trastuzumab. The goal is to see if a shorter treatment is just as effective.
Charlotte, 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.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06748222RecruitingPhase 3
Online mindfulness program for breast cancer survivors

Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18–50 - NCT06377852RecruitingPhase 3
Dosing study for older adults with advanced breast cancer
This trial studies how well different doses of CDK4/6 inhibitors (palbociclib or ribociclib) work in people aged 65 or older with HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer. It aims to find the best starting dose to balance effectiveness and side effects.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 65 years+ - NCT07173751RecruitingPhase 3
Pumitamig for advanced triple-negative breast cancer
This study tests a new drug called pumitamig for people with a type of breast cancer that is triple-negative or has very low hormone receptors and has come back or spread. It aims to see if pumitamig works better than standard treatment and how safe it is for people who cannot get PD(L)-1 immunotherapy with chemo.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT07060807RecruitingPhase 3
Study of Patritumab Deruxtecan for Advanced HR+/HER2- Breast Cancer
This trial tests a new drug called patritumab deruxtecan (a targeted therapy) for people with a common type of advanced breast cancer (HR+/HER2-). It's for those whose cancer has grown despite treatment with a CDK4/6 inhibitor plus hormone therapy.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT07085767RecruitingPhase 3
Palazestrant and ribociclib for first-line advanced breast cancer
This trial tests a new drug (palazestrant) combined with ribociclib for people with a common type of advanced breast cancer that is estrogen receptor-positive and HER2-negative. You may qualify if you haven't had treatment for advanced disease and your cancer has either just been found or came back long after completing hormone therapy.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT07102381RecruitingPhase 2
Zanidatamab plus chemo before surgery for HER2+ breast cancer
This trial tests a new drug called zanidatamab combined with chemotherapy to shrink HER2-positive breast cancer before surgery. It may help improve treatment outcomes for people with stage 2 or 3 breast cancer that has not spread.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT07194044RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a treatment schedule for metastatic Ewing sarcoma
This trial tests a new schedule of standard chemotherapy drugs to see if it improves outcomes for people with metastatic Ewing sarcoma or CIC-rearranged sarcoma. It is for patients who have not had prior cancer treatment, except possibly one initial cycle of VDC.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 1 year+ - NCT05735080RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
INX-315 for advanced cancers with a specific gene change
This trial studies an experimental medicine (INX-315) given in an “open-label” way to people with advanced cancer that has not responded to prior treatment. It mainly looks at safety and side effects first, and also checks how well it works in cancers with a specific gene amplification.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05879926RecruitingPhase 3
Testing chemo after hormone therapy in premenopausal early breast cancer
This Phase 3 trial checks whether adding chemotherapy after standard hormone-blocking treatment works better for some premenopausal women with early-stage, ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer. It targets patients with limited lymph node spread and a lower-to-intermediate tumor “recurrence” risk score.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18–60 - 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.
