Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04169542Recruiting
Study on how COVID-19 affected costs for breast surgery patients
This study asks people with breast cancer who are having breast surgery about how COVID-19 affected their out-of-pocket costs, work income, and job stability. Your answers may help improve support for patients during public health emergencies.

Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04410796RecruitingPhase 2
Osimertinib alone or with chemo for EGFR-mutant lung cancer
This trial tests whether osimertinib alone is as good as osimertinib plus chemotherapy for lung cancers that have a specific EGFR mutation. It may help by improving how well the cancer responds and slows growth in people with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06079346RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
New drug with chemotherapy for advanced pancreatic cancer
This trial tests a new drug called OT-101 combined with a standard chemotherapy regimen (mFOLFIRINOX) for people with advanced pancreatic cancer that has spread or cannot be removed. The goal is to see if the combination can help shrink or control the cancer better than chemotherapy alone.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07383649RecruitingPhase 2

Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05884320RecruitingPhase 2
Sacituzumab govitecan for advanced salivary gland cancers
This Phase 2 trial tests sacituzumab govitecan, an anti-cancer medicine, in people with recurrent or metastatic (coming back or spread) secretory gland cancers or related salivary gland cancers. It aims to see how well the treatment can shrink tumors and control disease when surgery or radiation is not a cure.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05673928RecruitingPhase 2
Tucatinib and T-DM1 for HER2-positive brain-metastasis tumors
This Phase 2 study tests tucatinib plus T-DM1 (ado-trastuzumab emtansine) in people with HER2-positive metastatic solid tumors that have spread to the brain. It aims to shrink brain and body tumors and help control cancer that is progressing in the brain.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06638307RecruitingPhase 1
Study of new drug MEN2312 for advanced breast cancer with specific genetic changes
This trial tests a new drug, MEN2312, for people with advanced breast cancer that has specific genetic changes in PIK3CA, AKT1, or PTEN. It's for those who have already tried certain hormone therapies and a CDK4/6 inhibitor combination, and the cancer has continued to grow.

What taking part in a metastatic 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.
