Recruiting studies near San Francisco
- 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.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06084481RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a new drug for advanced solid tumors
This study tests a new intravenous drug called ABBV-400 in people with certain advanced solid tumors that have not responded to other treatments. The goal is to see if it can slow or stop tumor growth and to check for side effects.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07391774RecruitingPhase 3
Hormone therapy with or without chemo for early breast cancer
This trial tests whether skipping chemotherapy and using only hormone therapy with a drug called ribociclib works as well as chemotherapy followed by hormone therapy with ribociclib for certain early breast cancers that have a low risk of coming back.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 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.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04621435RecruitingPhase 1
PET imaging test for solid tumors using FAP-2286
This Phase 1 study tests a special imaging scan (using FAP-2286) to see solid tumors in people who have already been diagnosed. It may help doctors better detect where cancer is in the body and how to plan treatment.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07487844Recruiting
Electric field therapy for breast cancer that has spread

San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07413939RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Study of RO7771950 vs tucatinib for HER2-positive breast cancer
This trial tests a new drug, RO7771950, against another drug called tucatinib. Both are given with standard chemotherapy to see which works better for advanced breast cancer that is HER2-positive. People with brain metastases may join.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 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.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05107674RecruitingPhase 1
Early drug study for advanced cancers that have limited options
This Phase 1 study tests NX-1607 in adults with advanced cancers that are hard to treat with standard care. It focuses on safety and early signs of how well the drug may work in specific cancer types.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06369285RecruitingPhase 2
Alisertib and hormone therapy for advanced breast cancer
This trial tests a new drug, alisertib, combined with hormone therapy for people with HR-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer that has spread or come back and is no longer curable. It may be an option if you've already tried at least two hormone therapies and a CDK4/6 inhibitor.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03723928Recruiting
Blood test–guided monitoring for metastatic breast cancer treatment
This study checks whether specific blood “tumor marker” levels can help monitor how hormone receptor–positive, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer responds to first-line therapy. It uses regular blood tests (and sometimes scans) to see if this marker-based monitoring is useful and reliable.
Emeryville, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05646862RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing two treatments for advanced breast cancer with a PIK3CA mutation
This trial tests whether a new drug combo (inavolisib plus fulvestrant) works better than an existing one (alpelisib plus fulvestrant) for people with a specific type of advanced breast cancer that has a PIK3CA mutation. It aims to find a treatment that may help control the cancer longer.
Greenbrae, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05774951RecruitingPhase 3
Camizestrant for hormone-positive, HER2-negative early breast cancer
This trial tests camizestrant, a medicine that blocks estrogen signaling, to help prevent hormone-positive, HER2-negative early breast cancer from coming back. You may be eligible if your cancer has higher- or intermediate-risk features and you already completed at least 2 years of hormone therapy.
Greenbrae, CaliforniaAges 18–130 - NCT06997029RecruitingPhase 1
Study of BMS-986500 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called BMS-986500, alone or with other treatments, for people with advanced solid tumors that cannot be removed by surgery or have spread. It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective.
Greenbrae, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06790693RecruitingPhase 3
Inavolisib plus hormone therapy for advanced breast cancer
This trial tests a new targeted therapy, inavolisib, combined with standard hormone therapy and a CDK4/6 inhibitor for people with a specific genetic mutation (PIK3CA) in their hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer that has not been treated before. It compares this combination to a placebo plus the same standard treatments.
San Mateo, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04589468Recruiting
Exercise for cancer survivors at high risk
This study tests whether a structured exercise program can help prevent cancer from coming back in people who have been treated for certain solid tumors (colorectal, ovarian, lung, or breast cancer). If you've completed surgery and adjuvant therapy within the past 2 years and are currently not exercising much, you may be eligible. Participation involves following an exercise plan and regular check-ins.
San Carlos, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03808337RecruitingPhase 2
SBRT radiation plus standard treatment for spread cancer
This trial looks at adding a focused radiation treatment called SBRT to standard care for cancers that have spread to a limited number of spots. It aims to control those spread-out tumors while still using the usual cancer treatment plan.
San Carlos, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05059444Recruiting
Blood test to catch cancer early after treatment
This study looks for signs of cancer left in the body after treatment using a simple blood test (called a liquid biopsy). It aims to see if the test can catch cancer that might come back earlier than regular scans.
Redwood City, CaliforniaAges 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.
Vallejo, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06562192RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a radioactive drug for advanced pancreatic, lung, breast, and colorectal cancers
This trial tests a new radioactive drug (177Lu-NNS309) for people with advanced pancreatic, lung, breast, or colorectal cancer that has not responded to prior treatments. It aims to see if the drug can target and shrink tumors.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18–100 - NCT07647328RecruitingPhase 3
Camizestrant and ribociclib for advanced hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (camizestrant and ribociclib) for advanced breast cancer that is hormone-receptor-positive and HER2-negative. The study aims to see if this combination helps patients whose cancer cannot be surgically removed or treated with radiation alone.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18–130 - NCT04981119Recruiting
Test apheresis for CAR T manufacturing in HLA-A2 solid tumors
This trial studies how a process called apheresis is used to make CAR T cells for people with certain solid tumors. It is designed for tumors that have lost a specific immune marker (HLA-A*02), which may affect how well CAR T therapies work.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07405801RecruitingPhase 2
Inavolisib plus ribociclib plus fulvestrant for advanced breast cancer
This trial tests a combination of three drugs (inavolisib, ribociclib, and fulvestrant) compared to a placebo plus two of the drugs (ribociclib and fulvestrant) for people with advanced hormone receptor-positive breast cancer who have not had prior treatment for advanced disease. The goal is to see if adding inavolisib improves outcomes.
