This Phase 1/2 study tests EP0062, a study medicine given alone or with other treatments, in people with advanced or metastatic breast cancer. It’s designed to see how well it works and what side effects it causes when the cancer has specific hormone-receptor markers (AR+ and ER+) and is HER2-negative.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT05468034Recruiting
Exercise program for metastatic breast cancer using a phone
This trial studies how a supervised exercise program (with treadmill walking and phone tracking) affects people living with metastatic breast cancer. It may help by improving fitness and day-to-day ability, especially if you’re currently not meeting regular exercise goals.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT04606446RecruitingPhase 2
Study drug for ER-positive, HER2-negative cancers after treatment
This Phase 2 study tests a new Pfizer medicine (PF-07248144) for certain advanced or metastatic breast, prostate, or lung cancers that have not responded to standard treatment or no standard options exist. You may qualify if you have a specific tumor type and a limited number of prior cancer treatments, and if your body functions (blood, liver, kidneys) and heart rhythm meet safety limits.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT04585750RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Studying a new drug for cancers with a specific TP53 change
This trial tests a new drug (rezatapopt) for people with advanced cancers that have a specific change in the TP53 gene, called Y220C. The drug is designed to target this change and may slow or stop cancer growth. Some participants may also receive an immunotherapy drug called pembrolizumab (Keytruda).

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.
