Recruiting studies in Massachusetts
- 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.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–130 - 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.

Studying better ways to find breast swelling after cancer treatment
This trial looks at new tools to detect lymphedema (breast or arm swelling) after breast cancer treatment. If you had breast-conserving surgery, radiation, and have finished active therapy (except certain hormone treatments), researchers want to see if a simple device can spot fluid buildup early.

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.

Common questions
- Are there metastatic breast cancer clinical trials in Massachusetts?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 133 recruiting metastatic breast cancer studies with a site in Massachusetts, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a metastatic breast cancer study in Massachusetts?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Massachusetts to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Massachusetts, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a metastatic breast cancer trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
