Recruiting studies
- NCT05601440RecruitingPhase 2
Trial for metastatic breast cancer that resisted CDK4/6 treatment
This Phase 2 study tests treatments guided by blood testing (“liquid biopsy”) in people with hormone receptor–positive, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer that has progressed after standard CDK4/6 medicine plus hormone therapy. It aims to find a better way to control cancer after the first treatment stops working.
Calgary, AlbertaAges Any age - NCT05608252RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Drug combination for advanced ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer
This Phase 1/2 study tests how well a new treatment combination (VS-6766, abemaciclib, and fulvestrant) works for metastatic or hard-to-remove breast cancer that is hormone-driven (ER/PR positive) and HER2 negative. It is mainly designed to find the safest dose and then see whether it can control the cancer after it has progressed on certain prior medicines.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05592938Recruiting
Partial breast re-irradiation for cancer recurrence
This trial tests a shorter course of radiation to only the part of the breast where cancer has come back. It's for women who had radiation years ago and now have a small new or recurrent tumor that can be removed by surgery.
New York, New YorkAges 18–99 - NCT05564377RecruitingPhase 2
Find targeted cancer treatments using genetic testing
This study matches people with advanced solid tumors to targeted treatment plans based on genetic testing. It also requires tumor sample testing to help doctors choose the most promising therapy for your specific tumor changes.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Any age - NCT05570253RecruitingPhase 2
SDX-7320 plus eribulin for metastatic triple-negative breast cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding SDX-7320 to eribulin can work better for people with triple-negative metastatic breast cancer. It focuses on patients who have had prior chemotherapy and who also show signs of metabolic imbalance such as higher body weight or higher HbA1c.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05575804RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
GQ1001 plus pyrotinib for HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer
This trial tests a combination of two targeted drugs, GQ1001 and pyrotinib, for people with HER2-positive breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body and has not responded to at least one prior treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05573893Recruiting
Real-world study of trastuzumab deruxtecan for HER2 breast cancer
This study looks at how people feel (patient-reported outcomes) and their real-world health data while they receive trastuzumab deruxtecan for advanced HER2-positive, HER2-low, or HER2-ultralow breast cancer. It helps researchers understand what outcomes happen outside of tightly controlled clinical trials.
AmbergAges 18–130 - NCT05573126RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of EP0062 for advanced breast cancer with AR+ and ER+
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+ - NCT05579366RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of rinatabart sesutecan for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests an investigational drug called rinatabart sesutecan (also known as Rina-S) for people with advanced solid tumors, including ovarian, endometrial, lung, breast, and other cancers. The drug is designed to target and kill cancer cells, and the study aims to see if it is safe and effective.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04965064RecruitingPhase 2
Neratinib plus capecitabine for HER2-negative breast cancer brain mets
This study tests whether neratinib plus capecitabine can slow or shrink breast cancer that has spread to the brain. It is for people whose cancer shows an “overactive HER2 signal” on a specific tumor test, even though their cancer is labeled HER2-negative.
Rochester, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05534438RecruitingPhase 2
Tested targeted radiation plus usual drug treatment in metastatic breast cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding a very focused type of radiation to standard drug treatment can better control metastatic breast cancer. It is for people whose cancer is only progressing in one spot, seen on a PET scan.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05505643Recruiting
Cryoablation versus lumpectomy for early breast cancer
This trial compares two ways to remove early-stage breast tumors: freezing (cryoablation) or surgery (lumpectomy). It may help find which option works as well or better for cancer control while keeping the breast looking more natural for some people.
St Louis, MissouriAges 50 years+ - NCT05524584RecruitingPhase 2
Anastrozole, fulvestrant, and abemaciclib for hormone-positive breast cancer
This trial tests whether combining three medicines can better control hormone-receptor–positive, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer that cannot be cured with surgery or radiation. It may help shrink tumors and slow disease growth compared with standard hormone therapy approaches.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05512364RecruitingPhase 3
Elacestrant for ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer with ctDNA relapse
This trial tests whether elacestrant can help stop or delay breast cancer coming back in people whose blood test shows “ctDNA relapse” after early breast cancer treatment. It’s meant for hormone receptor–positive, HER2-negative breast cancer patients who are already taking hormone (endocrine) therapy and have no visible spread on scans.
AnderlechtAges 18 years+ - NCT04563507RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus hormone therapy for metastatic ER-positive breast cancer
This Phase 2 study tests a combination of immune-based treatments along with hormone (endocrine) therapy to slow or shrink advanced, hormone-receptor positive, HER2-negative breast cancer. You may be a candidate if your cancer has progressed after standard hormone-blocking medicines and you can start treatment with CDK4/6 medicine plus an aromatase inhibitor.
New York, New YorkAges 18–90 - NCT05461768RecruitingPhase 1
BL-M07D1 for HER2-positive or HER2-low breast cancer
This Phase 1 study tests BL-M07D1, a new investigational medicine, in people with HER2-positive or HER2-low breast cancer (and other solid tumors) that can’t be operated on or has spread. It aims to find a safe dose and learn how well the treatment may work based on HER2 levels in tumor tissue.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–75 - NCT05470348RecruitingPhase 1
Test drug BL-B01D1 for advanced breast and other solid cancers
This Phase 1 trial tests BL-B01D1 in people with advanced (unresectable or metastatic) breast cancer and certain other solid tumors that have not worked with standard treatment. The goal is to learn if the drug can be given safely and to see whether it shows signs of benefit.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05483491RecruitingPhase 1
TCR cell therapy for select metastatic cancers
This Phase 1 trial tests a personalized immune-cell treatment (TCR-T cells) for certain metastatic cancers. It targets cancers that carry a specific marker and requires patients to have a specific immune-system match, aiming to improve cancer control when standard options were already tried.
New Brunswick, New JerseyAges 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+ - NCT05467891RecruitingPhase 2
Ribociclib plus hormone therapy for recurrent breast cancer
This trial tests whether adding ribociclib (a targeted pill) to hormone therapy can control breast cancer that has come back in the breast area or nearby lymph nodes/chest wall. It targets hormone-receptor–positive and HER2-negative tumors to help slow disease after local treatment.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05491226RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab plus radiation and myeloid-targeting for high-risk breast cancer
This trial studies whether adding pembrolizumab (an immune “unlocking” drug) to radiation and another treatment that targets certain immune cells can improve outcomes for women with high-risk, early-stage triple negative breast cancer. You may be considered if your cancer has signs that it may respond less to immunotherapy on its own.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04722978RecruitingPhase 3
Chemo plus moxifloxacin for metastatic triple-negative breast cancer
This trial tests whether adding moxifloxacin (an antibiotic) to standard chemotherapy helps people with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer live longer or respond better. You may qualify if your cancer has the right lab markers and you haven’t had treatment for metastatic disease yet.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT05422794RecruitingPhase 1
Adding a new drug plus pembrolizumab to standard chemo for TNBC
This trial studies whether adding a new anti-cancer drug (ZEN-3694) and the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab to standard chemotherapy (nab-paclitaxel) can work better for advanced triple-negative breast cancer. It’s testing safety first (Phase 1) and, for some patients, how well the treatment controls the cancer.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05455619RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Targeted drugs for PI3K-altered, HR+/HER2- breast cancer
This Phase 1/2 trial tests how well a combination of targeted medicines works for advanced or returning HR+/HER2- breast cancer that has a PI3K pathway change (such as PIK3CA, PTEN, or AKT1). It may help by blocking growth signals in the cancer and is especially for people whose cancer has progressed after hormone therapy and a CDK4/6 inhibitor.
