Recruiting studies in Minnesota
- NCT07085767RecruitingPhase 3
Palazestrant and ribociclib for first-line advanced breast cancer
This trial tests a new drug (palazestrant) combined with ribociclib for people with a common type of advanced breast cancer that is estrogen receptor-positive and HER2-negative. You may qualify if you haven't had treatment for advanced disease and your cancer has either just been found or came back long after completing hormone therapy.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - 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.
Bemidji, MinnesotaAges Any age - NCT04521764RecruitingPhase 1
Vaccine for Metastatic Breast Cancer
This trial tests a vaccine (MV-s-NAP) that is injected directly into a tumor to stimulate your immune system against breast cancer. It is for people with metastatic breast cancer that has spread despite prior treatments.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07340541RecruitingPhase 2
Personalized cancer therapy trial based on tumor markers
This trial tests new treatments that are chosen based on specific markers in your tumor. Researchers want to see if these personalized therapies work better than standard options.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT05868226RecruitingPhase 1
Early cancer drug study for adults with advanced tumors
This Phase 1 study tests early (first-in-program) cancer medicines in people whose cancer has not been adequately controlled. It helps researchers learn the safest dose and early signs of whether the treatment may work for different tumor types and treatments.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06055881Recruiting
Using radiation to delay changing treatment for breast cancer
This trial tests whether giving radiation to a few growing spots (1-3) can let you stay on your current drug longer, instead of switching to a new one right away. It's for people with metastatic breast cancer whose disease has been stable for months but now shows limited progression.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06072612RecruitingPhase 3
Bria-IMT plus CPI vs standard care for advanced breast cancer
This trial tests a new combination of two immunotherapy drugs (Bria-IMT and a checkpoint inhibitor) against your doctor's choice of standard treatments. It is for people with advanced breast cancer that has spread and who have already tried several prior therapies.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06217874Recruiting
Collecting Samples and Data for Recurrent or Metastatic Breast Cancer
This study collects tissue samples and health information from people with breast cancer that has spread or come back. It aims to help researchers learn more about the disease and may lead to better treatments.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06349642Recruiting
Testing a live tumor test for immune therapy response
This trial uses a special test on live tumor samples to see if it can predict how well immune checkpoint inhibitors (a type of immunotherapy) will work for different cancers. It may help doctors choose the best treatment for you.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06500455RecruitingPhase 3
Standard vs longer radiation for brain metastases
This trial compares the usual short course of radiation therapy (one session) to a longer course (up to 5 sessions) for people with cancer that has spread to the brain. The goal is to see if the longer course works better and causes fewer side effects.
Chaska, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06500481RecruitingPhase 3
Proton vs standard radiation for cancer spread to brain/spine lining
This trial compares a newer type of radiation (proton therapy) to standard radiation for people whose breast or lung cancer has spread to the lining of the brain and spinal cord. It aims to see if proton therapy can better control the disease while causing fewer side effects.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06764095RecruitingPhase 4
Drug combo before bladder or ureter surgery for advanced cancer
This trial tests two drugs, enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab, given before surgery to remove the bladder or ureter in people with advanced bladder or upper urinary tract cancer that has spread to lymph nodes or other organs. The goal is to see if this treatment helps shrink the cancer and improves outcomes.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06997068RecruitingPhase 2
Drug combination for returning head and neck cancer
This trial tests a combination of three drugs—methotrexate, erlotinib, and celecoxib—for people whose head and neck cancer has come back or spread. It is designed for patients in the rural Midwest who have already had or chosen not to have standard first treatment.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT02945579Recruiting
Testing skipping breast surgery or radiation for top responders
This trial studies whether some people with early-stage breast cancer who respond extremely well to hormone/chemo/targeted treatment can safely skip breast surgery and/or radiation. It aims to reduce side effects without increasing cancer risk in carefully selected patients.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 30 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.
Brainerd, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT03418961RecruitingPhase 3
Study of heart-risk management for metastatic HER2 breast cancer
This trial follows people with metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer who are at higher risk for heart damage while on HER2-targeted therapy. Some participants are randomly assigned to different monitoring/heart-protection approaches to see what best helps keep the heart safe.
Duluth, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06058377RecruitingPhase 3
Adding immunotherapy to chemo for stage II-III breast cancer
This trial tests whether adding the immunotherapy drug durvalumab to standard chemotherapy works better than chemo alone for people with hormone receptor positive, HER2 negative breast cancer that is stage II or III and has a high-risk genetic score (MammaPrint High Risk 2).
Brainerd, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07087860RecruitingPhase 2
Plasma exchange plus targeted therapy for advanced bladder cancer
This trial tests a procedure called therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) combined with the drugs enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab for people with advanced bladder cancer that has stopped responding to standard treatments. The goal is to see if TPE helps the drugs work better.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06524544RecruitingPhase 3
Pembrolizumab and sacituzumab govitecan for advanced bladder cancer
This trial tests a new drug combination (pembrolizumab and sacituzumab govitecan) against standard treatment for advanced bladder cancer that has spread or cannot be removed by surgery. It's for people who have already tried an immunotherapy drug like pembrolizumab and another drug called enfortumab vedotin.
Brainerd, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT05696626RecruitingPhase 3
Test a new pill plus abemaciclib versus standard therapy
This Phase 3 study compares lasofoxifene plus abemaciclib versus fulvestrant plus abemaciclib for ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer that has an ESR1 mutation. It looks for better tumor control in people whose cancer has progressed on hormone therapy (an aromatase inhibitor) and who meet specific safety and testing requirements.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT05863195RecruitingPhase 3
Pump chemotherapy plus standard chemo for liver-only colorectal spread
This study tests adding a chemotherapy “pump” directly into the liver along with standard chemotherapy, compared with standard chemotherapy alone. It’s for adults with colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver but cannot be surgically removed, and who are responding to first chemotherapy.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06104618RecruitingPhase 2
Enfortumab vedotin for advanced penile cancer
This trial tests a drug called enfortumab vedotin for people with advanced penile cancer (squamous cell carcinoma) that has spread or cannot be surgically removed. The goal is to see if the drug can shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT05812807RecruitingPhase 3
Pembrolizumab versus monitoring after triple-negative breast cancer response
This trial checks whether giving pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy) after surgery helps people with triple-negative breast cancer reduce the chance of the cancer coming back, compared with close monitoring only. It’s for patients who had no remaining invasive cancer after neoadjuvant chemotherapy plus pembrolizumab.
Bemidji, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT05417867Recruiting
Tracking gut bacteria changes and nausea during chemo
This study looks at how changes in the gut “microbiome” (your gut bacteria) relate to fatigue and chemotherapy-induced nausea in people with early-stage breast cancer. It may help doctors better understand why nausea and fatigue happen and how to predict or manage them during treatment.

What taking part in a metastatic breast carcinoma 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.
