- NCT05812807RecruitingPhase 3
Pembrolizumab versus monitoring after triple-negative breast cancer response

AI matches your cancer tests to possible treatment trials
This trial uses an AI system to help match people with certain cancer types and specific tumor test results (like gene or protein markers) to relevant clinical trials. It may help you and your doctor find studies that fit your cancer biology faster.
Silver Spring, MarylandAges Any age - 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.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT04222413RecruitingPhase 1
Study of metarrestin for advanced solid tumors
This study tests an experimental drug called metarrestin for people with solid tumors that have spread or come back after standard treatment. It may help by targeting a protein involved in cancer cell growth.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 12–120 - NCT07067138Recruiting
Genetic testing to guide treatment for advanced breast cancer
This study looks at the genes in your cancer to find a treatment that might work better for you. It tests your tumor sample to match you with a drug that targets your cancer's specific weaknesses.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT05660083RecruitingPhase 2
Study of alpelisib plus iNOS inhibitor with nab-paclitaxel
This Phase 2 trial tests whether a combination of medicines can shrink and control HER2-negative metaplastic breast cancer that cannot be removed with surgery (locally advanced) or has spread (metastatic). It may help people whose cancer has specific lab/pathology features, and it also checks safety and how well the treatment works in the body.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06176989RecruitingPhase 2
Enasidenib for IDH2-mutated sinonasal and skull base tumors
This trial tests an oral targeted therapy called enasidenib for people with rare head and neck cancers that have an IDH2 gene mutation. The goal is to see if this drug can shrink or slow the growth of these tumors.
