Hackensack, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07776613RecruitingPhase 2
Bone strengthening drug for breast cancer with osteoporosis
This study tests a new drug called romosozumab, which may help strengthen bones and reduce fractures in people with breast cancer that has spread to the bones and who also have osteoporosis. If you are on hormone therapy and have weak bones, this could help protect your bones.

Study of new drug combo for KRAS G12C colorectal cancer
This trial tests a new combination of drugs (sotorasib, panitumumab, and FOLFIRI) against the standard treatment for colorectal cancer that has spread. It's for people whose tumor has a specific KRAS G12C mutation and who have not had chemotherapy before for advanced disease.
Mickleton, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07751159RecruitingPhase 2

Middletown, New JerseyAges Any age - NCT07392892RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Study of PF-08634404 plus chemo for stomach and esophagus cancer
This trial tests a new study drug called PF-08634404 in combination with standard chemotherapy for people with stomach, gastroesophageal junction, or esophagus cancer that has spread. It aims to see if adding this drug helps the treatment work better.
Morristown, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - 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.
Hackensack, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07053085RecruitingPhase 2
Surgery or radiation for stable HER2+ breast cancer spread
This study tests whether combining surgery or strong focused radiation with standard treatment can help people whose HER2-positive breast cancer has spread to a few spots (5 or fewer) in the body, but not the brain. It's for patients whose cancer is stable after at least 3 months of first-line therapy.

What taking part in a metastatic 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.
