Recruiting studies in North Carolina
- NCT06841354RecruitingPhase 3
Sac-TMT alone or with pembrolizumab for advanced triple-negative breast cancer
This trial tests a new drug, Sac-TMT, given alone or with an immunotherapy drug (pembrolizumab) for people with advanced triple-negative breast cancer who have not yet received any treatment for advanced disease. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
Garner, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06926868RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Study of a new drug versus chemotherapy for advanced triple-negative breast cancer
This trial tests a new investigational drug called izalontamab brengitecan against standard chemotherapy for people with advanced triple-negative breast cancer who cannot receive immunotherapy. The goal is to see if the new drug works better at shrinking or slowing the cancer.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06393374RecruitingPhase 3
Study of a new drug combination for residual TNBC after initial treatment
This trial tests a new combination of two drugs (sacituzumab tirumotecan and pembrolizumab) compared to standard chemotherapy for people with triple-negative breast cancer that did not fully respond to initial treatment. It aims to see if this combination helps prevent cancer from coming back.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06176261RecruitingPhase 2
Datopotamab deruxtecan for breast cancer with brain spread
This trial tests a new drug called datopotamab deruxtecan for people with HER2-negative breast cancer that has spread to the brain. It looks at how well the drug works against brain metastases.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05812807RecruitingPhase 3
Pembrolizumab versus monitoring after triple-negative breast cancer response

Hendersonville, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT07173751RecruitingPhase 3
Pumitamig for advanced triple-negative breast cancer
This study tests a new drug called pumitamig for people with a type of breast cancer that is triple-negative or has very low hormone receptors and has come back or spread. It aims to see if pumitamig works better than standard treatment and how safe it is for people who cannot get PD(L)-1 immunotherapy with chemo.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 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.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05633654RecruitingPhase 3
Test drug combo versus standard care for triple-negative breast cancer
This trial tests a cancer antibody-drug combination plus pembrolizumab (immunotherapy) versus standard treatment. It’s for people with triple-negative breast cancer that still has invasive disease in the breast or lymph nodes after surgery and chemotherapy before surgery.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT03606967RecruitingPhase 2
Individualized vaccine added to standard treatment for metastatic triple-negative breast cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding a personalized cancer vaccine to durvalumab (an immunotherapy), tremelimumab (another immunotherapy), and chemotherapy can improve outcomes for people with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer. It may help your immune system recognize your specific tumor features.
Clemmons, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT04468061RecruitingPhase 2
Study chemo drug plus immunotherapy for metastatic triple-negative breast cancer
This trial tests sacituzumab govitecan (an antibody-drug medicine) with or without pembrolizumab (an immune-system therapy) in people with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer. It may help by shrinking tumors and improving immune control, especially for patients with specific tumor marker results.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT04585750RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug for TP53 Y220C-mutated advanced cancers
This early-phase study tests PC14586 (rezatapopt) in people with advanced or metastatic solid cancers that carry a specific TP53 mutation called Y220C. It mainly looks at safety and how well the treatment may work, sometimes combined with pembrolizumab.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 12 years+ - NCT04677816RecruitingPhase 2
Vitamin D supplements for triple-negative breast cancer before surgery
This trial tests whether taking high-dose vitamin D during pre-surgery (neoadjuvant) chemotherapy can increase the chance of having no remaining cancer found at surgery. It focuses on people with vitamin D deficiency and triple-negative breast cancer.
Winston-Salem, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05005403RecruitingPhase 1
Testing azirkitug for lung, head/neck, and other solid cancers
This Phase 1 study tests how a new medicine (azirkitug) behaves in the body and how safe it is, given by IV infusion alone or with other cancer drugs. It may help people with several advanced solid tumor cancers, especially after standard treatments have stopped working.
Huntersville, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05029999RecruitingPhase 1
Test drugs for HER2-negative advanced breast cancer
This Phase 1 trial tests a combination of immune-targeting drugs (a CD40 medicine and a substance that helps immune cells act) plus chemotherapy in people with HER2-negative advanced breast cancer that has progressed. It aims to find a safer dose and see whether the treatment can shrink tumors or slow the cancer.

What taking part in a triple negative 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.
