METASTATIC BREAST CARCINOMA

This phase III trial tests whether proton craniospinal irradiation (pCSI) can improve survival compared to standard involved-field radiation therapy (IFRT) for patients with breast or non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to the lining of the brain and spinal cord (leptomeni…

This study compares two drugs, leuprolide and goserelin, to see how well they lower estrogen levels in premenopausal women with breast cancer. Both drugs work by temporarily stopping the ovaries from making estrogen, which can fuel cancer growth. The trial will enroll 75 women an…

This Phase III trial tests whether giving radiation in three smaller doses (FSRS) works better than a single large dose (SRS) for cancer that has spread to the brain. About 269 adults with lung, breast, melanoma, kidney, or gastrointestinal cancers will be randomly assigned to on…

This phase 2 trial is testing the drug talazoparib in people with advanced solid tumors that have specific mutations in DNA repair genes. Talazoparib works by blocking a protein called PARP, which cancer cells use to fix their damaged DNA, leading to cancer cell death. The study …

This early-phase study tests the safety and best dose of two drugs, ZEN003694 and abemaciclib, given together. It is for people with advanced breast cancer, NUT carcinoma, or other solid tumors that have spread or cannot be removed by surgery. The goal is to see if the combinatio…

This phase 2 trial is testing a type of radiation called craniospinal irradiation that avoids the hippocampus, a brain area key for memory. It is for people with breast or lung cancer that has spread to the fluid and lining around the brain and spinal cord. The goal is to see if …

This early-phase trial tests the safety and best dose of a new drug combination—pidnarulex plus trastuzumab deruxtecan—in people with advanced breast cancer and other solid tumors that have the HER2 protein. The study enrolls 36 adults whose cancer has spread or cannot be surgica…

This phase 2 trial tests whether specially selected immune cells taken from a patient's own tumor, grown in large numbers in the lab, and given back along with the drug pembrolizumab (Keytruda) can shrink tumors in people with metastatic colorectal, pancreatic, ovarian, breast, o…

This phase II trial is testing a radioactive drug called 177Lu-DOTATATE in 10 people with stage IV or recurrent breast cancer. The drug seeks out cancer cells that have a specific receptor (SSTR2) and delivers radiation to kill them. The goal is to see if it can shrink tumors and…

This phase 2 trial tests whether combining an immunotherapy drug (cemiplimab) with a radiation treatment (Y90 radioembolization) can help people whose breast cancer has spread to the liver. The treatment aims to boost the immune system to attack tumors while also delivering radia…

This phase 2 trial is testing the safety of abemaciclib (Verzenio) combined with hormone therapy in people aged 70 and older with hormone receptor-positive metastatic breast cancer that has worsened after prior treatment with a similar drug. The study will enroll 43 participants …

This study tests whether giving a precise, high-dose radiation treatment called SBRT to one growing tumor can help people with metastatic breast cancer keep their disease under control. Participants continue their usual drug therapy while receiving SBRT to a single site where can…

This phase 2 trial tests whether adding cediranib or ceralasertib to olaparib can overcome resistance in BRCA-mutated advanced breast cancer. About 60 participants with HER2-negative, BRCA-positive tumors that have progressed on prior therapy will receive one of the two drug comb…

This early-phase trial tests a wearable device that creates electric fields (tumor treating fields) combined with either cabozantinib or nab-paclitaxel and atezolizumab in 43 people with advanced solid tumors in the abdomen or chest. The goal is to find the safest dose and see if…

This Phase II trial tests whether a precise type of radiation called photon VMAT craniospinal irradiation can help people with breast or lung cancer that has spread to the fluid and lining around the brain and spinal cord. About 35 adults with this condition will receive radiatio…

This study tests whether precise radiation (SBRT) can treat a few growing tumors in patients with ER+ breast cancer that has spread, allowing them to continue their current medication longer. About 18 adults with limited disease progression will receive SBRT and be monitored. The…

This pilot study tests a special PET/MRI scan that uses a radioactive tracer to find HER2+ breast cancer that has spread to the brain. The scan aims to show whether the cancer cells take up the tracer, which might predict if they will respond to the standard drug trastuzumab deru…

This study compares two types of PET scans to see which is better at finding and tracking metastatic lobular breast cancer. About 30 adults with this type of cancer will receive both an experimental FES PET/CT scan and a standard FDG PET/CT scan. The goal is to improve detection …

This study looks at whether a program called 'Couples Coping Together Against Cancer' is helpful and practical for people with advanced cancers like stage IV breast cancer, glioblastoma, or lung cancer, and their partners. Researchers at City of Hope will enroll 160 couples to se…

This study uses a special microscope called intravital microscopy to look at blood vessels inside solid tumors while patients are in surgery. Researchers want to see how these vessels work and how well they let blood and dye flow through. The goal is to learn whether tumor vessel…

This study is looking at whether a blood test called DiviTum TKa can predict when hormone-receptor-positive, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer stops responding to treatment. About 100 participants will give blood samples before and during their standard therapy. The goal is …

This study is testing a new radioactive tracer called [18F]FTT to see if it can help doctors see how well standard treatments are working in people with metastatic breast cancer. The tracer attaches to a protein in cancer cells and shows up on a PET scan. About 22 participants wi…

This early study tests if a portable device that creates electric fields is safe and practical for people with breast or lung cancer that has spread to the lining of the spine. Only 5 participants will wear the device for at least 28 days. The goal is to see if the treatment is t…

This study looks at what helps and what is hard for people with advanced breast cancer, and what kind of support they still need. Researchers will talk to 50 patients and review their medical records to understand their experiences. The goal is to learn how to improve care and su…

This study collects tumor samples and medical information from 2000 people with breast cancer that has spread or come back. The goal is to create a resource for researchers to learn more about how the disease progresses and responds to treatments. No new treatments are tested her…

This study follows 700 adults with advanced or metastatic breast cancer who are taking CDK4/6 inhibitors (ciclib drugs). Researchers collect blood, tissue, and fluid samples to understand how the cancer responds, why resistance develops, and how well patients do over time. The go…
