Phase 3 Trials
Hormone Therapy
Giredestrant + Palbociclib vs Letrozole + Palbociclib for Breast Cancer
Recruiting1 awardPhase 3
Houston, Texas
This trial will compare two treatments for breast cancer: giredestrant with palbociclib, and letrozole with palbociclib. The trial will measure how well the treatments work and how safe they are.
Monoclonal Antibodies
Trastuzumab Deruxtecan for Breast Cancer
Recruiting2 awardsPhase 3
Houston, Texas
This trial is testing a new drug called trastuzumab deruxtecan for patients with advanced breast cancer that hasn't responded to other treatments. The drug works by specifically targeting and killing cancer cells. The study aims to see if this drug helps patients live longer or improves their quality of life compared to other treatments. Trastuzumab deruxtecan has shown significant clinical benefits in treating advanced breast cancer and other similar tumors.
Trials With No Placebo
Small Molecule Inhibitor
CYT-0851 for Cancer
Recruiting3 awardsPhase 1 & 2
Houston, Texas
This trial is testing a new drug called CYT-0851 in patients with certain types of cancer that have not responded to other treatments. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and understand how it works in the body.
PARP Inhibitor
Talazoparib for Breast Cancer
Recruiting1 awardPhase 2
Houston, Texas
This trial is testing talazoparib, a drug that may help treat breast cancer that has spread and has specific genetic mutations (BRCA 1 or BRCA 2). Talazoparib works by stopping proteins that repair DNA, making it harder for cancer cells to survive. The goal is to see if this drug can reduce tumor size and slow down cancer growth in these patients. Talazoparib is a new treatment recently approved for use in patients with metastatic breast cancer with germline BRCA mutations.
Procedure
Surgical Procedure for Breast Cancer
Recruiting1 award1 criteria
Houston, Texas
This trial is testing how well an investigational surgery called vascularized lymph node transfer works in lowering the risk of arm swelling (lymphedema) in patients with breast cancer who are undergoing breast reconstruction.
Procedure
Lymphovenous Bypass Procedure for Breast Cancer
Recruiting2 awards4 criteria
Houston, Texas
This trial studies whether a surgical procedure called lymphovenous bypass can prevent arm swelling in patients with certain types of breast cancer or melanoma. The surgery creates a new path for fluid to move away from the arms, which may help stop swelling before it starts. Lymphovenous bypass is a surgical procedure that has been used to treat lymphedema by creating a new pathway for lymphatic fluid to drain, potentially reducing swelling.
Carvedilol for Cardiomyopathy in Breast Cancer Patients
Recruiting1 awardPhase 2
Houston, Texas
This trial is testing whether a beta blocker called carvedilol can help protect the hearts of breast cancer patients taking trastuzumab-based HER2-directed therapy, either by starting it when significant heart function decline or early signs of heart injury are noted, or preventatively before beginning trastuzumab-based therapy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need insurance to participate in a trial?
Almost all clinical trials will cover the cost of the 'trial drug' — so no insurance is required for this. For trials where this trial drug is given alongside an already-approved medication, there may be a cost (which your insurance would normally cover).
Is there any support for travel costs?
Many of the teams running clinical trials will cover the cost of transportation to-and-from their care center.
Will I know what medication I am taking?
This depends on the specific study. If you're worried about receiving a placebo, you can actively filter out these trials using our search.
How long do clinical trials last?
Some trials will only require a single visit, while others will continue until your disease returns. It's fairly common for a trial to last somewhere between 1 and 6 months.
Do you verify all the trials on your website?
All of the trials listed on Power have been formally registered with the US Food and Drug Administration. Beyond this, some trials on Power have been formally 'verified' if the team behind the trial has completed an additional level of verification with our team.
How quickly will I hear back from a clinical trial?
Sadly, this response time can take anywhere from 6 hours to 2 weeks. We're working hard to speed up how quickly you hear back — in general, verified trials respond to patients within a few days.
