BreastCancerTrials.org
BreastCancerTrials.org is a free, patient-friendly, non-profit clinical trial matching service that helps people with any stage of breast cancer learn about and find clinical trials that are right for them. BreastCancerTrials.org lists over 700 clinical trials that are actively recruiting patients in the United States. Developed in 2008, the mission of BreastCancerTrials.org is to accelerate breast cancer research by making patient consideration of clinical trials the norm vs. the exception.

BreastCancerTrials.org is a program of Quantum Leap Healthcare Collaborative, a non-profit organization.

Metastatic Trial Search
Metastatic Trial Search is a free, patient-friendly, non-profit clinical trial matching service designed specifically for people with metastatic breast cancer. Metastatic Trial Search displays trial information in plain language, making it easier to find a trial that’s right for you. Developed in 2015 by BreastCancerTrials.org in collaboration with five breast cancer advocacy organizations, Metastatic Trial Search can now be found on many partner websites.

Metastatic Trial Talk
Because it can be hard to find and understand up-to-date research news, BreastCancerTrials.org publishes the monthly newsletter Metastatic Trial Talk: a one-stop resource for all topics related to metastatic breast cancer research and clinical trials, with different topics and new clinical trials published monthly.

 When We Tri(al)
This is our movement to advance breast cancer science for Black women. Because the vast majority of people who participate in clinical trials are white, there simply is not enough research about how breast cancer treatments work for Black women, or how we experience breast cancer differently. We deserve better. When We Tri(al) is a call to action for our fierce, resilient community of Black women.
