Commack, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06582771RecruitingPhase 2
Testing sotorasib for untreated lung cancer with KRAS G12C mutation
This trial tests an oral targeted drug called sotorasib for people with a specific type of advanced lung cancer (KRAS G12C mutation) who have not had any prior treatment for their advanced disease. It aims to see if this drug can shrink tumors and help patients without using standard chemotherapy or immunotherapy first.
Commack, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06741085RecruitingPhase 2
Radiosurgery plus standard care for lung cancer spread to brain
This trial tests if adding stereotactic radiosurgery (focused radiation) to standard drug therapy is safe and effective for people with EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to the brain. It aims to improve control of brain metastases while continuing targeted therapy.
Rockville Centre, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06876831Recruiting
Lung cancer screening for current and recent smokers
This study aims to create a program to help people get screened for lung cancer while they are in the hospital. It is for people who are at higher risk due to their age and smoking history.
New York, New YorkAges 50–80 - NCT07501689Recruiting
Cancer education study for NYC middle school students
This study uses science teachers to teach middle school students about cancer health disparities. It aims to increase awareness and reduce cancer risks in certain NYC communities.
Brooklyn, New YorkAges 10 years+ - NCT07212166Recruiting
Questionnaires for teens and young adults with cancer
This study asks teens and young adults with cancer to fill out questionnaires about their experience. The answers may help improve care and support for people their age.
Commack, New YorkAges 15–39 - NCT05176483RecruitingPhase 1
New drug combinations for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called zanzalintinib, which may slow or shrink various types of advanced cancer. It is given together with other cancer treatments, and the study is looking at many different cancers including kidney, prostate, bladder, lung, liver, and more.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07200830RecruitingPhase 3
Testing different schedules of a targeted radiation drug for advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests two different dosing schedules of a drug called Lutetium-177 PSMA RLT, which delivers radiation directly to prostate cancer cells. It is for men with advanced prostate cancer that has stopped responding to hormone therapy and has spread, who have not yet had chemotherapy for this stage of the disease.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT01639508RecruitingPhase 2
Cabozantinib for lung cancer with specific gene changes
This trial studies how well cabozantinib works in advanced lung cancer when the tumor has certain gene changes (like RET, ROS1, NTRK, MET, or AXL). It may help slow tumor growth after standard treatments, depending on your tumor test results.
Commack, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT02507141Recruiting
Check oral cancer images during surgery using a special camera
This study tests whether a special in-mouth imaging tool can capture clear images of oral cancer before surgery, compared with the final lab diagnosis from tissue (pathology). If the images match the pathology, it could help doctors better assess tumors using real-time imaging.
Harrison, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05564377RecruitingPhase 2
Find targeted cancer treatments using genetic testing
This study matches people with advanced solid tumors to targeted treatment plans based on genetic testing. It also requires tumor sample testing to help doctors choose the most promising therapy for your specific tumor changes.
Buffalo, New YorkAges Any age - NCT04706663Recruiting
Genomics-guided treatment for people with prostate cancer
This trial uses genetic test results from your prostate cancer to guide treatment choices. It may help find therapies that better match the specific gene changes in your cancer.

What taking part in a 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.

Common questions
- Are there cancer clinical trials in New York?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 1,364 recruiting cancer studies with a site in New York, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a cancer study in New York?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in New York to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in New York, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a cancer trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
Not the right time?
