New York, New YorkAges 35 years+ - NCT05168163RecruitingPhase 2
Atezolizumab plus targeted drug for advanced liver cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether atezolizumab combined with a multi-targeted (“multi-kinase”) inhibitor can treat advanced liver cancer that cannot be cured with surgery or local procedures. It focuses on people whose cancer has already grown despite a first-line treatment using atezolizumab plus bevacizumab.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05174286Recruiting
Phone-based coaching to help prevent colon cancer and heart disease
This study uses community health worker support by phone to help people at higher risk stay on top of recommended screening. It may help reduce colorectal cancer risk and also improve heart health.
New York, New YorkAges 45 years+ - NCT03706027Recruiting
Compare two radiation timing plans for early lung cancer
This trial tests whether two different schedules (timing) of radiation have different side effects in people with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. It may help reduce or better understand treatment toxicity while still treating the cancer.
Rochester, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05128825RecruitingPhase 2
Azenosertib for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer with cyclin e1
This trial tests a new pill called azenosertib (ZN-c3) for ovarian cancer that stopped responding to platinum chemotherapy. The drug targets tumors with high levels of the Cyclin E1 protein, and the goal is to see if it can shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
Manhasset, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05099172RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Targeted therapy for advanced lung cancer with EGFR or HER2 changes
This trial tests a new targeted drug for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has specific genetic changes (EGFR or HER2). The drug may slow cancer growth and help you live longer.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05134779Recruiting
Study aims to tailor cancer treatment to your biology

New York, New YorkAges 18–90 - NCT05076942RecruitingPhase 2
Study of sentinel lymph nodes in vulvar cancer
This Phase 2 study looks at how vulvar squamous cell cancer (SCC) spreads to the sentinel lymph node, and how findings may guide treatment. It focuses on specific early-stage tumor features and requires that cancer is found in the sentinel lymph node.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05061550RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted immune-plus-chemo treatment before and after lung surgery
This trial studies whether adding immune treatment and chemotherapy around the time of lung tumor removal improves outcomes for people with operable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). You may qualify if your cancer can be surgically removed and your tumor tests meet required biomarker rules.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18–95 - NCT05059444Recruiting
Blood test to catch cancer early after treatment
This study looks for signs of cancer left in the body after treatment using a simple blood test (called a liquid biopsy). It aims to see if the test can catch cancer that might come back earlier than regular scans.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05024097RecruitingPhase 2
New medicines with chemotherapy after short radiation for rectal 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.
