The Bronx, New YorkAges 18–75 - NCT05489783Recruiting
Study board for adults with NF1 and glioma
This study collects and reviews past and future health records for adults who have both neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) and a brain tumor called glioma. The goal is to better understand these conditions and how they progress, which can help guide future research and care.
Commack, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05496829Recruiting
Improving how people take breast-cancer and heart medicines
This trial tests an intervention to help improve how equitably people take their prescribed breast cancer hormone therapy and heart-related prevention medicines. It may help if you have had trouble taking these medications as directed.
New York, New YorkAges 18–99 - NCT05498428RecruitingPhase 2
Amivantamab for advanced lung cancer with EGFR mutations
This Phase 2 study tests amivantamab (an antibody medicine) in people with advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer that has specific EGFR gene changes. It may help shrink tumors or control cancer when standard curative treatments aren’t possible.
East Syracuse, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05561387RecruitingPhase 3
Drug combinations for newly diagnosed myeloma without transplant
This study compares different combinations of medicines for people newly diagnosed with multiple myeloma who cannot safely get a stem cell transplant. It aims to find which drug plan works best and is tolerable for people with “frail” or “intermediate fit” health.
Rochester, New YorkAges Any age - NCT05583708RecruitingPhase 2
Trial tests targeted radiation plus immunotherapy after anti–PD-1 failure
This Phase 2 trial studies whether peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (targeted radiation) combined with immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) can shrink Merkel cell cancer after it has grown despite anti–PD-1/L1 treatment. It may help people whose cancer has specific receptors that make them eligible for the targeted radiation.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05589818RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab for advanced lung cancer without key gene targets
This Phase 2 trial studies pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy drug) in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer whose disease can’t be treated with curative surgery or combined chemoradiation. It aims to see how well the treatment works and how safely it can be given, especially for people who have not had other cancer medicines for metastatic disease.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05629494RecruitingPhase 4
Ibuprofen vs PSA blood test for prostate evaluation
This trial studies whether an anti-inflammatory medicine (ibuprofen) changes prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test results to help decide on next diagnostic steps like MRI or biopsy. It may help people with an elevated PSA understand whether follow-up testing is more or less likely to be needed.
Albany, New YorkAges 18–80 - NCT05633615RecruitingPhase 2
Testing new drug options after CAR T for aggressive lymphoma
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding or switching drug treatments after CAR T-cell therapy can improve outcomes for people with certain aggressive lymphomas that have come back or did not respond. It mainly looks at who remains disease-stable/partly improved after CAR T and what treatment approach works best next.
Webster, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05640843Recruiting
Plant-based diet study for MGUS or smoldering myeloma
This trial tests whether a whole-food, plant-based eating pattern—plus supplements or placebo—can improve health outcomes in people with MGUS or smoldering multiple myeloma. You may be asked to follow specific recipes and stop certain supplements, so it helps to confirm you can stick with the plan.

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.
