Recruiting studies in New York
- NCT05356182Recruiting
Low-protein meals during immunotherapy for cancer patients
This trial tests whether eating low-protein meals helps people with metastatic cancer feel better or tolerate immunotherapy (immune checkpoint inhibitors). It’s mainly a pilot/feasibility study, meaning the goal is to see if the diet is safe and doable during treatment.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05335928RecruitingPhase 3
Abatacept for immune-therapy heart inflammation in hospitalized adults
This Phase 3 trial tests abatacept to treat myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) caused by immune checkpoint cancer medicines. It may help patients recover faster and safely manage this serious side effect while they are in the hospital.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05272384RecruitingPhase 1
Testing nivolumab plus ASTX727 for hard-to-treat lymphoma
This Phase 1 study tests whether adding ASTX727 to nivolumab can shrink relapsed or refractory B-cell lymphomas that have come back or did not respond to treatment. It also aims to find a safe dosing plan and see early signs of benefit in certain lymphoma types.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05271240RecruitingPhase 3
Targeted brain-artery drug added to standard treatment for new GBM
This Phase 3 trial tests whether delivering a cancer drug directly into brain blood vessels, along with standard radiation and temozolomide, works better than standard treatment alone in newly diagnosed glioblastoma (GBM).

Rockville Centre, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05232916RecruitingPhase 3
Vaccine for HER2-positive breast cancer after standard treatment
This trial tests a vaccine (GLSI-100) that may help prevent the return of HER2-positive breast cancer. It is given to patients who still had cancer cells after initial treatment with trastuzumab, or who had stage III disease and achieved a complete response.
Stony Brook, New YorkAges 18–100 - NCT05236114Recruiting
Study of blood and tumor tests for lung cancer treatment
This study looks at how tumor and blood biomarker results can guide treatment for people with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Depending on the cancer stage, it may follow standard-of-care treatment plans around surgery or first-line immunotherapy.
Ithaca, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05245500RecruitingPhase 1
Study drug for solid tumors with MTAP gene deletion
This Phase 1 trial studies MRTX1719, a new medicine, in solid tumors that have a missing MTAP gene (MTAP deletion). It aims to find the safest dose and check how the drug affects the tumor.
Mineola, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05253651RecruitingPhase 3
Tucatinib plus trastuzumab with chemo for HER2+ metastatic colon cancer
This trial tests whether adding tucatinib and trastuzumab to standard chemotherapy works better than standard treatment alone for people with HER2-positive metastatic colon or rectal cancer. It aims to improve how long people live and how well tumors respond as first treatment for advanced disease.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05208047RecruitingPhase 3
CGT9486 plus sunitinib for advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumors
This trial tests whether adding a new drug called CGT9486 to sunitinib (a standard cancer drug) works better than sunitinib alone for gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) that have grown or spread. You may qualify if your GIST stopped responding to or caused problems with imatinib, an earlier treatment.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05219695RecruitingPhase 1
Ultrasound imaging and treatment for breast tumors
This study uses focused ultrasound waves to create detailed images of breast tumors and deliver targeted treatment. It aims to improve how breast tumors are treated while minimizing damage to healthy tissue.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05248581Recruiting
Living donor liver transplant for unresectable colon cancer spread
This trial looks at using a living donor liver transplant for people whose colon or rectal cancer has spread to the liver in a way that can’t be removed with standard surgery. It may help if you might otherwise have limited options because your liver surgery would be too risky.
Rochester, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05137054RecruitingPhase 1
Linvoseltamab combo for hard-to-treat multiple myeloma
This trial tests a new drug called linvoseltamab combined with other cancer treatments for people with multiple myeloma that has stopped responding to standard therapies. It may be an option if you have already tried several treatments and are looking for a new approach.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05142605Recruiting
Grief therapy for parents who lost a child to cancer
This study compares different grief-therapy approaches for parents (and their support people) after they lose a child diagnosed with cancer. It may help if your grief feels especially intense and long-lasting, and you are willing to take part in English telehealth sessions.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05174169RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Adjuvant colon chemotherapy guided by tumor DNA results
This trial tests whether treatment for colon cancer after surgery can be guided by a blood test that looks for leftover cancer signals (ctDNA). It may help some people choose stronger or different chemo based on whether ctDNA is found after surgery.
Greenlawn, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05148156Recruiting
Urolift before radiation to reduce urinary side effects
This study tests whether a procedure called Urolift (which gently opens the prostate to relieve urinary blockage) before radiation therapy (SBRT) can reduce urinary side effects for men who have both prostate cancer and an enlarged prostate. If you qualify, you might experience fewer urinary problems during and after your cancer treatment.
Syosset, New YorkAges 50–99 - NCT05184816RecruitingPhase 1
Deferoxamine for leptomeningeal cancer spread in the brain lining
This Phase 1 study tests deferoxamine, a medicine given directly into spinal fluid, for leptomeningeal metastasis (cancer spreading to the brain and spinal cord lining). It’s meant to see whether the treatment can be safely given and whether it may help control this difficult-to-treat cancer location.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05188508RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab, olaparib, and temozolomide for recurrent glioma
This trial studies whether combining three medicines can slow or shrink recurrent glioma (a type of brain tumor). It is for adults whose tumor has come back after standard treatment, with certain genetic tumor markers that may help guide whether you can join.
Commack, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05112601RecruitingPhase 2
Nivolumab plus or minus ipilimumab for dMMR endometrial cancer
This Phase 2 study tests the medicines nivolumab (with or without ipilimumab) in people with recurrent endometrial cancer that has “dMMR” (a specific tumor DNA repair defect). It aims to see whether this immune-based treatment can shrink tumors or help them stop growing.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05093335RecruitingEarly Phase 1
PET scan test for CXCR4 in many relapsed cancers
This early study tests a new PET scan tracer (a radioactive imaging agent) that may light up a cell marker called CXCR4 in certain blood and solid tumor cancers. It may help doctors see where cancers are and how much CXCR4 they have, which could guide future treatments.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05006482RecruitingPhase 3
Geriatric education and care support for older cancer survivors
This study tests whether a structured health education and “older adult care” approach—done with your oncology team—can improve support for people after cancer. It includes older cancer survivors and a chosen caregiver, using in-person or video visits for follow-up.
Rochester, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05010005RecruitingPhase 1
Testing ruxolitinib plus duvelisib for relapsed T-cell lymphoma
This Phase 1 study tests how safe and effective ruxolitinib plus duvelisib are in adults with certain types of mature T-cell lymphomas. You may be considered if your lymphoma has come back or worsened despite prior treatment, and the study checks whether this pill combination can help control the disease.
Commack, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05041166Enrolling by invitationPhase 1

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.
