Recruiting studies in New York
- NCT04991025RecruitingPhase 2
Adding certolizumab to chemotherapy and nivolumab for lung cancer
This study tests whether adding an extra medication, certolizumab, to the usual chemotherapy and an immunotherapy drug called nivolumab can help people with early-stage lung cancer before they have surgery. It aims to see if this combination shrinks the cancer more and improves outcomes.
Commack, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04886531RecruitingPhase 2
Pre-surgery neratinib plus hormone therapy with trastuzumab
This study tests whether a pre-surgery treatment plan that adds neratinib to hormone therapy and trastuzumab can shrink HER2-positive, ER-positive breast cancer before surgery. It may help patients by improving how much cancer is eliminated at the time of surgery.
Rochester, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04668872Recruiting
Biopsy after liver radiation to see tumor cell changes
This trial gives radiation to liver tumors and then takes a small tissue sample (biopsy) to look for changes in the cancer cells after treatment. The goal is to learn what the radiation is doing inside the tumor, which may help improve future treatments.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04267848RecruitingPhase 3
Testing immunotherapy with chemo after lung cancer surgery
This trial tests whether adding an immunotherapy medicine to standard chemotherapy after surgery can improve outcomes for some people with non-small cell lung cancer. It may help by boosting the immune system to reduce the chance the cancer comes back.
Auburn, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04348747RecruitingPhase 2
Vaccine plus pembrolizumab for breast cancer in the brain
This trial studies whether a personalized immune-cell vaccine (dendritic cell vaccine) combined with pembrolizumab can help control brain metastases from certain types of breast cancer. It may help your immune system better recognize and attack cancer cells in the brain.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT03808337RecruitingPhase 2
SBRT radiation plus standard treatment for spread cancer
This trial looks at adding a focused radiation treatment called SBRT to standard care for cancers that have spread to a limited number of spots. It aims to control those spread-out tumors while still using the usual cancer treatment plan.
Commack, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT03678025RecruitingPhase 3
Standard treatment for metastatic prostate cancer, with or without local treatment
This Phase 3 trial studies whether using the usual medicines for metastatic prostate cancer, plus a definitive local treatment to the prostate, improves outcomes. It may help determine if treating the prostate directly can benefit people whose cancer has not worsened after initial hormone-based treatment.
Albany, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT02734537RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation with or without cisplatin after head and neck surgery
This trial studies whether adding cisplatin (a chemotherapy medicine) to radiation therapy helps people with stage III–IVA squamous cell cancer of the head and neck after they’ve had surgery. It’s meant to lower the risk of the cancer coming back.
Middletown, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07816666RecruitingPhase 3
Maintenance treatment for relapsed ovarian cancer
This trial tests a new drug called torvutatug samrotecan, given alone or with bevacizumab, as maintenance therapy after chemotherapy for ovarian cancer that has come back. It aims to see if this treatment can help keep the cancer from growing longer.
Albany, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05561842Recruiting
Mobile ultrasound tablet test for breast cancer diagnosis in Nigeria
This study tests a tablet-based ultrasound (a scan using sound waves) to help identify breast lumps that look like cancer. If your lump looks suspicious, the scan result is intended to guide next steps like biopsy or surgical removal at the hospital.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07824349RecruitingPhase 1
JUR-003 for metastatic prostate cancer
This trial tests an experimental drug called JUR-003 in people with prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. It aims to see if the drug can shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
Lake Success, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07776613RecruitingPhase 2
Bone strengthening drug for breast cancer with osteoporosis
This study tests a new drug called romosozumab, which may help strengthen bones and reduce fractures in people with breast cancer that has spread to the bones and who also have osteoporosis. If you are on hormone therapy and have weak bones, this could help protect your bones.
Commack, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07768436RecruitingPhase 2
cmf chemotherapy for breast cancer in older adults
This trial tests a combination of three older chemotherapy drugs (cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, and fluorouracil, called CMF) for adults 70 and older with breast cancer. The goal is to see if this treatment is effective and well-tolerated in this age group.
Uniondale, New YorkAges 70 years+ - NCT05946824RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation for prostate cancer that returned after surgery
This trial tests a new way of delivering radiation for prostate cancer that has come back after prostate surgery. It may help control the cancer by targeting the “prostate bed” area or nearby lymph nodes where it returned.
Rochester, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07718672RecruitingPhase 2
New radiation technique for early-stage lung cancer
This trial compares a newer, more targeted type of radiation (hotspot SABR) with the standard SABR approach for people with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. The goal is to see if the newer method works just as well or better while possibly reducing side effects.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07690917Recruiting
New PET scanner study for people with cancer
This study tests a new PET scanner that may give clearer or more detailed pictures of cancer. It is for people who are already scheduled for a PET-CT scan at Memorial Sloan Kettering, and it could help doctors see cancer more precisely.
Commack, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07631000RecruitingPhase 2
Cadonilimab with chemotherapy for stomach cancer surgery
This trial tests a new immunotherapy drug called cadonilimab combined with chemotherapy before surgery for stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer. The goal is to shrink the tumor and improve outcomes for patients who are candidates for surgery.
Commack, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05824975RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Test drug GI-102 alone or with cancer medicines
This Phase 1/2 study tests whether GI-102 is safe and can help shrink advanced solid tumors. It also looks at GI-102 used with standard cancer treatments like pembrolizumab or trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd).
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07620574Enrolling by invitationPhase 3
Long-Term Study Continuing Cancer Treatment from Previous Trial
This study lets people who were in an earlier Exelixis cancer treatment trial continue receiving the same treatment if it's still helping them. It's designed to see how safe and effective the treatment is over a longer period.
Bay Shore, New YorkAges Any age - NCT07612046Recruiting
MRI of the pancreas for cancer screening
This study uses MRI scans to screen for pancreas cancer in people at high risk due to family history or certain gene mutations. It aims to see if MRI can help find cancer early.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07454330Recruiting
Support program for Chinese cancer patients' quality of life
This trial tests a support program designed to improve quality of life for Chinese cancer patients and survivors. If you qualify, you'll join the program by phone or video call.
Commack, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07459673RecruitingPhase 2
HER2-positive breast cancer trial using ctDNA to guide treatment
This trial tests a personalized treatment plan for HER2-positive breast cancer that has spread. It uses a blood test to track cancer DNA and adjust therapy, including treatments that may help prevent cancer from reaching the brain. The goal is to achieve long-term remission.
Uniondale, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07391956Recruiting
Palliative care for advanced heart failure or cancer
This study tests whether special supportive care (called tiered palliative care) can help people with advanced heart failure or certain advanced cancers feel better and have fewer hospital visits. If you live in Manhattan or Queens, speak English or Spanish, and meet the other requirements, you may be able to join.
Astoria, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07349537RecruitingPhase 1
Study of RMC-5127 for advanced KRAS G12V-mutant solid tumors

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.
