New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04526587Recruiting
Study of breast cancer markers after CDK4/6 inhibitor treatment
This study looks at lab markers and clinical features in people with certain types of breast cancer who are being treated with, or have already been treated with a CDK4/6 inhibitor like abemaciclib (ciclib-based therapy). It aims to understand patterns that may help doctors better characterize breast cancer after these treatments.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05997017RecruitingPhase 2
Nab-sirolimus plus letrozole for advanced endometrial cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs—nab-sirolimus and letrozole—for people with advanced or returning endometrioid endometrial cancer. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06042569RecruitingPhase 2
Lower-dose chemo for older women with HER2-negative breast cancer
This trial tests whether a lower dose of two chemotherapy drugs (docetaxel and cyclophosphamide) works well for women 65 and older with early-stage HER2-negative breast cancer. The goal is to maintain effectiveness while reducing side effects in this group.
Rochester, New YorkAges 65 years+ - NCT05812807RecruitingPhase 3
Pembrolizumab versus monitoring after triple-negative breast cancer response
This trial checks whether giving pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy) after surgery helps people with triple-negative breast cancer reduce the chance of the cancer coming back, compared with close monitoring only. It’s for patients who had no remaining invasive cancer after neoadjuvant chemotherapy plus pembrolizumab.
Staten Island, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05803382RecruitingPhase 1
Adding a new drug to capecitabine for metastatic colorectal cancer
This Phase 1 study tests a new anti-cancer drug (ZEN003694) added to the usual chemotherapy capecitabine. It is for adults with colorectal cancer (and possibly other cancers) that has spread or cannot be removed and has continued despite prior standard treatment.
The Bronx, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05806515RecruitingPhase 2
Carboplatin before surgery for high-risk BRCA prostate cancer
This trial tests giving the chemotherapy drug carboplatin before surgery to treat people with high-risk prostate cancer and an inherited BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene change. The goal is to shrink or control the cancer before an operation and improve outcomes.
Middletown, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05787834Recruiting
Breathing exercises at home to reduce cancer treatment side effects
This study tests whether doing simple breathing exercises at home can help reduce side effects from cancer treatments like chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or radiation. It may help you feel better during your treatment.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 21 years+ - NCT05739981RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Immunotherapy plus chemo for newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer
This trial tests an immune-based treatment (IMNN-001/GEN-1) combined with standard chemotherapy given before and during surgery. It’s for people with newly diagnosed advanced high-grade serous ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer to see if it can improve outcomes.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05733013Recruiting
Using redifferentiation medicines before radioactive iodine for thyroid cancer
This study collects information on how redifferentiation medicines used before radioactive iodine work in everyday care for certain thyroid cancers that are unlikely to respond to radioactive iodine. It may help doctors understand the best real-world way to use these medicines to plan and deliver treatment.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05691010RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Short-course radiation plus chemotherapy for endometrial cancer
This early-phase study tests whether giving a short course of radiation together with chemotherapy can help treat endometrial cancer after surgery. It aims to find a treatment plan that is effective while keeping side effects manageable.
Uniondale, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05706558Recruiting
Study of esophageal cancer surgery records
This study looks back at past patients’ medical and pathology records from esophageal cancer surgeries. It may help improve how doctors understand which advanced tumors should be treated, by reviewing outcomes in specific tumor stages.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05657873RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted radiation for metastatic lung cancer with liver spread
This trial studies whether adding targeted radiation to the liver (small-area, high-precision radiation) can help people with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer. Participants also start standard “anti–PD-1/PD-L1” immunotherapy (with chemotherapy in some cases).
Rockville Centre, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05570253RecruitingPhase 2
SDX-7320 plus eribulin for metastatic triple-negative breast cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding SDX-7320 to eribulin can work better for people with triple-negative metastatic breast cancer. It focuses on patients who have had prior chemotherapy and who also show signs of metabolic imbalance such as higher body weight or higher HbA1c.
Commack, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05562791RecruitingPhase 1
Testing PSMA PET/CT scans for metastatic bladder or skin cancer
This Phase 1 study tests how well a PSMA PET/CT scan can find cancer spots in people with metastatic bladder cancer (urothelial cancer) or metastatic melanoma. It may help doctors better see where cancer is and guide next steps.
Harrison, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05519449RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a PSMA-targeting treatment for advanced prostate cancer
This Phase 1 trial tests JANX007 in men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (cancer that keeps growing despite standard hormone treatment). It aims to find a safe dose and see whether the treatment can shrink tumors or slow progression.
Lake Success, New YorkAges 18–100 - NCT05491512RecruitingPhase 2
Reduced radiation with chemo for HPV throat cancer
This trial tests whether giving less radiation (while using standard chemotherapy) can treat HPV-related throat cancer effectively. It may help reduce radiation exposure while still controlling the cancer.
Commack, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05365581RecruitingPhase 1
Study drug for stomach and pancreatic cancers with lab-checked targets
This Phase 1 trial tests ASP2138 alone or with other cancer medicines in adults with stomach (including GEJ) or pancreatic cancer. You may be eligible if your tumor has a specific protein marker and your health tests and scan results meet safety requirements.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05412225RecruitingPhase 1
Pre-surgery radiation, then mastectomy and immediate breast reconstruction
This Phase 1 study looks at giving radiation before surgery for people with locally advanced breast cancer, then performing a mastectomy and immediate reconstruction. It aims to see whether this combined approach can shrink the cancer before surgery and safely allow reconstruction afterward.
Commack, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05274048RecruitingPhase 1
Neratinib plus antibody-drug for HER2-positive stomach or esophagus cancer
This early-phase trial tests neratinib together with an antibody-drug to treat advanced HER2-positive gastro-esophageal (stomach/esophagus) cancer that can’t be removed by surgery.

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.
