Recruiting studies in New York
- NCT05359848Recruiting
Intermittent fasting and plant-based eating during chemotherapy
This pilot study tests whether alternating periods of lower calorie intake, along with a plant-based diet, is safe and feasible for people receiving chemotherapy. If it helps, it could support better comfort and treatment tolerance during cancer therapy.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05356182Recruiting

High-dose chemo and stem cell transplant for T-cell lymphoma patients in remission
This trial tests whether high-dose chemotherapy followed by a stem cell transplant using your own cells can help people with certain types of peripheral T-cell lymphoma live longer. You would qualify if you have already finished your first round of chemotherapy and are in complete remission.
Rochester, New YorkAges 18–75 - NCT06756607Recruiting

Comparing radiation plus targeted therapy vs standard chemo for head and neck cancer
This trial compares two treatments for advanced head and neck cancer in patients who cannot take the drug cisplatin.

The goal is to see which approach works better and is safer for people who are not candidates for cisplatin.
Stony Brook, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06800053Recruiting
Support for LGBTQ+ cancer patients and caregivers
This study tests the FOCUS program, a support program designed for sexual and gender minority (LGBTQ+) cancer patients and their unpaid caregivers. It aims to help patients and caregivers cope with cancer through education and emotional support.
Rochester, New YorkAges 18–100 - NCT07007559RecruitingPhase 2
Evorpacept with trastuzumab and chemo for HER2-positive breast cancer
This study tests an experimental drug called evorpacept when given with trastuzumab and chemotherapy for people with HER2-positive breast cancer that has spread. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors or slow down the cancer.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06580314RecruitingPhase 3
Olaparib with or without bevacizumab for ovarian cancer
This trial tests whether taking the drug olaparib for one or two years, alone or with another drug called bevacizumab, can help keep ovarian cancer from coming back after initial chemotherapy and surgery. It is for people with certain genetic markers in their tumor.
Brooklyn, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04251052Recruiting
Compare two surgeries to lower ovarian cancer risk in BRCA1 carriers
This study compares two risk-reducing surgery plans for people with a BRCA1 genetic change to see which approach helps lower ovarian cancer risk. You may be asked to have the study procedure sooner or later depending on your chosen plan.
Albany, New YorkAges 35–50 - NCT05976763RecruitingPhase 3
Testing continuous vs. intermittent zanubrutinib for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma
This trial tests whether taking the targeted drug zanubrutinib continuously is better than taking it on a schedule with breaks for older adults with untreated mantle cell lymphoma. The goal is to find a treatment that works while reducing side effects.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 60 years+ - NCT06825715Recruiting
Precision oncology support for lung and prostate cancer
This study tests a program to help veterans with lung or prostate cancer get personalized cancer treatments. The goal is to see if extra support for doctors and patients leads to better use of precision medicine.
New York, New YorkAges Any age - NCT06647953RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a standard approach for pleuropulmonary blastoma, with or without topotecan
This trial compares a standard surgery and chemotherapy plan for type I pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB) to adding the drug topotecan for types II and III PPB. The goal is to see if the extra drug helps shrink tumors and improve outcomes for children with more advanced disease.
Albany, New YorkAges Up to 21 years - NCT02422550Recruiting
MRI imaging methods to improve radiation planning and response checks
This study tests MRI scanning and image analysis methods to help doctors plan radiation treatment more accurately and assess how well it’s working. You might help improve how MRI is used for radiation planning and follow-up.
Commack, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05265169Recruiting
Tested microwave ablation to treat liver metastases from colon cancer
This study tests whether a specific heating treatment (microwave ablation) can completely destroy small colon cancer spots in the liver. It may help patients who have limited liver tumors and need a precise, minimally invasive option.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06410209RecruitingPhase 2
Walking Juntos: Smartphone program to help Hispanic cancer survivors be active
This study will test if a smartphone program and social media group can help Hispanic/Latino teens and young adults who had childhood cancer become more physically active. You would wear a Fitbit and use a phone app with culturally tailored tips and support.
Brooklyn, New YorkAges 15–20 - NCT07009288Recruiting
Time-restricted eating for childhood cancer survivors

New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06620302RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Adding DT2216 to chemo for relapsed solid tumors and FLC
This trial is testing whether adding a new drug, DT2216, to standard chemotherapy can help treat solid tumors (not starting in the brain) or fibrolamellar carcinoma (FLC) that have come back or not responded to treatment. It's for children, teens, and young adults (ages 1 to 39).
New York, New YorkAges 1–39 - NCT05677490RecruitingPhase 3
Chemo options, with or without nivolumab, for HER2-negative stomach cancer

Brooklyn, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05008848RecruitingPhase 3
Text message program to help rural cancer survivors quit smoking
This trial studies a text-message based program to help people who smoke quit. It targets adults in rural areas who are currently in cancer treatment and want support stopping smoking.
Cooperstown, New YorkAges 18 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.
Bay Shore, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06876714RecruitingPhase 3
Shorter vs Longer HER2 Therapy for Breast Cancer with Complete Response

What taking part in a oncology 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.
