Recruiting studies in New York
- NCT03686124RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Tested immune therapy for certain HLA-A2 positive solid tumors
This trial studies an immune-based cancer treatment (IMA203/IMA203CD8) either alone or with nivolumab in people whose solid tumors have come back or will not respond to standard care. It may help by training the immune system to recognize and attack tumor cells that match the trial’s test requirements.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05859074RecruitingPhase 1
Testing MQ710 injections alone or with pembrolizumab for advanced cancers
This early-phase study tests MQ710, a medicine given by injection into a reachable tumor, to see how well it can control advanced cancers. Some participants also receive pembrolizumab, an immunotherapy, to help the immune system fight the cancer.
Commack, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04421560RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing pembrolizumab, ibrutinib, and rituximab for PCNSL
This Phase 1/2 study tests how well a combination of pembrolizumab, ibrutinib, and rituximab treats primary CNS lymphoma that came back or didn’t respond after prior brain treatment. It may help shrink the lymphoma and control it in the brain and fluid around the brain.
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+ - NCT05281471RecruitingPhase 3
Tested drug for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer with bevacizumab
This Phase 3 trial tests a treatment made of an investigational gene-based drug plus standard “platinum” chemotherapy and bevacizumab, compared with standard chemotherapy and bevacizumab. It’s for ovarian/fallopian tube/primary peritoneal cancers that have not responded to platinum chemotherapy or came back quickly.
Stony Brook, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06634589RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2

New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06654037RecruitingPhase 1
Testing abemaciclib plus 5-FU for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial is testing whether adding a targeted drug called abemaciclib to the standard chemotherapy 5-FU can help people with a specific type of advanced colorectal cancer (MSS) that has stopped responding to other treatments. The goal is to see if this combination is safe and effective.
The Bronx, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06119685RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
IDP-023 alone or with other antibodies for blood cancers
This trial tests an experimental drug, IDP-023, given alone or with antibody therapies for people with advanced blood cancers like multiple myeloma or non-Hodgkin lymphoma that have not responded to previous treatments. The goal is to see if it can shrink tumors or slow the disease.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07525206RecruitingPhase 3
Combination treatment for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests a new drug combination for colorectal cancer that has not responded to other treatments. It compares the new drug with a standard treatment to see which is more effective.
Lake Success, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06992258RecruitingPhase 2
Comparing two drug combinations for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests whether adding TAS-102 to fruquintinib works better than fruquintinib alone for people with advanced colorectal cancer that has stopped responding to other treatments.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05669430RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing an anti-cancer drug alone and with pembrolizumab
This early-phase study tests GV20-0251 (an anti-cancer treatment) by itself and combined with pembrolizumab, to see how well it works and how safe it is. It is for adults with advanced solid tumors that have grown despite standard treatments, or where standard treatments aren’t an option.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06533826RecruitingPhase 2
Testing two antibody drugs for HER2-low breast cancer
This trial tests two antibody-drug conjugates (Enhertu and Datroway) for breast cancer that is HER2-low or HER2-0. It aims to find the best treatment sequence for people whose cancer has stopped responding to prior therapy.
The Bronx, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06234423RecruitingPhase 1
A study of CUSP06 for advanced solid tumors
This study tests a new drug called CUSP06 for people with advanced solid tumors, especially ovarian cancer that has stopped responding to platinum chemotherapy. It may help if standard treatments no longer work.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06014658RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of MBRC-101 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug, MBRC-101, that targets a protein called EphA5 found on some cancer cells. It is for people with advanced solid tumors (like lung, breast, or pancreatic cancer) that have stopped responding to other treatments. The study aims to find a safe dose and see if the drug can shrink tumors.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05741164RecruitingPhase 2
Propranolol plus pembrolizumab for hard-to-treat breast cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies whether adding propranolol to pembrolizumab can “re-sensitize” tumors and slow cancer in triple-negative breast cancer that no longer responds to checkpoint immunotherapy. It may help some people whose cancer has grown despite prior pembrolizumab and chemotherapy.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07061951RecruitingPhase 2
Mirdametinib for relapsed or refractory CLL or SLL
This trial tests a drug called mirdametinib for people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) that has come back or not responded to at least two prior treatments, including a BTK inhibitor and a BCL2 inhibitor. The goal is to see if mirdametinib can help shrink the cancer or slow its growth.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04928677RecruitingPhase 1
Codrituzumab for children and young adults with GPC3-positive solid tumors
This Phase 1 study tests codrituzumab, an antibody medicine, in children and young adults whose solid tumor has come back or did not respond to standard treatment. It’s designed to see how the treatment works and how safe it is, especially for tumors that test positive for GPC3.

What taking part in a refractory 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.
