Thoracic surgeon Daniela Molena leads clinical trials to improve outcomes for people with esophageal cancers.
At any time Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center is conducting hundreds of clinical trials to improve care for many types of cancer. Use the tool below to browse our clinical trials that are currently enrolling new patients. Each listing explains the purpose of the trial, the trial’s eligibility criteria, and how to get more information.
The list below includes clinical trials for adult cancers. Please visit our pediatric cancer care section to find a pediatric clinical trial.
Researchers want to see if disitamab vedotin plus tucatinib is safe and works well in people with advanced solid tumors. They want to find the best dose of disitamab vedotin to give with tucatinib. The people in this study have different types of HER2-positive and HER2-low solid tumors, including breast cancer.
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in infants (babies under 1 year of age) can be challenging to treat. Researchers in this study are assessing the addition of 2 new drugs to standard chemotherapy for ALL in infants.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of giving the investigational immunotherapy drug INCMGA00012 in combination with gemcitabine and docetaxel in patients with inoperable or metastatic soft tissue sarcoma. Gemcitabine and docetaxel are standard treatments for this disease; researchers believe that adding INCMGA00012 may make treatment more effective.

Researchers are assessing a new treatment for people with prostate cancer that has not spread but has a high risk of spreading. The new treatment, 2141-V11, will be given with standard prostate cancer therapies.
When vulvar cancer is removed, surgeons examine the first lymph nodes to which cancer might spread ("sentinel lymph nodes") to see if they contain cancer cells. If the sentinel lymph nodes contain cancer, the usual treatment is more surgery to remove all of the lymph nodes in the groin, followed by several weeks of radiation therapy to reduce the chance that the cancer will come back. However, removing all of the lymph nodes increases the risk of lymphedema, which causes uncomfortable swelling in the legs, as well as an elevated risk of infection.
Pirtobrutinib works by blocking a protein called BTK, which helps cancer cells grow and survive. By blocking this protein, pirtobrutinib may help stop cancer cells from growing and spreading. It is taken orally (by mouth).
Sickle cell disease and beta-thalassemia are blood diseases caused by a genetic change (mutation) in hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body. People with these diseases may be offered a stem cell transplant. Stem cell transplantation involves receiving healthy blood-forming cells (stem cells) from a donor to replace the diseased or damaged cells in the bone marrow.
The transplantation of stem cells from umbilical cord blood is a treatment for some blood cancers and non-cancerous blood or metabolic disorders. Patients routinely receive high doses of chemotherapy and sometimes radiation before receiving the stem cells to help make room in the bone marrow for new blood stem cells to grow, prevent the body from rejecting the transplanted cells, and help kill any abnormal blood cells in the body. However, the combination of these treatments can have serious side effects.
In this study, researchers want to see if adding stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) to standard drug therapy is effective for people with estrogen receptor (ER)-positive HER2-positive oligometastatic breast cancer that has gotten worse at one metastatic site despite medical treatment. Oligometastatic breast cancer is cancer that has spread to a small number of parts of the body. SBRT delivers extremely precise, very intense doses of radiation to cancer cells.
