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 find the best dose of INCA033989 to use in people with myelofibrosis (MF) and essential thrombocytopenia (ET). These diseases are called myeloproliferative neoplasms. The people in this study have myeloproliferative neoplasms that came back or keep growing even after treatment. In addition, their cancers have a mutation (change or variant) in the CALR exon-9 gene.

There is not an accepted or usual approach to treat patients 75 years of age or older diagnosed with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Doctors are seeking effective but less intensive treatment regimens, with fewer side effects, for these patients. A standard treatment for DLBCL is R-CHOP (a combination of the drugs rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone).

Leiomyosarcoma is a type of cancer that forms in smooth muscle. Researchers want to see if adding ADI-PEG 20 to the usual chemotherapy for leiomyosarcoma works better than chemotherapy alone. The people in this study have leiomyosarcoma that keeps growing despite treatment.
This study is comparing two treatment regimens for advanced pancreatic cancer. The people in this study have pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma that has metastasized (spread). They have not yet had treatment for advanced disease.

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).
