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 are comparing two different treatments for breast cancer that metastasized (spread) and makes high levels of the HER2 protein. The people in this study have metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer that keeps growing after trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd). Or they may have had bad side effects from this drug and had to stop taking it.
People with endometrial cancer often gain weight during and after chemotherapy. Medicines to reduce the risk of an allergic reaction for people receiving chemotherapy can also raise blood sugar. Weight gain can affect overall health and cancer recovery.
Researchers are doing this study to see how well COM701 immunotherapy works when used as maintenance therapy for ovarian cancer. Maintenance therapy helps keep cancer from growing again after it shrank or stopped growing following earlier treatment.
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.
After a stem cell transplant, some patients develop a condition called graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). This occurs when the donor's healthy immune cells see the recipient's normal cells as foreign and begin to attack them.
Radiation therapy is one of the usual approaches to treating triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Researchers think that adding the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab, with or without olaparib, to radiation therapy may be a better treatment for TNBC than radiation therapy alone.
Mycosis fungoides (MF) is a disease in which lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell) become cancerous and affect the skin, causing "cutaneous T-cell lymphoma." Lymphomatoid papulosis (LyP) is a rare and similar disorder that causes lymphoma-like skin lesions.
Researchers are assessing treatment with BGB-16673 in combination with other anti-cancer medications in people with B-cell cancers. These cancers include:
Metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) is a substance taken up specifically by neuroblastoma, pheochromocytoma, or paraganglioma tumor cells. MIBG can be combined with radioactive iodine (131I) in the laboratory to form the radioactive compound 131I-MIBG. The 131I-MIBG compound concentrates more in cancer cells than in normal cells. It may therefore deliver more radiation directly to cancer cells while sparing normal organs.
However, SBRT may not be enough for people with intermediate-risk prostate cancer and unfavorable genetic features. These features may make it more likely that the cancer will come back after radiation therapy. These people may benefit from SBRT with hormonal therapy early in their care.
