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 highest dose of DISC-0974 to use in people with myelofibrosis and anemia. Myelofibrosis happens when bone marrow cells called fibroblasts make too much fibrous (scar) tissue. The bone marrow is not able to make enough blood cells, which leads to anemia. Anemia is a reduced number of red blood cells, and it causes tiredness and shortness of breath.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of different combinations of drugs to treat advanced clear cell renal cell carcinoma, a type of kidney cancer, in patients who have not received any prior treatment or who have recently developed worsening disease while receiving immunotherapy that targets the PD-1/PD-L1 proteins.
Researchers want to find the best dose of AZD9592 to use in people with lung and head and neck cancers. They will assess AZD9592 when it is given alone and with the anti-cancer drug osimertinib. The people in this study have advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or head and neck cancer with mutations (changes or variants) in the EGFR gene.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of combining pembrolizumab immunotherapy with standard chemotherapy drugs and autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) in patients with Hodgkin lymphoma that has come back or continued to grow despite one regimen of prior therapy. Pembrolizumab blocks PD-1, a protein cancer cells use to evade detection by the immune system, thereby enabling the immune system to find and kill cancer cells.
Doctors are assessing a new photodynamic therapy (PDT) for prostate cancer that has not spread beyond the prostate. This treatment is performed in an operating room while you are under general anesthesia.
In this study, researchers want to find the highest dose of the drug abemaciclib that can be given safely with ruxolitinib in people with myelofibrosis that has developed on its own (primary myelofibrosis) or as a complication of the blood diseases polycythemia vera or essential thrombocythemia. In people with myelofibrosis, the bone marrow is not able to make enough blood cells. The spleen is bigger than normal, making the stomach feel very full. Patients may also have fever and night sweats.

Unfavorable intermediate-risk prostate cancers have not spread beyond the prostate but have a chance of coming back. They are usually treated with surgery or radiation therapy, with or without hormonal therapy. One of the more common standard treatment approaches is hormonal therapy called androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), which reduces the levels of male sex hormones, followed by external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) to the prostate and nearby lymph nodes.
Researchers want to learn if AMG 193 in combination with standard treatment is safe for people with advanced pancreatic cancer. The people in this study have pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) that has metastasized (spread). In addition, their cancers have a mutation (change) in the MTAP gene. This results in a lack of the MTAP protein, which may help cancer grow.
Researchers are assessing a new way of giving isatuximab with carfilzomib and dexamethasone in people with multiple myeloma. Isatuximab is injected under the skin using a wearable device attached to the skin of the stomach area. Carfilzomib will be given intravenously (by vein). Dexamethasone can be taken orally (by mouth) or intravenously.
