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.
In this study, researchers want to find the best doses of 2 different drug combinations. This study is for people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that keeps growing even after treatment. You also must have changes (mutations or variants) in the FLT3 gene, and in either the IDH1 or IDH2 genes. The FLT3 gene can cause cancer cells to grow. The IDH1 and IDH2 genes cause low blood cell counts.
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.
Peritoneal mesothelioma is a cancer of the inner lining of the abdomen (belly). The people in this study will be having surgery to take out as much of the cancer as possible. They will also receive heated chemotherapy given directly into the abdomen to kill any remaining cancer cells.
The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility of a new approach to treat people with T4 breast cancer who have already received chemotherapy. T4 breast cancer occurs when the cancer has grown beyond normal breast tissue and into the chest wall or skin or has become swollen and causes pain. Doctors normally treat T4 breast cancer with chemotherapy followed by mastectomy and removal of underarm (axillary) lymph nodes. After mastectomy, patients normally receive radiation therapy and then have breast reconstruction surgery many months to years after completing radiotherapy.

Normally when people have B-cell lymphoma that is not in complete remission, they do not immediately have another treatment. They have observation. That means their doctor closely monitors their disease with imaging tests to see if their disease is improving or worsening. If their disease gets worse, they may receive more treatment.
