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 AJ1-11095 to treat myelofibrosis. The people in this study have myelofibrosis that came back or got worse after treatment.
Researchers are comparing IMA203 cellular therapy with standard treatment in people with melanoma of the skin. Their melanoma is inoperable (cannot be surgically removed) or metastatic (has spread) and keeps growing despite treatment.
Researchers want to find the best dose of ODM-212 to treat advanced solid tumors. The people in this study have solid tumors that have spread and cannot be cured with standard therapies. Examples include:
In this study, researchers want to learn if tigilanol tiglate is safe and works well against advanced soft tissue sarcoma. When injected into a tumor, tigilanol tiglate stops the blood supply to the cancer, which starves the tumor of nutrients. It may also make the immune system target and kill cancer cells.
Germ cell tumors (GCTs) include ovarian teratomas and testicular cancers. The standard treatment for "low-risk" GCTs includes complete removal by surgery followed by chemotherapy with cisplatin, bleomycin, and etoposide, unless the patient is a young child, in which case careful observation may be adequate. GCTs are considered "standard risk" if the patient is under age 25 at diagnosis, the tumor was not completely removed during surgery or has spread to other parts of the body, or proteins in the blood called tumor markers are elevated. The standard treatment for standard-risk GCTs includes chemotherapy with cisplatin, bleomycin, and etoposide followed by surgery, followed by more chemotherapy if needed.
Researchers want to find the best dose of DCC-3009 to use in people with gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). The people in this study have GIST that has metastasized (spread) after treatment. In addition, their cancers have a mutation (change) in the KIT or PDGFRA gene. These mutations are common in people with GIST and can cause cancer to grow.
Researchers are assessing trametinib and azacitidine alone and with other drugs to treat leukemia in young people. The people in this study have newly diagnosed juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML).
The usual treatment for brain metastases (cancer that spread to the brain) is a single treatment of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). SRS uses special equipment to position the patient and precisely give a single large dose of radiation to a tumor.
Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a type of cancer that occurs in the soft tissues in the body. Researchers in this study are comparing different chemotherapy-based treatments for children and young adults with very low-risk RMS, low-risk RMS, and RMS with DNA mutations, with treatment tailored to the predicted aggressiveness of each patient's cancer. The standard chemotherapy drugs participants will receive include vincristine, dactinomycin, and cyclophosphamide.
Researchers are assessing nivolumab and ipilimumab immunotherapy with or without cabozantinib to treat advanced nasopharyngeal cancer. The people in this study have nasopharyngeal cancer that recurred (came back) or metastasized (spread). In addition, the cancer cannot be cured with other therapies.
