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 learn if the radiopharmaceutical therapy 177Lu-PSMA-617 is a safe treatment for people with glioma. Radiopharmaceutical therapy delivers radiation directly into a tumor to destroy cancer cells.
Researchers want to find the best dose of CTIM-76 to treat advanced ovarian or endometrial cancer. The people in this study have ovarian or endometrial cancer that makes a protein called CLDN6. This protein may fuel cancer growth.
The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and effectiveness of adding duvelisib or CC-486 (oral azacitidine) to the usual chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, etoposide, and prednisone) in people with peripheral T-cell lymphoma. Duvelisib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth; it is taken orally (by mouth).
Researchers are doing this study to learn if lung chemoembolization is safe and works well in people with lung cancer. The people in this study have non-small cell lung cancer that keeps growing after chemotherapy. Moreover, it cannot be cured with surgery or radiation therapy.
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.
Researchers are assessing the cellular therapy lisocabtagene maraleucel (liso-cel) in people with primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL). The people in this study have PCNSL that has not yet been treated. In addition, they cannot have autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). During ASCT, a patient's healthy, blood-forming cells are collected before treatment, stored, and returned after treatment with very strong chemotherapy.
Researchers are finding the best dose of ASP2138 to use in people with advanced digestive cancers. The people in this study have cancer of the pancreas, stomach (gastric cancer), or junction between the esophagus and stomach (gastroesophageal junction cancer). In addition, their cancers make a protein called CLDN 18.2 and keep growing even after treatment.
The purpose of this study is to find the highest dose of the investigational drug RMC-6236 that can be given safely in people with advanced solid tumors containing mutations in the KRAS gene. RMC-6236 targets the KRAS protein made by the mutated gene. The KRAS protein sends signals that cause cancer cells to grow. RMC-6236 is designed to prevent the KRAS protein from sending these signals, and this blocking action may slow or stop the growth of cancer cells. RMC-6236 is taken orally (by mouth).
People with cancer often complain that their "mind does not seem to be clear." This can be due to stress, depression or anxiety, or physical problems, or may be due to some cancer treatments. The purpose of this study is to better understand the effects of cancer treatments on thinking (cognitive) abilities and memory in people with breast cancer over age 60. Thinking abilities and memory may decrease with age, and the effects of some treatments could make this problem worse in older people with breast cancer.
