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.
The purpose of this study is to find the highest dose of the investigational drug PC14586 that can be given in patients with solid tumors that came back or continue to grow despite prior therapy and contain a mutation in the TP53 gene. The p53 protein produced by this gene normally tells cells when to stop dividing, but when TP53 is altered (mutated), cancer may result.
Researchers want to find the best dose of abemaciclib to combine with radiation therapy to treat advanced breast cancer. The people in this study have metastatic breast cancer that is fueled by estrogen or progesterone (hormone receptor-positive cancer). In addition, their breast cancer does not make a protein called HER2.
Researchers want to see if combining radiation therapy and immunotherapy is safe and works well for treating advanced adrenocortical cancer. The people in this study have adrenocortical cancer that spread to other parts of the body, including the liver.
Intensity-modulated pleural radiation therapy (IMPRINT) is a type of radiation therapy that specifically targets the lining of the lungs and the inner side of the ribs to stop cancer from growing. In this study, researchers are studying the safety and effectiveness of IMPRINT to one side of the chest (hemithoracic IMPRINT) to treat people with thymic cancer (cancer of the thymus gland) that has spread to the lining of the lungs and chest.
Researchers want to find the best dose of DCC-3116 to give with ripretinib for people with gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). The people in this study have GIST that has spread, even with treatment.
Researchers want to see if adding cryoablation to immunotherapy is better than immunotherapy alone for breast cancer. The people in this study have triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) that has spread beyond its original site. The immunotherapy being studied is pembrolizumab.
Researchers want to find the best doses of RMC-6291 and RMC-6236 when given together to treat lung cancer and other types of cancer that have KRAS G12C mutations. The people in this study have advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or colorectal cancer with a gene mutation (change) called KRAS G12C.
Many cancer survivors suffer from anxiety. Anxiety may involve feelings of restlessness, muscle tension, and worry. Anxiety has also been linked to poor sleep, depressed mood, and tiredness. Researchers are doing this study to see how music therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy may be able to reduce anxiety and these other symptoms. Both music therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy are routinely used to treat anxiety.
Researchers want to see if adding radiation therapy to standard medical treatments works better than standard therapies alone in people with kidney cancer. The standard therapies include:
Sickle cell disease and beta-thalassemia are blood diseases caused by a genetic change (mutation) in hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body. People with these diseases may be offered a stem cell transplant. Stem cell transplantation involves receiving healthy blood-forming cells (stem cells) from a donor to replace the diseased or damaged cells in the bone marrow.
