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.
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.
However, SBRT may not be enough for people with intermediate-risk prostate cancer and unfavorable genetic features. These features may make it more likely that the cancer will come back after radiation therapy. These people may benefit from SBRT with hormonal therapy early in their care.
Researchers want to find the best dose of ZL-1310 to use in people with advanced digestive tumors. The people in this study have gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine carcinoma (GEP NEC) that spread and keeps growing after treatment. These tumors include NEC of the esophagus, stomach, pancreas, gallbladder, or colon/rectum.
Researchers want to find the best dose of ELA026 to use in people with secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (sHLH). When you have sHLH, certain white blood cells become overactive and attack other healthy blood cells. The white blood cells damage your own healthy tissues and organs. sHLH is usually triggered by another disease, such as cancer, infection, or autoimmune disease.
Researchers want to see how well reparixin works against myelofibrosis. This disease is a rare bone marrow cancer that disrupts your body's normal blood cell production.
Researchers want to see how well tivozanib plus pembrolizumab works in people with kidney cancer. The people in this study had surgery for renal cell carcinoma and have a high risk of it coming back.
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.
Researchers want to see if removing only 1 lymph node with cancer prevents melanoma from coming back in that area. The people in this study have melanoma that spread to just 1 lymph node.
Researchers want to find the best dose of TTI-101 that can be used safely alone and with other drugs for cancer. The people in this study have hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer) that has metastasized (spread) or is inoperable (surgically unremovable).
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.
