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.
Prostate cancers initially need the male hormone testosterone for growth. Hormone therapies that lower the level of testosterone are among the best treatments for prostate cancers that have metastasized (spread). The benefits of hormone treatments often do not last, however. Over time, many prostate cancers keep growing even with hormonal therapies. These are called castration-resistant prostate cancers (CRPC).
In this study, researchers are assessing the drug asciminib for people who recently learned they have chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). They will take it twice a day. If after two years they do not respond well to asciminib, they may take the drug nilotinib with asciminib.
Prostate removal (prostatectomy), a treatment for prostate cancer, can cause urinary incontinence (the inability to control the flow of urine). People experience urinary incontinence in the days immediately following surgery, which can reduce quality of life. Most people experience urinary incontinence for several weeks to months after surgery, but it can last longer.
The purpose of this study is to see whether the combination of melphalan, BCNU, vitamin B12b, and vitamin C, followed by autologous (self) bone marrow stem cell infusion, is safe and effective for treating patients with advanced pancreatic cancer who have a BRCA1 and/or BRCA2 gene mutation. All of these treatments are given intravenously (by vein).
Researchers are comparing several combination drug treatments for people with cancer of the stomach or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ). The people in this study have gastric or GEJ cancer that metastasized (spread) or is inoperable (cannot be surgically removed). In addition, their tumors make a protein called HER2.
Researchers are finding the best dose of MB-CART19.1 immunotherapy in people with lymphoma. The people in this study have central nervous system lymphoma (CNSL) that came back or keeps growing after treatment.
Researchers want to find the best doses of ziftomenib to use with other drugs to treat leukemia. The people in this study have acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that keeps growing even with treatment. In addition, they have AML with changes in the NPM1, KMT2A, or FLT3 genes.
Sacituzumab govitecan targets and destroys cells that make a protein called TROP-2. Researchers have found this protein to be expressed on mesothelioma cells. By destroying these cells, sacituzumab govitecan may help slow or stop the growth of your cancer. It is given intravenously (by vein).
Researchers want to find the best dose of RYZ801 to give with RYZ811 in people with inoperable liver cancer. Inoperable means the cancer cannot be taken out with surgery. The people in this study have hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) that makes high levels of a liver protein called GPC3.
Leiomyosarcoma is a type of cancer that forms in smooth muscle. Researchers want to see if adding ADI-PEG 20 to the usual chemotherapy for leiomyosarcoma works better than chemotherapy alone. The people in this study have leiomyosarcoma that keeps growing despite treatment.
