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 are comparing two different treatments for breast cancer that metastasized (spread) and makes high levels of the HER2 protein. The people in this study have metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer that keeps growing after trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd). Or they may have had bad side effects from this drug and had to stop taking it.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of treating patients with recurrent and newly diagnosed glioblastoma using new therapies that are thought to be effective for treating brain cancer. The new therapies available as part of this clinical trial include regorafenib, VAL-083, and paxalisib.
The purpose of this study is to compare proton beam radiation therapy with intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) in patients with stage I-IVA esophageal cancer. Both approaches send radiation inside the body to a tumor without damaging much of the healthy tissue around it. However, proton beam radiation therapy uses protons while IMRT uses photons (high-energy x-rays).
Peritoneal mesothelioma is a cancer of the inner lining of the abdomen (belly). The people in this study will be having surgery to take out as much of the cancer as possible. They will also receive heated chemotherapy given directly into the abdomen to kill any remaining cancer cells.
After endometrial cancer surgery, there is a risk that the cancer will come back. Combining a shorter course of radiation treatment with chemotherapy may decrease the chance of endometrial cancer recurring.
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.
Patients receiving certain drugs for breast cancer, such as doxorubicin or trastuzumab, may experience impaired heart function. Researchers at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center are conducting a study to see if it is possible to grow heart muscle cells ("cardiomyocytes") from blood or skin cells from breast cancer patients. The skin cells will be grown in a special mixture in the laboratory designed to transform them from skin cells into heart muscle cells.
Researchers want to see if ASTX727 is practical and safe for people with high-risk clonal cytopenia of undetermined significance (CCUS). With CCUS, there is a mutation (change) in one or more of the genes that help blood cells develop. People with CCUS have low levels of certain kinds of blood cells. CCUS can lead to precancerous conditions such as myelodysplastic syndrome or blood cancers such as acute myeloid leukemia.
Normally when people have B-cell lymphoma that is not in complete remission, they do not immediately have another treatment. They have observation. That means their doctor closely monitors their disease with imaging tests to see if their disease is improving or worsening. If their disease gets worse, they may receive more treatment.
