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 drug alectinib that can be given safely in children and adolescents with solid tumors or brain and spinal cord cancers that persist after treatment and have a genetic change called an ALK gene fusion. With this gene fusion, the ALK gene attaches to part of another gene.
Researchers are assessing Lutetium-FAP for people with advanced pancreatic cancer. Lutetium-FAP is a drug with a radioactive part attached. It targets cancer cells that make a protein called FAP, which may help cancer grow and survive. Lutetium-FAP combines a radiation-emitting metal with a tumor-targeting agent to deliver radiation into a tumor and destroy cancer cells.
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.
The combination of radiation therapy and chemotherapy (chemoradiation) is a standard treatment for people with HPV-positive throat cancer. HPV is human papillomavirus and can cause throat cancer. Standard chemoradiation may cause severe side effects such as mouth and gut sores, sore throat, and changes in taste.
In this study, researchers are comparing a combination of two new drugs with standard treatment for ovarian cancer. The two drugs are avutometinib and defactinib. The people in this study have low-grade serous ovarian cancer that came back after treatment.
Researchers want to find the best dose of ADCLEC.syn1 that can be used in people with leukemia. The people in this study have acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that keeps growing even after treatment. There are currently no FDA-approved CAR T cell therapies for AML.
Researchers want to find the best dose of EVM14 when used alone or with pembrolizumab in people with solid tumors. The people in this study have a solid tumor that keeps growing after treatment and has spread. This study includes people with:
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.
This study is assessing the safety and effectiveness of ASTX727 in people who have malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNST) with a mutation in a gene complex called PRC2 (EED or SUZ12). ASTX727 is a combination of two drugs (cedazuridine and decitabine) that have been designed to target cancer cells with a PRC2 complex genetic mutation and disrupt the cells' ability to survive and grow.
Researchers are assessing a personalized cancer vaccine called V940 plus pembrolizumab immunotherapy to prevent lung cancer recurrence. The people in this study had surgery to remove non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), followed by chemotherapy.
