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).
Cancer and its treatment can cause problems with attention, memory, and learning. These cognitive difficulties may affect your daily activities and worsen your quality of life.
Researchers are assessing the safety of the drug VT3989 in people with mesothelioma. The people in this study have mesothelioma with a mutation (change or variant) in the NF2 gene.
Researchers in this study want to find the best dose of STAR0602 to use in people with advanced solid tumors. The people in this study have cancer that is inoperable (cannot be taken out with surgery) or metastatic (has spread). STAR0602 boosts the immune system to stop tumor growth. It is given intravenously (by vein).
Researchers want to see how well the drug enasidenib works in people with angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL). The people in this study have AITL that came back or keeps growing after treatment. Their cancers also have a mutation (change) in the IDH2 gene.
Researchers are doing this study to see if Revaree Plus improves vaginal health in people treated for breast cancer. The people in this study are having symptoms of vaginal dryness or discomfort during breast cancer treatment.
Researchers are assessing a new type of therapy in young people with solid tumors that keep growing even after treatment. The therapy is called afamitresgene autoleucel. The people in this study have synovial sarcoma, malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST), neuroblastoma, or osteosarcoma. In addition, they have tested positive for the HLA-A*02 gene and their cancers make a protein called MAGE-A4. This protein plays a role in cancer growth.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of partial breast radiation therapy given over a three-day period (three weekdays in a row) in women with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) or early-stage invasive breast cancer after lumpectomy. Women who are not in a research study usually receive radiation therapy to the whole breast over three weeks or receive partial breast irradiation over a five- to ten-day period.
Unfavorable intermediate-risk prostate cancers have not spread beyond the prostate but have a chance of coming back. They are usually treated with surgery or radiation therapy, with or without hormonal therapy. One of the more common standard treatment approaches is hormonal therapy called androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), which reduces the levels of male sex hormones, followed by external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) to the prostate and nearby lymph nodes.
