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.
After a stem cell transplant, a condition called chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) can occur. The new donor immune cells (like T cells and B cells) attack the recipient's healthy tissues, thinking they are foreign. It usually starts around 100 days after the transplant, but it can begin earlier or later.
Researchers are doing this study to find out whether combining the standard chemotherapy for head and neck cancer with the immunotherapy drugs cetuximab and cemiplimab is a safe treatment. They also want to know if receiving this combination treatment before surgery may allow patients to forgo the standard radiation treatment given after surgery.
People with multiple myeloma have a higher chance of getting infections because of the disease and its treatment. Some people who get a multiple myeloma drug called a bispecific monoclonal antibody (BsAb) develop hypogammaglobulinemia. The level of immunoglobulins in their blood is low and the risk of infection is high. Immunoglobulins are proteins made by the immune system to prevent infections.
BNT326 is a type of drug called an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC). ADCs are made of a monoclonal antibody linked to a drug. The antibody binds to a protein on cancer cells called HER3, which plays a role in cancer cell growth. It then releases the anti-cancer drug to kill the cancer cell. By destroying these cells, BNT326 may help slow or stop the growth of your cancer. It is given intravenously (by vein).
Researchers want to find the best dose of LY4052031 to treat people with advanced solid tumors. The people in this study have metastatic solid tumors that came back or keep growing after treatment. In addition, their tumors make a protein called Nectin-4, which plays a role in cancer growth.
Researchers want to see if a test for cancer DNA in the blood helps doctors decide whether to reduce Hodgkin lymphoma chemotherapy. The blood test is a circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) test called Foresight CLARITY. ctDNA is genetic material released by tumor cells directly into the bloodstream.
Inotuzumab ozogamicin is a drug used to treat adults with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) that has come back or continued to grow despite prior therapy. In this study, researchers are evaluating its use in children and young adults with recurrent or persistent B-cell ALL.
Researchers want to see if giving stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) after osimertinib is better than osimertinib alone for advanced lung cancer. The people in this study have non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that metastasized (spread) to the brain. Their cancers have a mutation (change) in the EGFR gene, and they are taking or planning to take osimertinib.
Doctors are assessing a new photodynamic therapy (PDT) for prostate cancer that has not spread beyond the prostate. This treatment is performed in an operating room while you are under general anesthesia.
Ibrutinib and rituximab are the standard treatment for Waldenström's macroglobulinemia (WM) and lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (LL). In this study, researchers want to see if giving the medication venetoclax with the standard treatment is safe and more effective than the standard treatment alone in people with previously untreated WM/LL.
