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 want to find the best dose of VLS-1488 to treat various types of advanced cancer. VLS-1488 blocks KIF18A, a protein that plays a role in the rapid growth of cancer cells. By blocking KIF18A, VLS-1488 may cause cancer cells to stop growing and die. VLS-1488 is taken orally (by mouth).
In addition, their cancers have a fusion (change) in the ALK gene. The fusion gene makes a protein that promotes cancer growth and survival. This type of cancer is called ALK-positive NSCLC.
The purpose of this study is to find the highest dose of the investigational drug NVL-655 that can be given safely in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or other solid tumors that contain a genetic change called an ALK gene fusion. NVL-655 is a type of drug called a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), which works by blocking proteins that fuel cancer growth. However, some cancer cells develop resistance to TKI treatment.
Gemcitabine and oxaliplatin (GemOx) is a standard chemotherapy combination used to treat a cancer of the bile ducts called cholangiocarcinoma. In this study, researchers want to see if adding another treatment that is delivered by a pump device (hepatic arterial infusion or HAI) to GemOx therapy is more effective than GemOx alone for patients with previously untreated inoperable cholangiocarcinoma. The HAI pump, which is implanted in the abdomen during a surgical procedure, continuously delivers the drugs floxuridine and dexamethasone directly to the liver.
The purpose of this study is to find the highest dose of the investigational drug RP-6306 that can be used in advanced solid tumors containing certain genetic changes and which have come back or continued to grow despite prior treatment. 
Researchers want to find the best dose of LY4170156 to treat people with solid tumors. The people in this study have solid tumors that keep growing even after treatment. Their tumors also make a protein called FRA, which plays a role in cancer growth. The tumors treated in this study include:
The purpose of this study is to find the highest dose of the investigational drug NVL-520 that can be given safely in people with metastatic solid tumors that contain a change (fusion) involving the ROS1 gene. A fusion gene is made when parts of two different genes join together. NVL-520 blocks the ROS1 protein, which promotes cancer cell growth and survival. It is taken orally (by mouth
Researchers want to see if a steroid-free approach using ruxolitinib, with or without axatilimab, works well to treat cGVHD. Ruxolitinib blocks JAK proteins, which may reduce inflammation (swelling) and immune system reactions related to GVHD. Axatilimab blocks a protein called CSF-1R that controls white blood cells which play a role in GVHD.
Osimertinib is a standard treatment for metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has a change (mutation) in the EGFR gene. Researchers think that adding chemotherapy to osimertinib could make treatment more effective.
