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.
ARV-806 is designed to help get rid of bad or unwanted proteins. It breaks down the KRAS protein in cancer cells, which plays a role in cancer growth and survival. By targeting this protein, ARV-806 may help slow or stop the growth of your cancer. It is given intravenously (by vein).
The goal of this study is to find the best dose of lenalidomide that can be given together with the usual combination chemotherapy in adults with HTLV-associated T-cell leukemia-lymphoma. The usual chemotherapy consists of the drugs etoposide, prednisone, vincristine sulfate (Oncovin), cyclophosphamide, and doxorubicin hydrochloride (hydroxydaunorubicin hydrochloride) and is known as EPOCH. Lenalidomide may help shrink or slow the growth of adult T-cell leukemia-lymphoma.
In this study, researchers are comparing the effectiveness bevacizumab plus osimertinib versus osimertinib alone as initial treatment for patients with stage IIIB-IV non-small cell lung cancer that contains a mutation in a gene called EGFR.
The purpose of this study is to find out how cancer treatments (chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy) affect reproductive and sexual health in people with early-onset colorectal cancer (diagnosed before age 50). Researchers will observe and track changes in hormone levels and in sexual and reproductive health in the study participants. This information will help them learn more about how cancer treatments affect reproductive and sexual health, including the ability to have children (fertility).
Cetuximab binds to a protein called EGFR, which is found on some types of tumor cells. This drug may help keep tumor cells from growing. Pembrolizumab helps the body's immune system attack the tumor and may interfere with tumor growth and spread.
A standard approach for early-stage rectal cancer is treatment with chemotherapy and radiation therapy followed by surgery. In this study, researchers are comparing two approaches to prevent the need for rectal resection (removal of all or nearly all of the rectum) in people with early rectal cancer: chemotherapy or chemotherapy and radiation with observation or limited surgery (removing only the area with the tumor, not the entire rectum).
Researchers are assessing the use of cobimetinib to treat Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) and other histiocytic disorders. Histiocytic disorders are diseases caused by the abnormal function or buildup of immune cells called histiocytes. Cobimetinib works by blocking the activity of a protein called MEK. This protein leads to the abnormal growth and development of histiocytosis cells.
Cancer and its treatment may affect sexual and reproductive health. The purpose of this study is to evaluate sexual and reproductive health over several years among women age 50 and younger newly diagnosed with breast cancer or lymphoma.
The purpose of this study is to compare three types of support for parents who have experienced the death of a child due to cancer. The study team will assess how these different types of support affect participants' grief and depression symptoms. The three types of support parents may receive are called Meaning-Centered Grief Therapy, Supportive Counseling, and Enhanced Usual Care.
When some cancers become advanced, particularly colorectal cancer, they may spread to the liver. Destroying the tissue with electromagnetic waves that produce extremely high temperatures, a procedure called "thermal ablation," is one way to treat these liver metastases.
