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.

Radiation delivered to metastatic tumors is known to cause damage to the DNA (genetic information) in the cancer cells, which causes them to die. An ATM mutation reduces cancer cells' ability to fix damage to their DNA, making it more likely that the radiation will kill ATM-mutated cancer cells. Lower doses of radiation therapy may cause fewer side effects than standard doses. In this study, researchers will observe the side effects of reduced-dose radiation therapy in patients with metastatic tumors that contain an ATM mutation and the rate at which tumors grow back (recur) after this treatment. It is hoped that lowering the radiation dose will be effective while reducing the side effects of treatment.

Researchers are assessing JCAR017 in people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL). The people in this study have CLL or SLL that came back or keeps growing after treatment.

Researchers want to know if eating a plant-based diet and taking certain nutritional supplements may be helpful for reducing the risk of progression to multiple myeloma in people with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) or smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM). People with MGUS and SMM have an abnormal protein called the M protein in their blood and are at risk of developing multiple myeloma.

- A Phase 2 Study of Azacitidine and Venetoclax in People With Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Full Title A Phase 2 Study of Azacitidine and Venetoclax to Treat Acute Myeloid Leukemia Patients with Measurable Residual Disease before an Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplant
Purpose
Some people treated for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with induction (initial) chemotherapy are left with minimal residual disease (MRD). With MRD, there is a small number of leukemia cells from the bone marrow remaining in the body. MRD increases the chance that the cancer will come back after a bone marrow transplant from a donor.
The drugs azacitidine and venetoclax may work well to get rid of or lower MRD in people with AML. Researchers are doing this study to see if this can be achieved with one treatment cycle of azacitidine and venetoclax. They hope that giving these drugs before a bone marrow transplant will reduce the chance of the leukemia coming back. Azacitidine is given intravenously (by vein) or as an injection, and venetoclax is taken orally (by mouth).
Who Can Join
To join this study, there are a few conditions. You must:
- Have AML with MRD after induction chemotherapy.
- Be planning to receive a bone marrow transplant from a donor.
- Be age 18 or older.
- You may join this study even if you need help taking care of yourself. You may also join even if you are in a bed or chair for more than half the time you’re awake.

The genetic and biochemical makeup of a tumor influences its aggressiveness and the choice of the most appropriate therapy. The purpose of this research study is to determine the genetic and biochemical makeup of neuroblastic tumors, including neuroblastoma, ganglioneuroblastoma, ganglioneuroma, and paraganglioma. These research studies will include analysis of substances called markers that exist on the surface of cancer cells; cytogenetic studies; the identification of genes related to the development of these cancers and to tumor growth; and studies of tumor growth in test tubes. Patients' blood and bone marrow will also be tested for the presence of tumor cells or leukemia cells.

In this study, researchers want to find out how different amounts of aerobic training might improve cardiorespiratory fitness in people while they are treated for breast cancer. Cardiorespiratory fitness is important for the health of people receiving treatment for breast cancer. Aerobic exercise stimulates and strengthens the heart and lungs and improves how the body uses oxygen.

Researchers in this study are comparing two different treatments for hairy cell leukemia. The people in this study have hairy cell leukemia that has not yet been treated. In addition, their leukemia has a genetic mutation (change) called BRAF V600E.

The standard treatment for head and neck cancers includes high-dose radiation therapy and chemotherapy, but it commonly causes side effects. In this study, researchers are assessing a treatment for head and neck cancer that starts with standard high-dose radiation therapy and chemotherapy and then reduces the doses of both treatments. Patients then have surgery to remove lymph nodes and tissue from the neck area.

When people have Richter's transformation, their chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)/small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) changes into a more aggressive disease. Researchers are assessing a new drug combination for people with Richter's transformation that came back or keeps growing after treatment.
