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.
The purpose of this study is to find the highest dose of the investigational treatment UCART22 that can be given safely in children and young adults with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) that has come back or continued to grow despite treatment. UCART22 is a form of CAR T-cell therapy. It is made from white blood cells (T cells) from healthy donors. The T cells are genetically modified in a laboratory to identify and destroy cancer cells containing a protein called CD22.
This clinical trial explores a novel approach to treating mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). Researchers are integrating targeted agents into standard induction and maintenance chemoimmunotherapy.  The people in this study have MCL that has not yet been treated.
Chemotherapy can cause symptoms, such as nausea and fatigue, and some patients have difficulty working during this treatment. The purpose of this study is to learn more about how chemotherapy for breast cancer affects patients' employment.
CAR T-cell therapy is a form of immunotherapy used to treat some adults with lymphoma. The treatment involves utilizing a patient's own T cells and genetically modifying them in the laboratory to recognize a protein on their cancer cells. The modified T cells, known as CAR T cells, are then returned to the patient to find and kill cancerous cells throughout the body.
Researchers want to learn if canakinumab can prevent cancer from developing in people with clonal cytopenia of undetermined significance (CCUS). In CCUS, there is a mutation (change) in one or more of the genes that help blood cells develop. People with CCUS have low levels of certain kinds of blood cells.
People with early-stage breast cancer who undergo lumpectomy have traditionally also received radiation therapy and hormonal (endocrine) therapy to reduce their risk of breast cancer recurrence. Doctors want to know if some patients with low-risk early-stage breast cancer can forgo radiation therapy (which takes several weeks and has side effects) and do as well if they receive only hormonal therapy after lumpectomy.
Researchers are assessing a combination of medications to see if they work well against upper digestive cancers. The people in this study have esophagus, stomach, or gastro-esophageal junction cancers that spread and keep growing after treatment.
Researchers want to find the best dose of BH-30236 to treat people with leukemia. This study includes people with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) that relapsed (came back) after treatment. It also includes people with higher-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Higher-risk means a disease has a higher chance of coming back or not responding to standard treatment.
In this study, researchers want to find the best dose of XmAb819 to treat kidney cancer. The people in this study have clear cell renal cell cancer that keeps growing or came back after standard treatments.
Researchers are comparing two new combination drug treatments with the standard therapy for multiple myeloma. The people in this study have multiple myeloma that is newly diagnosed. In addition, they cannot have an autologous stem cell transplant with high-dose chemotherapy.
