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 learn if the radiopharmaceutical therapy 177Lu-PSMA-617 is a safe treatment for people with glioma. Radiopharmaceutical therapy delivers radiation directly into a tumor to destroy cancer cells.
-
Researchers are measuring the safety of ivonescimab when given with standard lung cancer treatments and seeing how well it works. The people in this study have been newly diagnosed with squamous non-small cell lung cancer that has metastasized (spread).
-
This purpose of this study is to assess whether adding trastuzumab/hyaluronidase-oysk or pertuzumab/trastuzumab/hyaluronidase-zzxf to the usual chemotherapy (paclitaxel and carboplatin) shrinks tumors in patients with HER2-positive endometrial serous carcinoma or carcinosarcoma.
- A Phase II Study of Pembrolizumab Immunotherapy plus Local Chemotherapy using Isolated Limb Infusion for Patients with Advanced Sarcoma in the Arm or Leg
Full Title A Phase II Study of Concurrent Systemic Pembrolizumab and Isolated Limb Infusion (ILI) with Melphalan and Dactinomycin for Patients with Locally Advanced or Metastatic Extremity Sarcoma
Purpose
Isolated limb infusion (ILI) is a way to give anticancer drugs directly into an arm or leg to treat a sarcoma. However, despite this treatment, sometimes the cancer still spreads to other parts of the body. In this study, researchers want to see if adding the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab to ILI treatment with the chemotherapy drugs melphalan and dactinomycin can help prevent the spread of cancer and increase the effectiveness of the ILI treatment in people with advanced sarcoma.
Pembrolizumab works by blocking a molecule called PD-1 that shuts down the immune response. Blocking PD-1 can allow the immune system to detect and attack cancer cells. Pembrolizumab is already approved to treat several cancers; its use in combination with ILI is considered investigational. It is given intravenously (by vein).
Who Can Join
To be eligible for this study, patients must meet several criteria, including but not limited to the following:
- Patients must have advanced sarcoma in an arm or leg that persists despite prior treatment. This includes myxofibrosarcoma, undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma, and alveolar soft part sarcoma.
- Patients must be eligible for ILI treatment and pembrolizumab.
- At least 2 weeks must pass between the completion of prior therapy and entry into the study.
- Patients must be able to walk and do routine activities for more than half of their normal waking hours.
- This study is for patients age 18 and older.
For more information about this study and to inquire about eligibility, please contact Dr. Edmund Bartlett at 212-639-2448.

Researchers want to find the best dose of ETX-19477 to treat cancer. The people in this study have solid tumors that keep growing even after treatment.
-
Researchers are assessing MEDI5752 and AZD2936 with standard treatments in people with cancer. The people in this study have primary liver or biliary cancer, including biliary tract or gallbladder cancer, that spread or cannot be surgically removed (inoperable). In addition, they have not yet received treatment for the cancer.
-
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of the drug mosunetuzumab for people with follicular lymphoma who have not yet received treatment. Mosunetuzumab binds to a cancer cell and a T cell (which plays a key role in the immune system) at the same time. Researchers think that mosunetuzumab may strengthen the immune system's ability to fight cancer cells by activating a patient's own cells to destroy the tumor. Mosunetuzumab is given as a subcutaneous (under the skin) injection.
-
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of cesium-131 (Cs-131) brachytherapy in patients with brain cancer that has come back after prior radiation therapy and who will be having surgery to remove it. Brachytherapy involves the placement of radioactive seeds into the brain during surgery. The seeds remain in place permanently in the area where the tumor was removed and give off cancer-killing radiation temporarily. 
-
The purpose of this study is to find the highest dose of the investigational drug AVA6000 that can be given safely in people with advanced solid tumors that are not responding to treatment. AVA6000 is very similar to a standard chemotherapy drug called doxorubicin. Like doxorubicin, AVA6000 works to slow or stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking an enzyme. Unlike doxorubicin, however, AVA6000 is a "prodrug," meaning it remains inactive until it reaches the site of the cancer. Because of the way AVA6000 works, it may be useful for treating cancer with fewer side effects than doxorubicin. AVA6000 is given intravenously (by vein).
