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 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.
The purpose of this study is to assess stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) to treat people with small cell lung cancer (SCLC) who have been newly diagnosed with brain metastases (cancer that spread to the brain). SRS specifically targets a very small area of the body. By targeting the part of the brain where the cancer has spread, SRS may shrink the cancer without damaging healthy brain tissue.
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.

Inotuzumab ozogamicin is a drug used to treat adults with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) that has come back or continued to grow despite prior therapy. In this study, researchers are evaluating its use in children and young adults with recurrent or persistent B-cell ALL.
Researchers want to see if combining pembrolizumab, ibrutinib, and rituximab works well against primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL). The people in this study have PCNSL that keeps growing or came back even with treatment.
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 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.
