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.
In this study, researchers are comparing selumetinib plus olaparib to selumetinib alone to treat endometrial or ovarian cancer. People in this study have cancer that came back or keeps growing after treatment. In addition, their cancers have a change (mutation or variant) in a RAS gene.
Researchers want to see if combining pembrolizumab immunotherapy with standard treatment works well for people with ovarian cancer. The people in this study have ovarian cancer with minimal residual disease (MRD). MRD is a small amount of cancer cells remaining in the body after treatment.
When vulvar cancer is removed, surgeons examine the first lymph nodes to which cancer might spread ("sentinel lymph nodes") to see if they contain cancer cells. If the sentinel lymph nodes contain cancer, the usual treatment is more surgery to remove all of the lymph nodes in the groin, followed by several weeks of radiation therapy to reduce the chance that the cancer will come back. However, removing all of the lymph nodes increases the risk of lymphedema, which causes uncomfortable swelling in the legs, as well as an elevated risk of infection.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of the investigational drug repotrectinib in children and young adults with solid tumors that have continued to grow or spread despite treatment. Repotrectinib works by targeting and blocking certain proteins that play a role in cancer growth. Some of these proteins are controlled by the ALK, ROS1, NTRK1, NTRK2, and NTRK3 genes. Researchers also think that combining repotrectinib with the chemotherapy drugs irinotecan and temozolomide may make the treatment more effective.
The purpose of this study is to establish a registry to learn about neurocutaneous melanocytosis (NCM) and how people respond to treatments for this rare disease. NCM is seen mainly in children born with large dark-colored areas of skin called cutaneous melanocytic nevi (LCMN). About one in four of children with LCMN also develop NCM.
Teclistamab is given as an injection under the skin. The goal is to see if lower doses or stopping treatment will have the same benefit with fewer side effects.
Researchers are assessing the combination of BNT326 and BNT327 in people with advanced lung cancer that has spread. The people in this study have non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that came back or keeps growing after treatment.
The purpose of this study is to find the highest dose of the investigational drug XMT-1660 that can be given safely in people with advanced triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) that persists despite prior chemotherapy. TNBC includes breast cancers that do not contain receptors for estrogen or progesterone and do not have the HER2 protein, so they cannot be treated with medications that target those proteins.
Researchers want to find the best dose of BMS-986504 to use safely in people with lung cancer. The people in this study have non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that spread beyond its original location. In addition, their tumors are missing the MTAP gene.
Researchers want to see if the combination of epcoritamab and ibrutinib is a safe treatment for people with central nervous system lymphoma (CNSL) that keeps growing or came back after treatment.
