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 are expanding access to the drug zidesamtinib for people with advanced solid tumors. The people in this study have non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or another solid tumor with a fusion (change) in the ROS1 gene. This fusion can cause cancer cells to multiply and spread.
The purpose of this study is to find the highest dose of the drug alectinib that can be given safely in children and adolescents with solid tumors or brain and spinal cord cancers that persist after treatment and have a genetic change called an ALK gene fusion. With this gene fusion, the ALK gene attaches to part of another gene.
Researchers are comparing different sequences of therapy for people with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma. All participants will get cilta-cel CAR T-cell therapy, a form of immunotherapy made from your own white blood cells.
Researchers are comparing several combination drug treatments for people with cancer of the stomach or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ). The people in this study have gastric or GEJ cancer that metastasized (spread) or is inoperable (cannot be surgically removed). In addition, their tumors make a protein called HER2.
Researchers want to find the best dose of DCC-3116 to give with ripretinib for people with gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). The people in this study have GIST that has spread, even with treatment.
Researchers are comparing two different treatments for breast cancer that metastasized (spread) and makes high levels of the HER2 protein. The people in this study have metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer that keeps growing after trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd). Or they may have had bad side effects from this drug and had to stop taking it.
Researchers are studying combining RMC-6236 with other anti-cancer drugs in people with advanced digestive cancers (pancreatic, colorectal cancer, and others). The people in this study have either:
Researchers want to find the best doses of abemaciclib and cabozantinib to use in people with advanced kidney cancer. The people in this study have clear cell renal cell carcinoma that metastasized (spread); they previously received other kidney cancer therapies. In addition, their cancer keeps growing even after 2 or 3 prior treatments, including checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy.
The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility of a new approach to treat people with T4 breast cancer who have already received chemotherapy. T4 breast cancer occurs when the cancer has grown beyond normal breast tissue and into the chest wall or skin or has become swollen and causes pain. Doctors normally treat T4 breast cancer with chemotherapy followed by mastectomy and removal of underarm (axillary) lymph nodes. After mastectomy, patients normally receive radiation therapy and then have breast reconstruction surgery many months to years after completing radiotherapy.
