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 assess the safety and effectiveness of combining a "bivalent" vaccine with two agents that stimulate the immune system: a sugar called beta-glucan and a medication called GM-CSF. The treatment is designed to prevent the relapse of patients with high-risk neuroblastoma that is in complete remission. This bivalent vaccine works by stimulating an immune response against two different antigens, which are markers on the surface of a cell.
In this study, researchers want to find the best doses of 2 different drug combinations. This study is for people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that keeps growing even after treatment. You also must have changes (mutations or variants) in the FLT3 gene, and in either the IDH1 or IDH2 genes. The FLT3 gene can cause cancer cells to grow. The IDH1 and IDH2 genes cause low blood cell counts.
Atezolizumab is a standard treatment for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC, cancer which has spread). Researchers want to see if adding valemetostat to atezolizumab therapy is safe for people with SCLC. The people in this study have extensive-stage SCLC and have completed 4 treatment cycles of atezolizumab with chemotherapy.
Researchers are comparing different treatments for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). The people in this study have TNBC that has been surgically removed.
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.
Researchers want to see how well the combination of obinutuzumab, sonrotoclax, and zanubrutinib works against leukemia and lymphoma. The people in this study have chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) that has not been treated.
Severe aplastic anemia is a serious condition where the bone marrow does not make the normal amount of blood cells. Bone marrow transplantation is one way to treat this disease. It has been reserved for people under age 40 with a related donor whose cells fully match theirs. However, advances have been made in bone marrow transplantation that make it an option for more people.
Cancer that has spread from a solid tumor to the membranes lining the brain and spinal cord (leptomeninges) is called "leptomeningeal metastasis." Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is located between the leptomeninges, in a place called the "intrathecal space." Cancer cells within the CSF rely on iron for growth and survival. Researchers think that the study drug, deferoxamine (DFO), may be an effective treatment for leptomeningeal metastases because it helps remove iron from the body (including the CSF).
Researchers want to find the best dose of BDTX-4933 to use in people with advanced lung cancer. The people in this study have non-small cell lung cancer that has a mutation (change or variant) in the BRAF or KRAS genes (KRAS non-G12C mutation). This mutation can cause cancer cells to grow.
Researchers in this study want to see how a new form of radiation therapy works to treat metastatic cancer. Metastatic means the cancer has spread to another part of the body from its original place. The people in this study have solid tumors that spread to soft tissues in the chest, abdomen (belly), or pelvis. In addition, they need radiation therapy to help control symptoms such as pain.
