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 ado-trastuzumab emtansine with the usual treatment (docetaxel and trastuzumab) in people with recurrent, inoperable, or metastatic salivary gland cancer that makes the HER2 protein. Ado-trastuzumab emtansine is a monoclonal antibody (trastuzumab) linked to a chemotherapy drug (emtansine). Trastuzumab attaches to HER2 on cancer cells and delivers emtansine to kill them.
Researchers want to see how well EP0031 works to treat cancer. The people in this study have solid tumors with a mutation (change) in a gene called RET.
Autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) is a standard treatment for multiple myeloma. An ASCT replaces the blood-forming cells destroyed by disease or treatment with healthy cells collected from your blood. Before ASCT, people generally receive a standard drug, melphalan, to prepare the body for the transplant.
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.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of treating patients with recurrent and newly diagnosed glioblastoma using new therapies that are thought to be effective for treating brain cancer. The new therapies available as part of this clinical trial include regorafenib, VAL-083, and paxalisib.
The purpose of this study is to compare proton beam radiation therapy with intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) in patients with stage I-IVA esophageal cancer. Both approaches send radiation inside the body to a tumor without damaging much of the healthy tissue around it. However, proton beam radiation therapy uses protons while IMRT uses photons (high-energy x-rays).
Peritoneal mesothelioma is a cancer of the inner lining of the abdomen (belly). The people in this study will be having surgery to take out as much of the cancer as possible. They will also receive heated chemotherapy given directly into the abdomen to kill any remaining cancer cells.
For people with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML), the more leukemia cells are destroyed, the better their long-term outcomes. In this study, researchers want to see adding venetoclax to standard chemotherapy (daunorubicin/cytarabine) or giving it with azacitidine works better than standard therapy for getting rid of the small amount of remaining leukemia cells. The people in this study include young adults with intermediate-risk AML.
Researchers want to find the best doses of BNT324 and BNT327 when given together to treat lung cancer. The people in this study have lung cancer that spread and came back or got worse after treatment.
