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 nivolumab immunotherapy alone and with the drug cabozantinib to reduce the chance that mucosal melanoma will come back after surgery. Nivolumab boosts the power of the immune system to detect and destroy cancer cells. Cabozantinib inhibits cancer cell growth by blocking certain enzymes.
Researchers want to find the best dose of DCC-3009 to use in people with gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). The people in this study have GIST that has metastasized (spread) after treatment. In addition, their cancers have a mutation (change) in the KIT or PDGFRA gene. These mutations are common in people with GIST and can cause cancer to grow.
Researchers want to find the highest dose of DISC-0974 to use in people with myelofibrosis and anemia. Myelofibrosis happens when bone marrow cells called fibroblasts make too much fibrous (scar) tissue. The bone marrow is not able to make enough blood cells, which leads to anemia. Anemia is a reduced number of red blood cells, and it causes tiredness and shortness of breath.
Researchers are assessing trametinib and azacitidine alone and with other drugs to treat leukemia in young people. The people in this study have newly diagnosed juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML).
Researchers are assessing a new way of giving isatuximab with carfilzomib and dexamethasone in people with multiple myeloma. Isatuximab is injected under the skin using a wearable device attached to the skin of the stomach area. Carfilzomib will be given intravenously (by vein). Dexamethasone can be taken orally (by mouth) or intravenously. 
Researchers want to find the best doses of different drugs to use together in people with advanced urothelial cancer. The people in this study have urothelial cancer that metastasized (spread) and has not yet been treated.
The usual treatment for brain metastases (cancer that spread to the brain) is a single treatment of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). SRS uses special equipment to position the patient and precisely give a single large dose of radiation to a tumor.
In this study, researchers are assessing the safety and effectiveness of using the drug ruxolitinib in patients with T-cell lymphoma or natural killer (NK)-cell lymphoma that has come back or continued to grow despite prior treatment. Ruxolitinib is already approved for treating a bone marrow disease called myelofibrosis. It works by inhibiting a protein called JAK, which works with another protein called STAT to promote the growth of many T-cell and NK-cell lymphomas. By blocking JAK, ruxolitinib may cause lymphomas to shrink.
Researchers are seeking the best dose of revumenib (SNDX-5613) to give with chemotherapy in people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The people in this study have AML that has not yet been treated. In addition, their cancers have a mutation (change) in the KMT2Ar, NPM1c, or NUP98r gene.
Chordoma is a type of bone cancer that develops in the spine or the base of the skull. Researchers are doing this study to learn if ERAS-601 is safe and works well in people with chordoma. The people in this study have chordoma that is inoperable (cannot be taken out with surgery) or has spread.
