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.
This purpose of this study is to assess two interventions to improve cancer care for older adults with cancer. Patients will be randomly assigned to one of the two interventions, which each consist of four surveys, five telephone sessions, and four subsequent "booster" calls with a licensed mental health counselor. The five telephone sessions each last about 45-60 minutes; the booster calls each last approximately 20-30 minutes. These surveys will include questions about each patient's illness, quality of life, depression, anxiety, and attitudes about aging and can be done via computer or over the phone. Patients will be compensated for their participation.
Researchers want to find the best dose of HC-7366 to use alone and with belzutifan in people with kidney cancer. The people in this study have advanced renal cell carcinoma (kidney cancer) that keeps growing after prior treatments. The cancer either cannot be removed (is inoperable) or has metastasized (spread). 
Researchers are assessing treatment with BGB-16673 in combination with other anti-cancer medications in people with B-cell cancers. These cancers include:
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of the drug trastuzumab deruxtecan (also known as DS-8201A) in patients with inoperable or metastatic solid tumors that produce too much of a protein called HER2, including biliary tract, bladder, cervical, endometrial, ovarian, and pancreatic cancers.
Researchers are doing this study to see if the combination of epcoritamab, zanubrutinib, and rituximab works well against lymphoma. The people in this study have follicular lymphoma that has come back or keeps growing after treatment.
Doctors want to know if giving emapalumab as upfront pre-treatment works well for people with severe acquired aplastic anemia (sAA). This medication is given after diagnosis, but before standard sAA treatment. In people with sAA, stem cells are destroyed and the body cannot make new blood cells.
Primary immune regulatory disorder (PIRD) and autoinflammatory conditions are conditions of the immune system that can cause an unusual amount of inflammation. While a stem cell transplant is a standard treatment for people with a PIRD or autoinflammatory condition, the inflammation caused by these conditions can reduce the effectiveness of this treatment.
Chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) is a condition in which healthy transplanted stem cells attack the recipient's healthy cells. cGVHD most often happens more than 100 days after a stem cell transplant, but it can happen at any time.
In this study, researchers are assessing a new way to determine the best dosing of fludarabine. The people in this study are children and young adults getting CAR T-cell therapy for B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). Their cancer has come back or keeps growing despite treatment. They will be getting a CAR T-cell therapy called tisagenlecleucel (Kymriah).
Aromatase inhibitors (AIs) are drugs that many people take for several years after initial breast cancer treatment. They are designed to reduce the chance that the breast cancer will come back. However, people who take AIs often develop a type of joint pain known as aromatase inhibitor-associated arthralgia (AIA). Those with AIA often reduce their physical activity and have an increased risk of falling. Some people stop taking their AIs because of this pain.
