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 study is assessing the safety and effectiveness of giving tucatinib and trastuzumab followed by standard CAPOX chemotherapy (the drugs capecitabine and oxaliplatin) in people with locally advanced rectal cancer that has not yet been treated and makes a protein called HER2. Tucatinib and trastuzumab both block HER2, which stimulates cancer cell growth.
Plasmablastic lymphoma is a type of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). The purpose of this study is to determine if adding daratumumab to a standard chemotherapy regimen (DA-EPOCH) is a safe way to increase the effectiveness of treatment in people with plasmablastic lymphoma.   
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.
Researchers want to know if eating a plant-based diet and taking certain nutritional supplements may be helpful for reducing the risk of progression to multiple myeloma in people with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) or smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM). People with MGUS and SMM have an abnormal protein called the M protein in their blood and are at risk of developing multiple myeloma.
The purpose of this study is to assess stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) to treat people with small cell lung cancer (SCLC) who have been newly diagnosed with brain metastases (cancer that spread to the brain). SRS specifically targets a very small area of the body. By targeting the part of the brain where the cancer has spread, SRS may shrink the cancer without damaging healthy brain tissue.
The purpose of this study is to find the highest dose of the investigational drug XMT-1660 that can be given safely in people with advanced triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) that persists despite prior chemotherapy. TNBC includes breast cancers that do not contain receptors for estrogen or progesterone and do not have the HER2 protein, so they cannot be treated with medications that target those proteins.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety of the investigational treatment REGN4018 alone and in combination with cemiplimab in women with ovarian, peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer that has come back or gotten worse after previous treatment. REGN4018 is a type of drug called a bispecific antibody: it binds to two specific proteins (MUC16 and CD3) that may be involved in the growth and survival of cancer.
In this study, researchers are finding the highest dose of MQ710 to use safely in people with certain types of advanced cancer. The people in this study have solid tumors that came back or grew even after treatment. In a later part of the study, the researchers will assess MQ710 plus another drug called pembrolizumab.
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.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of the investigational drug MORAb-202 in people with endometrial or ovarian cancer. MORAb-202 targets a protein called FRA on cancer cells and delivers eribulin (a chemotherapy drug) directly to these cells, which may slow or stop cancer growth. MORAb-202 is given intravenously (by vein).
