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 want to see how well a personalized vaccine works for people with pancreatic cancer. The people in this study have pancreatic cancer that can be taken out with surgery. The vaccine is called autogene cevumeran. It is an "mRNA vaccine," made in a way similar to the vaccines used to prevent COVID. It will be given in combination with a drug called atezolizumab and a chemotherapy treatment called mFOLFIRINOX.
In addition, their cancers have a fusion (change) in the ALK gene. The fusion gene makes a protein that promotes cancer growth and survival. This type of cancer is called ALK-positive NSCLC.
People with multiple myeloma have a higher chance of getting infections because of the disease and its treatment. Some people who get a multiple myeloma drug called a bispecific monoclonal antibody (BsAb) develop hypogammaglobulinemia. The level of immunoglobulins in their blood is low and the risk of infection is high. Immunoglobulins are proteins made by the immune system to prevent infections.
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 see if combining AZD0901 and rilvegostomig with standard chemotherapy works well in people with gastric or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) cancer. GEJ cancer occurs where the esophagus joins the stomach.
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.
Researchers are comparing different sequences of therapy for people with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma. All participants will get cilta-cel CAR T-cell therapy, a form of immunotherapy made from your own white blood cells.
Researchers are seeing how well the drug FORE8394 works in people with advanced solid tumors, including brain tumors. The people in this study include adults and children with cancers that keep growing or came back even with treatment. Their tumors have mutations (changes or variants) in the BRAF gene.
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.
