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.
Researchers want to find the best dose of INCB161734 to use in people with advanced cancer. The people in this study have solid tumors that have spread. In addition, their cancers have a genetic mutation (change) called KRAS G12D.
In this study, researchers want to find the highest dose of the investigational drug ORIC-944 that can be given safely in people with metastatic prostate cancer that continues to grow despite standard treatments. ORIC-944 works by blocking a group of proteins called PRC2, which promote prostate cancer growth. It is taken orally (by mouth).
Radiation delivered to metastatic tumors is known to cause damage to the DNA (genetic information) in the cancer cells, which causes them to die. An ATM mutation reduces cancer cells' ability to fix damage to their DNA, making it more likely that the radiation will kill ATM-mutated cancer cells. Lower doses of radiation therapy may cause fewer side effects than standard doses. In this study, researchers will observe the side effects of reduced-dose radiation therapy in patients with metastatic tumors that contain an ATM mutation and the rate at which tumors grow back (recur) after this treatment. It is hoped that lowering the radiation dose will be effective while reducing the side effects of treatment.
Researchers are assessing JCAR017 in people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL). The people in this study have CLL or SLL that came back or keeps growing after treatment.
The genetic and biochemical makeup of a tumor influences its aggressiveness and the choice of the most appropriate therapy. The purpose of this research study is to determine the genetic and biochemical makeup of neuroblastic tumors, including neuroblastoma, ganglioneuroblastoma, ganglioneuroma, and paraganglioma. These research studies will include analysis of substances called markers that exist on the surface of cancer cells; cytogenetic studies; the identification of genes related to the development of these cancers and to tumor growth; and studies of tumor growth in test tubes. Patients' blood and bone marrow will also be tested for the presence of tumor cells or leukemia cells.
In this study, researchers want to find out how different amounts of aerobic training might improve cardiorespiratory fitness in people while they are treated for breast cancer. Cardiorespiratory fitness is important for the health of people receiving treatment for breast cancer. Aerobic exercise stimulates and strengthens the heart and lungs and improves how the body uses oxygen.
When people have Richter's transformation, their chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)/small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) changes into a more aggressive disease. Researchers are assessing a new drug combination for people with Richter's transformation that came back or keeps growing after treatment.
Researchers want to find the best dose of CB-011 to treat multiple myeloma. The people in this study have multiple myeloma that keeps growing even after treatment.
Urothelial cancers can grow in different parts of the urinary tract. This includes the ureter (the tube that carries urine from the kidneys to the bladder) and renal pelvis. The renal pelvis is where the ureter connects to the kidneys. The standard treatment is surgery to remove the ureter, kidney, or both. In this study, researchers want to see if enfortumab vedotin, given before surgery, is useful for treating urothelial cancers. The people in this study have high-risk urothelial cancers of the upper urinary tract. High risk means there is a greater chance of the cancer coming back after treatment.
