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.
Autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) is a treatment in which some of a patient's stem cells are removed before high-dose chemotherapy, then returned to the patient to help re-establish the patient's immune system after chemotherapy. Care for a patient after ASCT usually takes place in a hospital. In this study, researchers want to see if it is feasible to care for a patient at home after ASCT for multiple myeloma. Studies at other institutions suggest that providing care at home after ASCT is safe, increases patient satisfaction, and can lower the risk of infection.
The purpose of this study is to find the highest dose of the investigational treatment UCART22 that can be given safely in children and young adults with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) that has come back or continued to grow despite treatment. UCART22 is a form of CAR T-cell therapy. It is made from white blood cells (T cells) from healthy donors. The T cells are genetically modified in a laboratory to identify and destroy cancer cells containing a protein called CD22.
Chemotherapy can cause symptoms, such as nausea and fatigue, and some patients have difficulty working during this treatment. The purpose of this study is to learn more about how chemotherapy for breast cancer affects patients' employment.
In this study, researchers want to find the best dose of XmAb819 to treat kidney cancer. The people in this study have clear cell renal cell cancer that keeps growing or came back after standard treatments.
Researchers are comparing combination chemotherapy alone or with a stem cell transplant for people with amyloid light chain (AL) amyloidosis. The people in this study have newly diagnosed AL amyloidosis. The chemotherapy includes daratumumab, cyclophosphamide, bortezomib and dexamethasone (Dara-VCD).
Researchers are assessing the iberdomide with belantamab mafodotin and dexamethasone in people with multiple myeloma. The people in this study have multiple myeloma that came back or keeps growing even with treatment.
Prostate cancers initially need the male hormone testosterone for growth. Hormone therapies that lower the level of testosterone are among the best treatments for prostate cancers that have metastasized (spread). The benefits of hormone treatments often do not last, however. Over time, many prostate cancers keep growing even with hormonal therapies. These are called castration-resistant prostate cancers (CRPC).
The purpose of this study is to find out how cancer treatments (chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy) affect reproductive and sexual health in people with early-onset colorectal cancer (diagnosed before age 50). Researchers will observe and track changes in hormone levels and in sexual and reproductive health in the study participants. This information will help them learn more about how cancer treatments affect reproductive and sexual health, including the ability to have children (fertility).
Cetuximab binds to a protein called EGFR, which is found on some types of tumor cells. This drug may help keep tumor cells from growing. Pembrolizumab helps the body's immune system attack the tumor and may interfere with tumor growth and spread.
Researchers are assessing tepotinib with or without ramucirumab in people with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The people in this study have NSCLC that has metastasized (spread) or recurred (came back) after treatment. Their cancers also have a genetic change called the MET exon 14 skipping mutation.
