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.
The purpose of this study is to compare three types of support for parents who have experienced the death of a child due to cancer. The study team will assess how these different types of support affect participants' grief and depression symptoms. The three types of support parents may receive are called Meaning-Centered Grief Therapy, Supportive Counseling, and Enhanced Usual Care.
When some cancers become advanced, particularly colorectal cancer, they may spread to the liver. Destroying the tissue with electromagnetic waves that produce extremely high temperatures, a procedure called "thermal ablation," is one way to treat these liver metastases.
The purpose of this study is to see how treatment for retinoblastoma in one eye affects quality of life in survivors of this cancer who had chemotherapy (injected into the eye) or surgery to remove the eye. Researchers will ask participants about their physical and emotional health and ability to perform daily activities. They want to determine if there are any differences between these treatments with respect to their effect on quality of life. It is hoped that this information will help doctors provide better care for children with retinoblastoma in the future and better follow-up care for survivors of this cancer.
In this study, researchers are comparing ado-trastuzumab emtansine with the usual treatment (docetaxel and trastuzumab) in people with recurrent, inoperable, or metastatic salivary gland cancer that makes the HER2 protein. Ado-trastuzumab emtansine is a monoclonal antibody (trastuzumab) linked to a chemotherapy drug (emtansine). Trastuzumab attaches to HER2 on cancer cells and delivers emtansine to kill them.
Researchers want to find the best dose of CBX-250 to treat leukemia that came back or keeps growing after treatment. The people in this study have one of these diseases:
The purpose of this study is to establish a registry of patients with a rare disease called pediatric-onset opsoclonus myoclonus ataxia syndrome (POOMAS). POOMAS affects the brain, spinal cord, and other nerves. Its exact cause is unknown, though a small number of patients with neuroblastoma may have this condition.
Idecabtagene vicleucel is a form of CAR T immunotherapy for multiple myeloma. People who have this treatment are usually monitored (watched) afterward, with no additional myeloma medications. In this study, researchers want to see if giving iberdomide as maintenance therapy after idecabtagene vicleucel is better than monitoring.
The purpose of this study is to find the highest dose of the investigational drug RMC-6236 that can be given safely in people with advanced solid tumors containing mutations in the KRAS gene. RMC-6236 targets the KRAS protein made by the mutated gene. The KRAS protein sends signals that cause cancer cells to grow. RMC-6236 is designed to prevent the KRAS protein from sending these signals, and this blocking action may slow or stop the growth of cancer cells. RMC-6236 is taken orally (by mouth).
The purpose of this study is to find the best dose of the drug selinexor that can be given safely with radiation therapy in young patients newly diagnosed with pediatric diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) or high-grade glioma. Researchers will also determine the effectiveness of combining selinexor with radiation therapy (given for eight weeks) followed by selinexor therapy alone for two years.
Researchers want to see if adding cryoablation to immunotherapy is better than immunotherapy alone for breast cancer. The people in this study have triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) that has spread beyond its original site. The immunotherapy being studied is pembrolizumab.
