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 are comparing pembrolizumab given after surgery for head and neck cancer with the usual treatment. The usual therapy includes chemotherapy and radiation therapy. The people in this study have head and neck cancer that came back or is a new primary cancer.
The purpose of this study is to establish a registry to learn about neurocutaneous melanocytosis (NCM) and how people respond to treatments for this rare disease. NCM is seen mainly in children born with large dark-colored areas of skin called cutaneous melanocytic nevi (LCMN). About one in four of children with LCMN also develop NCM.
Skin (dermatologic) conditions are common in people who are receiving or have received cancer treatment. Sometimes the condition is related to the cancer, and sometimes it is related to cancer treatment. In either case, skin conditions can affect a person's quality of life.
Radiation therapy is one of the usual approaches to treating triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Researchers think that adding the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab, with or without olaparib, to radiation therapy may be a better treatment for TNBC than radiation therapy alone.
Researchers are comparing bone marrow transplantation to maintenance chemotherapy as post-induction treatment in older people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in remission. The people in this study are 65 or older and already had azacitidine and venetoclax as induction treatment. 
In this study, researchers want to find the best dose of RGT-61159 to treat salivary gland cancer. The people in this study have adenoid cystic carcinoma that came back or keeps growing after treatment.
Researchers want to see how well quizartinib works to treat acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The people in this study have AML that does not have a genetic change called FLT3-ITD. In addition, they have not yet had any treatment for AML.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of the investigational drug ZEN003694 in people with advanced squamous cell lung cancer that continues to grow despite treatment and contains multiple copies of a gene called NSD3. ZEN003694 blocks a group of proteins called BET, which may counteract the effect of NSD3 on tumor growth. Blocking these proteins may slow or stop the growth of lung cancer. ZEN003694 is taken orally (by mouth).
Myelofibrosis is a rare disease known as a myeloproliferative neoplasm. The bone marrow becomes scarred and cannot make enough blood cells, leading to anemia. Anemia is low number of red blood cells, causing tiredness and shortness of breath. Some people with myelofibrosis need regular transfusions of blood. In this study, researchers want to see if momelotinib given with luspatercept reduces the need for blood transfusions in these patients. Momelotinib works by blocking two proteins called JAK and ACVR1. When JAK proteins send too many signals, the body makes the wrong amount of blood cells. By blocking JAK, momelotinib may help your body make the right amount of blood cells. By targeting ACVR1, momelotinib may fight anemia. Momelotinib is taken orally (by mouth).  By improving red blood cell development, luspatercept may reduce the need for blood transfusions in people with transfusion-dependent myelofibrosis. Luspatercept is given by an injection under the skin. 
Researchers are comparing RMC-6236 with docetaxel for the treatment of lung cancer. The people in this study have non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has spread beyond its original location. In addition, their tumors have a mutation (change) in the RAS gene.
