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 assessing obinutuzumab in people with primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) whose cancer responded to initial treatment. They want to see if obinutuzumab increases the time without the disease returning or getting worse. This type of treatment is called maintenance therapy.
After a stem cell transplant, a condition called chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) can occur. The new donor immune cells (like T cells and B cells) attack the recipient's healthy tissues, thinking they are foreign. It usually starts around 100 days after the transplant, but it can begin earlier or later.
Researchers are doing this study to find out whether combining the standard chemotherapy for head and neck cancer with the immunotherapy drugs cetuximab and cemiplimab is a safe treatment. They also want to know if receiving this combination treatment before surgery may allow patients to forgo the standard radiation treatment given after surgery.
The purpose of this study is to see how well avutometinib and defactinib work in people with thyroid cancer. The people in this study have one of these kinds of cancer:
Researchers are assessing a CAR T cell therapy to treat acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) that keeps growing even with treatment. With CAR T cell therapy, some of your own T cells (a type of white blood cell) are removed. They are genetically modified (changed) in a lab to recognize your own cancer cells. The altered T cells, called CAR T cells, are then returned to your body to find and kill cancer cells. This treatment is a form of immunotherapy.
BNT326 is a type of drug called an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC). ADCs are made of a monoclonal antibody linked to a drug. The antibody binds to a protein on cancer cells called HER3, which plays a role in cancer cell growth. It then releases the anti-cancer drug to kill the cancer cell. By destroying these cells, BNT326 may help slow or stop the growth of your cancer. It is given intravenously (by vein).
Inotuzumab ozogamicin is a drug used to treat adults with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) that has come back or continued to grow despite prior therapy. In this study, researchers are evaluating its use in children and young adults with recurrent or persistent B-cell ALL.
Ibrutinib and rituximab are the standard treatment for Waldenström's macroglobulinemia (WM) and lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (LL). In this study, researchers want to see if giving the medication venetoclax with the standard treatment is safe and more effective than the standard treatment alone in people with previously untreated WM/LL.
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).
Researchers are assessing blinatumomab with dasatinib or imatinib and standard chemotherapy to treat leukemia. The people in this study have Philadelphia chromosome positive (Ph+) or ABL-class Philadelphia chromosome-like (Ph-like) B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL).
