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 trametinib and azacitidine alone and with other drugs to treat leukemia in young people. The people in this study have newly diagnosed juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML).
Researchers want to find the best doses of different drugs to use together in people with advanced urothelial cancer. The people in this study have urothelial cancer that metastasized (spread) and has not yet been treated.
The usual treatment for brain metastases (cancer that spread to the brain) is a single treatment of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). SRS uses special equipment to position the patient and precisely give a single large dose of radiation to a tumor.
In this study, researchers are assessing the safety and effectiveness of using the drug ruxolitinib in patients with T-cell lymphoma or natural killer (NK)-cell lymphoma that has come back or continued to grow despite prior treatment. Ruxolitinib is already approved for treating a bone marrow disease called myelofibrosis. It works by inhibiting a protein called JAK, which works with another protein called STAT to promote the growth of many T-cell and NK-cell lymphomas. By blocking JAK, ruxolitinib may cause lymphomas to shrink.
Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a type of cancer that occurs in the soft tissues in the body. Researchers in this study are comparing different chemotherapy-based treatments for children and young adults with very low-risk RMS, low-risk RMS, and RMS with DNA mutations, with treatment tailored to the predicted aggressiveness of each patient's cancer. The standard chemotherapy drugs participants will receive include vincristine, dactinomycin, and cyclophosphamide.
Researchers are assessing nivolumab and ipilimumab immunotherapy with or without cabozantinib to treat advanced nasopharyngeal cancer. The people in this study have nasopharyngeal cancer that recurred (came back) or metastasized (spread). In addition, the cancer cannot be cured with other therapies.
Researchers want to see if bemdaneprocel improves symptoms in people with Parkinson's disease (PD). PD symptoms are due to a loss of cells that make a chemical in your brain called dopamine.

In addition, their cancers have a mutation (change) in the G12C location of the KRAS gene. Olomorasib may help slow or stop the growth of cancers with KRAS G12C mutations. It is taken orally (by mouth).
Researchers want to find the best dose of ziftomenib to give with imatinib in people with advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). The people in this study have GIST that keeps growing after treatment.
