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 want to find the best dose of DCC-3009 to use in people with gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). The people in this study have GIST that has metastasized (spread) after treatment. In addition, their cancers have a mutation (change) in the KIT or PDGFRA gene. These mutations are common in people with GIST and can cause cancer to grow.
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).
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.
The purpose of this study is to find the highest dose of the investigational drug ASP3082 that can be given safely in people with inoperable or metastatic solid tumors that contain a mutation called KRAS G12D. ASP3082 targets the KRAS G12D mutation, blocking its ability to send signals that turn on cancer cells and cause them to grow and spread. It is given intravenously (by vein) through a central venous port on a weekly schedule.
Researchers are doing this study to see if giving LY3537982 with standard lung cancer drugs is safe and works well. The people in this study have non-small cell lung cancer that has spread. In addition, their cancers have a gene mutation (change) called KRASG12C, which can cause cancer cells to grow.
Aromatase inhibitors (AIs) are medications that interfere with estrogen production and are used to reduce the risk of breast cancer recurrence in many people with breast cancer that is fueled by estrogen. One side effect of AI treatment is a decrease in bone strength, which can lead to bones becoming weak and brittle. The bones may then break (fracture) more easily.
This purpose of this study is to assess whether adding trastuzumab/hyaluronidase-oysk or pertuzumab/trastuzumab/hyaluronidase-zzxf to the usual chemotherapy (paclitaxel and carboplatin) shrinks tumors in patients with HER2-positive endometrial serous carcinoma or carcinosarcoma.
Isolated limb infusion (ILI) is a way to give anticancer drugs directly into an arm or leg to treat a sarcoma. However, despite this treatment, sometimes the cancer still spreads to other parts of the body. In this study, researchers want to see if adding the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab to ILI treatment with the chemotherapy drugs melphalan and dactinomycin can help prevent the spread of cancer and increase the effectiveness of the ILI treatment in people with advanced sarcoma.
