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.
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).
The purpose of this study is to assess stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) to treat people with small cell lung cancer (SCLC) who have been newly diagnosed with brain metastases (cancer that spread to the brain). SRS specifically targets a very small area of the body. By targeting the part of the brain where the cancer has spread, SRS may shrink the cancer without damaging healthy brain tissue.
Glioblastomas that have an "unmethylated" MGMT gene are less likely to respond to the standard chemotherapy drug temozolomide. In this study, researchers are comparing three investigational treatments (abemaciclib, CC-115, and neratinib) with the standard treatment (temozolomide and radiation therapy) in patients newly diagnosed with glioblastoma.
However, SBRT may not be enough for people with intermediate-risk prostate cancer and unfavorable genetic features. These features may make it more likely that the cancer will come back after radiation therapy. These people may benefit from SBRT with hormonal therapy early in their care.
Researchers want to find the best dose of NT-175 in people with advanced solid tumors. The people in this study have cancers that are inoperable (cannot be surgically removed) or metastatic (have spread). The types of tumors include:
Researchers are assessing a new combination therapy for neuroblastoma that has a high chance of coming back after treatment. This study is for children with high-risk neuroblastoma who have not gotten more than 1 chemotherapy cycle.
Researchers want to find the best dose of INCB160058 to treat myeloproliferative neoplasms such as myelofibrosis. The people in this study have myeloproliferative neoplasms that came back or keep growing even after treatment. In addition, their cancers have a mutation (change) in the JAK2 gene.
In addition, their cancers have a fusion (change) in the ALK gene. The fusion gene makes a protein that promotes cancer growth and survival. This type of cancer is called ALK-positive NSCLC.
Researchers want to find the best dose of LY4170156 to treat people with solid tumors. The people in this study have solid tumors that keep growing even after treatment. Their tumors also make a protein called FRA, which plays a role in cancer growth. The tumors treated in this study include:
