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.
Venetoclax blocks Bcl-2, a protein that helps cancer cells survive and resist the effects of anti-cancer treatments. By blocking Bcl-2, venetoclax may cause the death of cancer cells or make them more sensitive to other treatments. It is taken orally (by mouth).
This study is comparing two treatment regimens for advanced pancreatic cancer. The people in this study have pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma that has metastasized (spread). They have not yet had treatment for advanced disease.
In this study, researchers want to find the highest dose of the drug abemaciclib that can be given safely with ruxolitinib in people with myelofibrosis that has developed on its own (primary myelofibrosis) or as a complication of the blood diseases polycythemia vera or essential thrombocythemia. In people with myelofibrosis, the bone marrow is not able to make enough blood cells. The spleen is bigger than normal, making the stomach feel very full. Patients may also have fever and night sweats.
In this study, researchers want to see how safe IDRX-42 is and how well it works to treat cancer. The people in this study have gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) that keeps growing after treatment. In addition, their cancer has metastasized (spread) or is inoperable (cannot be taken out with surgery).
Trastuzumab is an anticancer medication that targets HER2, a protein overproduced by some cancers of the stomach (gastric cancers) and the junction between the stomach and esophagus (gastro-esophageal junction or GEJ cancers). In this study, researchers are evaluating the safety of combining the drug trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) with immunotherapy and/or chemotherapy in patients with inoperable or metastatic stomach and GEJ cancers that have come back or continued to grow despite prior treatment.

Unfavorable intermediate-risk prostate cancers have not spread beyond the prostate but have a chance of coming back. They are usually treated with surgery or radiation therapy, with or without hormonal therapy. One of the more common standard treatment approaches is hormonal therapy called androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), which reduces the levels of male sex hormones, followed by external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) to the prostate and nearby lymph nodes.
Researchers want to learn if AMG 193 in combination with standard treatment is safe for people with advanced pancreatic cancer. The people in this study have pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) that has metastasized (spread). In addition, their cancers have a mutation (change) in the MTAP gene. This results in a lack of the MTAP protein, which may help cancer grow.

Researchers are comparing three different treatments for multiple myeloma. The people in this study have multiple myeloma that came back or keeps growing even after treatment. If you join this study, you will be randomly assigned to get one of these treatments:
