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.
The purpose of this study is to find the highest dose of the investigational drug AVA6000 that can be given safely in people with advanced solid tumors that are not responding to treatment. AVA6000 is very similar to a standard chemotherapy drug called doxorubicin. Like doxorubicin, AVA6000 works to slow or stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking an enzyme. Unlike doxorubicin, however, AVA6000 is a "prodrug," meaning it remains inactive until it reaches the site of the cancer. Because of the way AVA6000 works, it may be useful for treating cancer with fewer side effects than doxorubicin. AVA6000 is given intravenously (by vein).

The purpose of this study is to find the highest dose of the investigational immunotherapy 2141-V11 that can be given safely in people with bladder cancer that has not invaded the bladder muscle wall, has come back after BCG therapy, and will not be surgically removed. The drug 2141-V11 attaches to a protein on immune cells and activates the immune system to find and kill bladder cancer cells. It is given directly into the bladder through a catheter (flexible tube).
Researchers are doing this study to find the best dose of ziftomenib to give with standard chemotherapy in children and young adults with acute leukemia. The people in this study have acute leukemia that keeps growing or came back after treatment. In addition, their cancers have a mutation (change) in the KMT2A, NUP98, or NPM1 genes.
The purpose of this study is to find the highest doses of ruxolitinib and duvelisib when given together in patients with T-cell or NK-cell lymphoma that has come back or continued to grow despite prior treatment. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved ruxolitinib as a treatment for myelofibrosis and polycythemia vera (other blood disorders). The FDA has approved duvelisib to treat follicular lymphoma, small lymphocytic lymphoma, and chronic lymphocytic leukemia. The use of these two drugs together in this study is considered investigational.
Researchers want to see how well a new combination of drugs works to treat low-grade serous ovarian cancer. The drugs are avutometinib, defactinib, and letrozole. The people in this study have ovarian cancer that cannot be completely removed with surgery.
