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.
In this study, researchers want to find the highest dose of the investigational drug ORIC-944 that can be given safely in people with metastatic prostate cancer that continues to grow despite standard treatments. ORIC-944 works by blocking a group of proteins called PRC2, which promote prostate cancer growth. It is taken orally (by mouth).
Radical hysterectomy via laparotomy (open surgery) is the standard surgical approach for people with early-stage cervical cancer. A radical hysterectomy involves removal of the uterus, cervix, parametria (tissue beside the cervix), and upper part of the vagina; the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and nearby lymph nodes may also be removed. With laparotomy, the operation is performed through a large incision in the abdomen.
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.
Intensity-modulated pleural radiation therapy (IMPRINT) is a type of radiation therapy that specifically targets the lining of the lungs and the inner side of the ribs to stop cancer from growing. In this study, researchers are studying the safety and effectiveness of IMPRINT to one side of the chest (hemithoracic IMPRINT) to treat people with thymic cancer (cancer of the thymus gland) that has spread to the lining of the lungs and chest.
The purpose of this study is to find the highest dose of the investigational drug NVL-655 that can be given safely in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or other solid tumors that contain a genetic change called an ALK gene fusion. NVL-655 is a type of drug called a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), which works by blocking proteins that fuel cancer growth. However, some cancer cells develop resistance to TKI treatment.
The purpose of this study is to find the best dose of the drug selinexor that can be given safely with radiation therapy in young patients newly diagnosed with pediatric diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) or high-grade glioma. Researchers will also determine the effectiveness of combining selinexor with radiation therapy (given for eight weeks) followed by selinexor therapy alone for two years.
In this study, researchers are seeking to find the highest dose of the investigational drug BGB-16673 that can be given safely in people with lymphoma and other types of B cell cancers that have come back or continued to grow despite prior treatment. BGB-16673 degrades a protein called BTK, which helps B cells live and grow. By degrading BTK, BGB-16673 may stop or slow the growth and activity of B cells, which could lead to improvement in the symptoms associated with B cell cancers. BGB-16673 is taken orally (by mouth).
The purpose of this research study is to understand more about smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM). SMM is multiple myeloma that is not yet causing symptoms. It is usually not treated unless it causes symptoms.
Imatinib is a standard long-term therapy for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Some people are able to stop taking imatinib after their CML is in remission, but sometimes it comes back and retreatment is needed. In this study, researchers want to see if adding the drug asciminib to imatinib therapy prior to a second attempt at stopping treatment will lead to prolonged treatment-free remission (no evidence of cancer after stopping therapy).
