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 see how much the drug trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) can get into brain tumors. The people in this study have glioblastoma or cancer that spread to the brain from other parts of the body. They are scheduled to have brain tumor surgery. In addition, their tumors express (make) a protein called HER2, which boosts cancer cell growth. Researchers want to know if T-DXd may be an effective treatment for brain cancers that express the HER2 protein.
Researchers in this study want to see how a new form of radiation therapy works to treat metastatic cancer. Metastatic means the cancer has spread to another part of the body from its original place. The people in this study have solid tumors that spread to soft tissues in the chest, abdomen (belly), or pelvis. In addition, they need radiation therapy to help control symptoms such as pain.
In this study, researchers are finding the highest dose of MQ710 to use safely in people with certain types of advanced cancer. The people in this study have solid tumors that came back or grew even after treatment. In a later part of the study, the researchers will assess MQ710 plus another drug called pembrolizumab.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of adding the drug evexomostat (SDX-7320) to standard eribulin chemotherapy in people with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) that has come back or spread despite treatment. In addition, the participants in this study have metabolic disorders such as high blood sugar and/or obesity. TNBC includes breast cancers that do not contain receptors for estrogen or progesterone and do not have the HER2 protein, so they cannot be treated with medications that target those proteins.
In this study, researchers want to find the best doses of 2 different drug combinations. This study is for people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that keeps growing even after treatment. You also must have changes (mutations or variants) in the FLT3 gene, and in either the IDH1 or IDH2 genes. The FLT3 gene can cause cancer cells to grow. The IDH1 and IDH2 genes cause low blood cell counts.
Researchers want to see how well selinexor works in people with Wilms' tumor and other solid tumors. The people in this study are children and adults with tumors that depend on a protein called XPO1. XPO1 helps cancer cells grow by getting rid of proteins that can cause those cells to die (tumor suppressor proteins).
Liver stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (L-SABR) is a standard treatment that uses radiation therapy to target tumors that have spread to the liver while limiting the radiation dose to surrounding organs. L-SABR may also boost the immune response.
This study is comparing the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy plus tucatinib and trastuzumab versus combination chemotherapy alone in people with metastatic colorectal cancer that is positive for the HER2 protein. The combination chemotherapy is called mFOLFOX6 (oxaliplatin, leucovorin or levoleucovorin, and fluorouracil) and it is a standard treatment for advanced colorectal cancer.
After endometrial cancer surgery, there is a risk that the cancer will come back. Combining a shorter course of radiation treatment with chemotherapy may decrease the chance of endometrial cancer recurring.
