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 establish a registry to learn about neurocutaneous melanocytosis (NCM) and how people respond to treatments for this rare disease. NCM is seen mainly in children born with large dark-colored areas of skin called cutaneous melanocytic nevi (LCMN). About one in four of children with LCMN also develop NCM.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety of the investigational treatment REGN4018 alone and in combination with cemiplimab in women with ovarian, peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer that has come back or gotten worse after previous treatment. REGN4018 is a type of drug called a bispecific antibody: it binds to two specific proteins (MUC16 and CD3) that may be involved in the growth and survival of cancer.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of treating rare advanced genitourinary cancers with the immunotherapies nivolumab and ipilimumab plus the drug cabozantinib.
This purpose of this study is to assess two interventions to improve cancer care for older adults with cancer. Patients will be randomly assigned to one of the two interventions, which each consist of four surveys, five telephone sessions, and four subsequent "booster" calls with a licensed mental health counselor. The five telephone sessions each last about 45-60 minutes; the booster calls each last approximately 20-30 minutes. These surveys will include questions about each patient's illness, quality of life, depression, anxiety, and attitudes about aging and can be done via computer or over the phone. Patients will be compensated for their participation.
This protocol will provide expanded access to treatment with the investigational drug L-MTP-PE for people with osteosarcoma. L-MTP-PE works by activating certain types of white blood cells, and these active white blood cells help the immune system to kill cancer cells. L-MTP-PE is given intravenously (by vein).
Osimertinib is a standard treatment for metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has a change (mutation) in the EGFR gene. Researchers think that adding chemotherapy to osimertinib could make treatment more effective.
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.
Gemcitabine and oxaliplatin (GemOx) is a standard chemotherapy combination used to treat a cancer of the bile ducts called cholangiocarcinoma. In this study, researchers want to see if adding another treatment that is delivered by a pump device (hepatic arterial infusion or HAI) to GemOx therapy is more effective than GemOx alone for patients with previously untreated inoperable cholangiocarcinoma. The HAI pump, which is implanted in the abdomen during a surgical procedure, continuously delivers the drugs floxuridine and dexamethasone directly to the liver.
People with cancer often complain that their "mind does not seem to be clear." This can be due to stress, depression or anxiety, or physical problems, or may be due to some cancer treatments. The purpose of this study is to better understand the effects of cancer treatments on thinking (cognitive) abilities and memory in people with breast cancer over age 60. Thinking abilities and memory may decrease with age, and the effects of some treatments could make this problem worse in older people with breast cancer.
