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 find the best dose of AZD0305 to use in people with multiple myeloma. The people in this study have multiple myeloma that came back or keeps growing after treatment. AZD0305 is given intravenously (by vein).
Researchers want to see if it is practical to give immunotherapy before kidney cancer surgery. The people in this study have no evidence of cancer spread in other parts of their body. Researchers also want to see if this treatment causes any delays in surgery. Immunotherapy is treatment that boosts the body's natural defenses to fight cancer.
Researchers want to see if zongertinib is safe and works well to treat advanced solid tumors. The people in this study have solid tumors that metastasized (spread). The tumors contain an abnormal HER2 protein (mutation) or too much HER2 (overexpression/amplification). HER2 promotes the growth of cancer cells.
Chemotherapy for lymphoma can cause side effects, especially in people age 65 and older and those with other health problems. Researchers want to see if adding the immunotherapy drugs glofitamab, polatuzumab, and obinutuzumab to treatment can reduce the amount of chemotherapy needed. The people in this study have diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), high-grade B-cell lymphoma (HGBCL), or transformed lymphoma. Their cancer has not yet been treated.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of nivolumab immunotherapy alone and with the drug cabozantinib to reduce the chance that mucosal melanoma will come back after surgery. Nivolumab boosts the power of the immune system to detect and destroy cancer cells. Cabozantinib inhibits cancer cell growth by blocking certain enzymes.
Researchers want to find the best dose of DCC-3009 to use in people with gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). The people in this study have GIST that has metastasized (spread) after treatment. In addition, their cancers have a mutation (change) in the KIT or PDGFRA gene. These mutations are common in people with GIST and can cause cancer to grow.
Researchers want to find the highest dose of DISC-0974 to use in people with myelofibrosis and anemia. Myelofibrosis happens when bone marrow cells called fibroblasts make too much fibrous (scar) tissue. The bone marrow is not able to make enough blood cells, which leads to anemia. Anemia is a reduced number of red blood cells, and it causes tiredness and shortness of breath.
Researchers are doing this study to find out whether combining the standard chemotherapy for head and neck cancer with the immunotherapy drugs cetuximab and cemiplimab is a safe treatment. They also want to know if receiving this combination treatment before surgery may allow patients to forgo the standard radiation treatment given after surgery.
