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.
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.

Researchers are expanding access to the drug zidesamtinib for people with advanced solid tumors. The people in this study have non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or another solid tumor with a fusion (change) in the ROS1 gene. This fusion can cause cancer cells to multiply and spread.

Researchers want to find the best dose of RMC-9805 to use in people with advanced solid tumors. The people in this study have cancer that keeps growing even with treatment. The tumors also have a mutation (change) in the KRAS gene called G12D.
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).
Researchers want to find the best dose of CTIM-76 to treat advanced ovarian or endometrial cancer. The people in this study have ovarian or endometrial cancer that makes a protein called CLDN6. This protein may fuel cancer growth.

Researchers in this study want to find the best dose of lurbinectedin to treat cancer in children and adults. They also want to see how well this drug works. The people in this study have Ewing sarcoma or other solid tumors that keep growing after treatment. In addition, their cancers contain a genetic change called a FET fusion.
Researchers want to see how well ulixertinib works in people with histiocytic neoplasms. Histiocytic neoplasms are rare diseases in which too many white blood cells called histiocytes build up in tissues and organs. This can cause damage to tissue or tumor(s) to form. The tumor(s) may be benign (not cancer) or malignant (cancer). There are different types of histiocytic neoplasms, including:
