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 see if the combination of fianlimab, cemiplimab, and ipilimumab works well against melanoma. The people in this study have melanoma that is inoperable (cannot be taken out with surgery) or metastatic (spread). In addition, their cancer keeps growing even after treatment that included immunotherapy.
The purpose of this study is to assess OBX-115 cellular therapy for people with advanced melanoma or lung cancer. The people in this study have melanoma or non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Their cancers have metastasized (spread) or are inoperable (cannot be taken out with surgery) and keep growing even after treatment.
CAR T-cell therapies are a form of immunotherapy where some of a patient's T cells are removed, modified in the laboratory to recognize a protein on cancer cells, multiplied, and returned to the patient to provoke an immune attack against cancer. Sometimes the new T cells cause side effects related to the immune system's response to the treatment.
Researchers are comparing ivonescimab with pembrolizumab immunotherapy for the initial treatment of advanced lung cancer. The people in this study have non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has metastasized (spread).

The current standard treatment for throat cancer that is positive for the human papillomavirus (HPV) is 7 weeks of daily radiation therapy given together with chemotherapy, but this treatment can have severe side effects. In this study, researchers are assessing significantly lower doses of radiation (3 weeks) to achieve local and regional control of the tumor with significantly fewer side effects. Treatments will be given in combination with lower doses of chemotherapy (cisplatin, carboplatin, and 5-fluorouracil) as well in people with HPV-positive throat cancer.
Researchers want to find the best dose of BDTX-4933 to use in people with advanced lung cancer. The people in this study have non-small cell lung cancer that has a mutation (change or variant) in the BRAF or KRAS genes (KRAS non-G12C mutation). This mutation can cause cancer cells to grow.
Researchers want to find the best dose of BMS-986453 to treat multiple myeloma. The people in this study have multiple myeloma that came back or keeps growing even after treatment.
Researchers are comparing RMC-6236 with standard therapy in people with advanced pancreatic cancer. The people in this study have pancreatic cancer that has metastasized (spread) and keeps growing even after treatment.
After people receive chemotherapy for colon cancer, doctors may be able to detect tumor DNA in the blood ("circulating tumor DNA" or ctDNA). If there is ctDNA in the blood, a patient's cancer may be more likely to come back. It is standard for people with ctDNA in their blood to be monitored ("active surveillance"), but investigators would like to know if immediate treatment of these patients can prevent cancer recurrence.
