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 compare proton beam radiation therapy with intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) in patients with stage I-IVA esophageal cancer. Both approaches send radiation inside the body to a tumor without damaging much of the healthy tissue around it. However, proton beam radiation therapy uses protons while IMRT uses photons (high-energy x-rays).

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.
After a stem cell transplant, a condition called chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) can occur. The new donor immune cells (like T cells and B cells) attack the recipient's healthy tissues, thinking they are foreign. It usually starts around 100 days after the transplant, but it can begin earlier or later.
Researchers are comparing two new combination drug treatments with the standard therapy for multiple myeloma. The people in this study have multiple myeloma that is newly diagnosed. In addition, they cannot have an autologous stem cell transplant with high-dose chemotherapy.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of the drug mosunetuzumab for people with follicular lymphoma who have not yet received treatment. Mosunetuzumab binds to a cancer cell and a T cell (which plays a key role in the immune system) at the same time. Researchers think that mosunetuzumab may strengthen the immune system's ability to fight cancer cells by activating a patient's own cells to destroy the tumor. Mosunetuzumab is given as a subcutaneous (under the skin) injection.
Researchers want to see if ruxolitinib works well as a treatment for T-cell large granular lymphocytic leukemia (T-LGLL). T-LGLL is a rare cancer of white blood cells called lymphocytes. The people in this study have T-LGLL that keeps growing even with treatment.
Researchers are seeking the best dose of CABA-201 to treat people with active idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM). The people in this study have IIM, juvenile idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (JIIM), or myositis. With JIIM and some subtypes of IIM, B cells make the body to attack different tissues, causing inflammation and muscle weakness.
