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 are assessing ado-trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) to treat salivary gland cancer. The people in this study have cancer that is operable (can be removed with surgery) and makes a protein called HER2. T-DM1 targets cancer cells that make HER2. In this study, it will be combined with radiation therapy and chemotherapy after the tumor has been removed by surgery.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of a specialized light treatment for children and adults with chronic graft-versus host disease (GVHD) of the mouth (oral GVHD) that has not improved after standard treatment. GVHD is a complication that can occur after a stem cell or bone marrow transplant. The newly transplanted donor cells attack the transplant recipient's body and cause serious health problems. Oral GVHD can cause mouth inflammation, pain, and sores.

Metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) is a substance taken up specifically by neuroblastoma, pheochromocytoma, or paraganglioma tumor cells. MIBG can be combined with radioactive iodine (131I) in the laboratory to form the radioactive compound 131I-MIBG. The 131I-MIBG compound concentrates more in cancer cells than in normal cells. It may therefore deliver more radiation directly to cancer cells while sparing normal organs.
Researchers want to see how well datopotamab deruxtecan (Dato-DXd) works alone and with other drugs against cancer. The people in this study have endometrial, ovarian, or urothelial cancer that has metastasized (spread).
Researchers want to see if the drug talquetamab is useful for treating multiple myeloma. The people in this study have multiple myeloma that keeps growing even after treatment. They also recently received a CAR T cell therapy called idecabtagene autoleucel.
Researchers want to see if the herbal supplement Ma-Zi-Ren-Wan (MZRW) helps relieve chronic constipation in survivors of cancer. They will also see how MZRW affects the gut microbiome.
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).
Doctors routinely use intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) after surgery to treat squamous cell carcinoma (cancer) of the tongue. IMRT delivers radiation directly to cancer cells from different angles by changing the radiation beam into multiple smaller beams. By targeting the tumor more precisely, IMRT reduces radiation damage to healthy tissue.
Researchers are assessing the best dose and benefit of DT2216 given with irinotecan chemotherapy in young people with cancer. DT2216 may help to kill cancer cells by blocking Bcl-xL, a protein that some cancers need to survive. Irinotecan is an anti-cancer drug that is part of the usual treatment for many cancers. Both drugs are given intravenously (by vein).
