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.

In this study, researchers want to see if the drug HER3-DXd works well against advanced melanoma. HER3-DXd is called an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC). ADCs are made up of an antibody linked to a drug. The antibody binds to specific proteins on cancer cells. The linked drug enters these cells and kills them without harming other cells.

Prostate cancers initially need the male hormone testosterone for growth. Hormone therapies that lower the level of testosterone are among the most effective treatments for prostate cancers that have spread to other organs (metastasized). The benefits of hormone treatments do not last, however. Over time, many prostate cancers continue to grow despite hormonal therapies; these are called "castration-resistant prostate cancers" (CRPC).

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.
Researchers are assessing a lower dose of standard radiation therapy after chemotherapy in young people with germinomas. The patients in this study have germinomas of the central nervous system (brain or spinal cord). It is hoped that this new approach can destroy germinomas with fewer long-term side effects.

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.
