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.
This study is assessing the safety and effectiveness of giving tucatinib and trastuzumab followed by standard CAPOX chemotherapy (the drugs capecitabine and oxaliplatin) in people with locally advanced rectal cancer that has not yet been treated and makes a protein called HER2. Tucatinib and trastuzumab both block HER2, which stimulates cancer cell growth.
Glioblastomas that have an "unmethylated" MGMT gene are less likely to respond to the standard chemotherapy drug temozolomide. In this study, researchers are comparing three investigational treatments (abemaciclib, CC-115, and neratinib) with the standard treatment (temozolomide and radiation therapy) in patients newly diagnosed with glioblastoma.
Researchers want to see if adding zanidatamab to standard treatment works well against biliary tract cancer. The people in this study have biliary tract cancer that has spread or cannot be removed with surgery. In addition, their cancers make a protein called HER2.

BNT326 is a type of drug called an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC). ADCs are made of a monoclonal antibody linked to a drug. The antibody binds to a protein on cancer cells called HER3, which plays a role in cancer cell growth. It then releases the anti-cancer drug to kill the cancer cell. By destroying these cells, BNT326 may help slow or stop the growth of your cancer. It is given intravenously (by vein).
Researchers are assessing the safety of the drug VT3989 in people with mesothelioma. The people in this study have mesothelioma with a mutation (change or variant) in the NF2 gene.
V940 is made in a laboratory. It uses genes in your cancer to teach your immune system to fight the cancer. V940 is given as an injection into a muscle. Pembrolizumab boosts the ability of the immune system to find and kill cancer cells. It is given intravenously (by vein).
CAR T-cell therapy is a type of immunotherapy used to treat some people with lymphoma that has continued to grow despite prior treatment. The treatment involves using a patient's own T cells (a type of white blood cell), genetically modifying them in the laboratory to recognize a protein on cancer cells, and multiplying them. The modified T cells, known as CAR T cells, are then returned to the patient to find and kill cancer cells throughout the body.
Researchers are assessing a personalized cancer vaccine called V940 plus pembrolizumab immunotherapy to prevent lung cancer recurrence. The people in this study had surgery to remove non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), followed by chemotherapy.
Researchers want to see how well the combination of obinutuzumab, sonrotoclax, and zanubrutinib works against leukemia and lymphoma. The people in this study have chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) that has not been treated.
