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 one year of treatment with olaparib is better than observation alone in patients who had pancreatic cancer surgically removed and who have mutations in the BRCA1, BRCA2 or PALB2 genes. Olaparib is a type of anticancer medication called a PARP inhibitor, which may slow down the process cancer cells use to repair their DNA. Cancer cells need to repair their DNA to survive and grow.
Prostate removal (prostatectomy), a treatment for prostate cancer, can cause urinary incontinence (the inability to control the flow of urine). People experience urinary incontinence in the days immediately following surgery, which can reduce quality of life. Most people experience urinary incontinence for several weeks to months after surgery, but it can last longer.
Researchers want to learn if L19IL2 and L19TNF, alone or together, work well to treat melanoma when given with pembrolizumab. The people in this study have melanoma that has metastasized (spread) or is inoperable (cannot be taken out with surgery). Their cancers keep growing even after having immune-boosting therapy.

Researchers want to see if removing only 1 lymph node with cancer prevents melanoma from coming back in that area. The people in this study have melanoma that spread to just 1 lymph node.
Researchers in this study want to find the best dose of STAR0602 to use in people with advanced solid tumors. The people in this study have cancer that is inoperable (cannot be taken out with surgery) or metastatic (has spread). STAR0602 boosts the immune system to stop tumor growth. It is given intravenously (by vein).
Bone scans, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are imaging tests used to assess the spread of cancer in the body and to determine whether anticancer treatments are working. Even with these tests, however, it is sometimes difficult to find exactly where the cancer is located and to determine whether it is growing or shrinking in response to treatment. This difficulty is particularly apparent in patients with advanced prostate cancer that has spread to the bones, as standard CT, MRI, as bone scans are not accurate in assessing cancer in the bones.
Researchers want to see if Tec-RVd after 3 treatment cycles of Dara-RVd is safe for people with multiple myeloma. The people in this study have newly diagnosed multiple myeloma.
