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 evaluate the safety and effectiveness of cesium-131 (Cs-131) brachytherapy in patients with brain cancer that has come back after prior radiation therapy and who will be having surgery to remove it. Brachytherapy involves the placement of radioactive seeds into the brain during surgery. The seeds remain in place permanently in the area where the tumor was removed and give off cancer-killing radiation temporarily. 
After people receive chemotherapy for colon cancer, doctors may be able to detect tumor DNA in the blood ("circulating tumor DNA" or ctDNA). If there is ctDNA in the blood, a patient's cancer may be more likely to come back. It is standard for people with ctDNA in their blood to be monitored ("active surveillance"), but investigators would like to know if immediate treatment of these patients can prevent cancer recurrence.

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).
Radical hysterectomy via laparotomy (open surgery) is the standard surgical approach for people with early-stage cervical cancer. A radical hysterectomy involves removal of the uterus, cervix, parametria (tissue beside the cervix), and upper part of the vagina; the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and nearby lymph nodes may also be removed. With laparotomy, the operation is performed through a large incision in the abdomen.
Researchers want to see if  dietary changes can affect chemotherapy response or quality of life in people newly diagnosed with multiple myeloma. The people in this study are receiving standard induction (initial) chemotherapy with daratumumab or isatuximab, lenalidomide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone (DRVd).
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.
This clinical trial explores a novel approach to treating mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). Researchers are integrating targeted agents into standard induction and maintenance chemoimmunotherapy.  The people in this study have MCL that has not yet been treated.
Researchers are seeking the best dose of raludotatug deruxtecan (R-DXd) for people with ovarian cancer when given with standard chemotherapy. The people in this study have ovarian cancer that came back after chemotherapy that included a platinum-containing drug.
