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 want to see if combining pembrolizumab, ibrutinib, and rituximab works well against primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL). The people in this study have PCNSL that keeps growing or came back even with treatment.
Researchers want to see if the combination of epcoritamab and ibrutinib is a safe treatment for people with central nervous system lymphoma (CNSL) that keeps growing or came back after treatment.
Researchers want to learn if combining lasofoxifene and abemaciclib works well in people with advanced breast cancer. This treatment will be compared to the usual breast cancer treatment with fulvestrant and abemaciclib. The people in this study have breast cancer that is fueled by estrogen and does not have the HER2 protein. They also have a mutation (change or variant) in the ESR1 gene. Lasofoxifene targets the ESR1 gene mutation.
Cancer that has spread from a solid tumor to the membranes lining the brain and spinal cord (leptomeninges) is called "leptomeningeal metastasis." Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is located between the leptomeninges, in a place called the "intrathecal space." Cancer cells within the CSF rely on iron for growth and survival. Researchers think that the study drug, deferoxamine (DFO), may be an effective treatment for leptomeningeal metastases because it helps remove iron from the body (including the CSF).
The purpose of this study is to assess OBX-115 cellular therapy for people with advanced melanoma or lung cancer. The people in this study have melanoma or non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Their cancers have metastasized (spread) or are inoperable (cannot be taken out with surgery) and keep growing even after treatment.

Prostate cancers initially need the male hormone testosterone for growth. Hormone therapies that lower the level of testosterone are among the best treatments for prostate cancers that have metastasized (spread). The benefits of hormone treatments do not last, however. Over time, many prostate cancers keep growing even with hormonal therapies. These are called metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancers (mCRPC).
Researchers want to know if eating a plant-based diet and taking certain nutritional supplements may be helpful for reducing the risk of progression to multiple myeloma in people with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) or smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM). People with MGUS and SMM have an abnormal protein called the M protein in their blood and are at risk of developing multiple myeloma.
Researchers are seeking the best dose of safusidenib erbumine to treat glioma that came back or keeps growing after treatment. The people in this study have glioma with a mutation (change or variant) in a gene called IDH1. Many gliomas have IDH1 mutations, which help cancer cells survive and grow.
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.
