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 combination of radiation therapy and chemotherapy (chemoradiation) is a standard treatment for people with HPV-positive throat cancer. HPV is human papillomavirus and can cause throat cancer. Radiation therapy uses radiation to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Chemotherapy stops the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or stopping them from dividing. However, this standard combination may cause severe side effects because it is given over 7 weeks. These side effects include sores in the mouth and gut, sore throat, and changes in taste.

Researchers are comparing two different treatments for breast cancer that metastasized (spread) and makes high levels of the HER2 protein. The people in this study have metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer that keeps growing after trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd). Or they may have had bad side effects from this drug and had to stop taking it.
Primary immune regulatory disorder (PIRD) and autoinflammatory conditions are conditions of the immune system that can cause an unusual amount of inflammation. While a stem cell transplant is a standard treatment for people with a PIRD or autoinflammatory condition, the inflammation caused by these conditions can reduce the effectiveness of this treatment.

Cancer and its treatment can cause problems with attention, memory, and learning. These cognitive difficulties may affect your daily activities and worsen your quality of life.
Researchers in this study are comparing two different treatments for hairy cell leukemia. The people in this study have hairy cell leukemia that has not yet been treated. In addition, their leukemia has a genetic mutation (change) called BRAF V600E.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of the investigational immunotherapy LN-145 in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has metastasized despite prior treatment. LN-145 is called "autologous tumor infiltrating lymphocytes" (TIL) therapy. It activates white blood cells to attack the tumor.
The purpose of this study is to find the highest dose of the investigational drug XL092 that can be given safely with immunotherapy drugs in people with advanced solid tumors that have come back or continued to grow despite treatment. Immunotherapy drugs boost the ability of the immune system to find and kill cancer cells.
