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 assess the safety and effectiveness of nivolumab immunotherapy alone and with the drug cabozantinib to reduce the chance that mucosal melanoma will come back after surgery. Nivolumab boosts the power of the immune system to detect and destroy cancer cells. Cabozantinib inhibits cancer cell growth by blocking certain enzymes.
The current standard treatment for throat cancer that is positive for the human papillomavirus (HPV) is 7 weeks of daily radiation therapy given together with chemotherapy, but this treatment can have severe side effects. In this study, researchers are assessing significantly lower doses of radiation (3 weeks) to achieve local and regional control of the tumor with significantly fewer side effects. Treatments will be given in combination with lower doses of chemotherapy (cisplatin, carboplatin, and 5-fluorouracil) as well in people with HPV-positive throat cancer.

Osimertinib is a standard treatment for metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has a change (mutation) in the EGFR gene. Researchers think that adding chemotherapy to osimertinib could make treatment more effective.
The purpose of this study is to find the highest dose of the investigational drug XMT-1660 that can be given safely in people with advanced triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) that persists despite prior chemotherapy. TNBC includes breast cancers that do not contain receptors for estrogen or progesterone and do not have the HER2 protein, so they cannot be treated with medications that target those proteins.
Researchers want to find the best dose of xaluritamig to treat prostate cancer. The people in this study have prostate cancer that has not metastasized (spread) but keeps growing after treatment. Their doctors believe their cancers may respond to hormonal therapies that lower cancer-fueling testosterone. This type of cancer is called non-metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer.
The purpose of this study is to find the best dose of NXC-201 to treat AL amyloidosis. The people in this study have AL amyloidosis that came back or does not get better with treatment.
