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.
KIF5B/RET is an abnormal gene that leads to the growth of lung cancer cells. Cabozantinib inhibits the effects of this gene. In addition, this drug interferes with other pathways that also cause cancer cells to grow, form new blood vessels, and spread to other parts of the body.
Researchers are assessing the combination of teclistamab and mezigdomide to treat multiple myeloma. The people in this study have multiple myeloma that came back or keeps growing after treatment.
Researchers are assessing a new combination therapy for neuroblastoma that has a high chance of coming back after treatment. This study is for children with high-risk neuroblastoma who have not gotten more than 1 chemotherapy cycle.
Researchers want to find the best schedule for giving a new vaccine to people with neuroblastoma. The people in this study have neuroblastoma that is in remission (no signs of cancer). In addition, their cancers have a strong chance of coming back (high risk). The vaccine is given with a naturally occurring substance called beta-glucan.

Metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) is a substance taken up specifically by neuroblastoma, pheochromocytoma, or paraganglioma tumor cells. MIBG can be combined with radioactive iodine (<sup>131</sup>I) in the laboratory to form the radioactive compound <sup>131</sup>I-MIBG. The <sup>131</sup>I-MIBG compound concentrates more in cancer cells than in normal cells. It may therefore deliver more radiation directly to cancer cells while sparing normal organs.
Researchers want to find the best dose of LY4052031 to treat people with advanced solid tumors. The people in this study have metastatic solid tumors that came back or keep growing after treatment. In addition, their tumors make a protein called Nectin-4, which plays a role in cancer growth.
Researchers want to see how well raludotatug deruxtecan (R-DXd) works against advanced solid tumors. The people in this study have the following cancers, which have spread despite treatment:
The standard treatment for head and neck cancers includes high-dose radiation therapy and chemotherapy, but it commonly causes side effects. In this study, researchers are assessing a treatment for head and neck cancer that starts with standard high-dose radiation therapy and chemotherapy and then reduces the doses of both treatments. Patients then have surgery to remove lymph nodes and tissue from the neck area.
Researchers are comparing taletrectinib with a placebo (inactive drug) in people with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The people in this study have stage 1B-3A NSCLC that has a ROS1 gene fusion. They have had the tumor completely removed with surgery.
