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 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.
Researchers want to see if adding zanidatamab to standard treatment works well against biliary tract cancer. The people in this study have biliary tract cancer that has spread or cannot be removed with surgery. In addition, their cancers make a protein called HER2.
Cells that are "mismatch repair-deficient" (MMR-D) or "microsatellite instability-high" (MSI-H) are unable to repair mistakes made during cell growth. Women with MMR-D/MSI-H endometrial cancer tend not to respond well to the chemotherapy they receive after surgery. Researchers are exploring the use of the immunotherapy TSR-042 (also called dostarlimab) as an alternative to chemotherapy. Radiation therapy is also used after surgery for endometrial cancer.
Researchers want to see if bulumtatug fuvedotin works well against breast cancer. The people in this study have triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) that came back or spread after treatment. 
Nadofaragene firadenovec is a gene therapy that delivers a copy of a protein called IFNa2b to your kidney. This may help your immune system find and destroy cancer cells. By killing the cancer cells, nadofaragene firadenovec may cause your cancer to stop growing and spreading.
Mirdametinib blocks proteins called MEK1 and MEK2, which play an important role in cancer cell growth and survival. By blocking MEK1 and MEK2, mirdametinib may slow or stop the growth of your cancer.

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.
