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.
Sacituzumab govitecan targets and destroys cells that make a protein called TROP-2. Researchers have found this protein to be expressed on mesothelioma cells. By destroying these cells, sacituzumab govitecan may help slow or stop the growth of your cancer. It is given intravenously (by vein).
Autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) is a standard treatment for multiple myeloma. An ASCT replaces the blood-forming cells destroyed by disease or treatment with healthy cells collected from your blood. Before ASCT, people generally receive a standard drug, melphalan, to prepare the body for the transplant.
Researchers are evaluating PYX-201 in people with solid tumors that have spread and keep growing after treatment. The people in this study have these cancers:
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.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of the investigational drug repotrectinib in children and young adults with solid tumors that have continued to grow or spread despite treatment. Repotrectinib works by targeting and blocking certain proteins that play a role in cancer growth. Some of these proteins are controlled by the ALK, ROS1, NTRK1, NTRK2, and NTRK3 genes. Researchers also think that combining repotrectinib with the chemotherapy drugs irinotecan and temozolomide may make the treatment more effective.
Breast cancer and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) can spread to the cerebrospinal fluid-filled space around the brain and spinal cord. This is called leptomeningeal metastasis (LM). The effects of LM on the nervous system can be very serious.
The purpose of this study is to find the highest dose of the investigational drug ONO-4685 that can be given safely in people with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) or peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) that came back or continued to grow despite treatment. ONO-4685 may strengthen the immune system's ability to fight cancer cells by activating a patient's own cells to destroy the tumor. It is given intravenously (by vein).
