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.

In people born with certain genetic mutations or whose tumors have these mutations, the standard treatment for breast cancer with CDK4/6 inhibitors (like palbociclib, ribociclib, or abemaciclib) might not be as effective. However, their tumors may still respond to a different type of drug called PARP inhibitors.
Pirtobrutinib works by blocking a protein called BTK, which helps cancer cells grow and survive. By blocking this protein, pirtobrutinib may help stop cancer cells from growing and spreading. It is taken orally (by mouth).
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.
Radiation delivered to metastatic tumors is known to cause damage to the DNA (genetic information) in the cancer cells, which causes them to die. An ATM mutation reduces cancer cells' ability to fix damage to their DNA, making it more likely that the radiation will kill ATM-mutated cancer cells. Lower doses of radiation therapy may cause fewer side effects than standard doses. In this study, researchers will observe the side effects of reduced-dose radiation therapy in patients with metastatic tumors that contain an ATM mutation and the rate at which tumors grow back (recur) after this treatment. It is hoped that lowering the radiation dose will be effective while reducing the side effects of treatment.
People with cancer often complain that their "mind does not seem to be clear." This can be due to stress, depression or anxiety, or physical problems, or may be due to some cancer treatments. The purpose of this study is to better understand the effects of cancer treatments on thinking (cognitive) abilities and memory in people with breast cancer over age 60. Thinking abilities and memory may decrease with age, and the effects of some treatments could make this problem worse in older people with breast cancer.

ABBV-324 is a type of drug called an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC). ADCs are composed of an antibody made from a specific cell line chemically linked to a drug. The antibody binds to specific proteins on certain types of cells, including cancer cells. The linked drug enters these cells and destroys them, with a lower risk of harming other cells. ABBV-324 is given intravenously (by vein).
Researchers want to find the best dose of RMC-9805 to use in people with advanced solid tumors. The people in this study have cancer that keeps growing even with treatment. The tumors also have a mutation (change) in the KRAS gene called G12D.
