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 feasibility of a new approach to treat people with T4 breast cancer who have already received chemotherapy. T4 breast cancer occurs when the cancer has grown beyond normal breast tissue and into the chest wall or skin or has become swollen and causes pain. Doctors normally treat T4 breast cancer with chemotherapy followed by mastectomy and removal of underarm (axillary) lymph nodes. After mastectomy, patients normally receive radiation therapy and then have breast reconstruction surgery many months to years after completing radiotherapy.
The purpose of this research study is to understand more about smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM). SMM is multiple myeloma that is not yet causing symptoms. It is usually not treated unless it causes symptoms. 
In this study, researchers are comparing a combination of two new drugs with standard treatment for ovarian cancer. The two drugs are avutometinib and defactinib. The people in this study have low-grade serous ovarian cancer that came back after treatment.
Researchers are seeking the best dose of cirtuvivint to use alone and with ASTX727 for leukemia and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). The people in this study have acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or MDS that keeps growing after treatment.
Researchers want to see how well the combination of obinutuzumab, sonrotoclax, and zanubrutinib works against leukemia and lymphoma. The people in this study have chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) that has not been treated.
Researchers want to find the best dose of 225Ac-ABD147 to treat advanced lung cancer. The people in this study have small cell lung cancer (SCLC) or large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the lung (LCNEC). Their cancer keeps growing even after treatment that included platinum-based chemotherapy.
Researchers are comparing IMA203 cellular therapy with standard treatment in people with melanoma of the skin. Their melanoma is inoperable (cannot be surgically removed) or metastatic (has spread) and keeps growing despite treatment.
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.
Cancer and its treatment can cause problems with attention, memory, and learning. These cognitive difficulties may affect your daily activities and worsen your quality of life.
