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 assessing a new treatment for people with prostate cancer that has not spread but has a high risk of spreading. The new treatment, 2141-V11, will be given with standard prostate cancer therapies.
Atezolizumab is a standard treatment for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC, cancer which has spread). Researchers want to see if adding valemetostat to atezolizumab therapy is safe for people with SCLC. The people in this study have extensive-stage SCLC and have completed 4 treatment cycles of atezolizumab with chemotherapy.
Researchers want to find the best dose of INCA033989 to use in people with myelofibrosis (MF) and essential thrombocytopenia (ET). These diseases are called myeloproliferative neoplasms. The people in this study have myeloproliferative neoplasms that came back or keep growing even after treatment. In addition, their cancers have a mutation (change or variant) in the CALR exon-9 gene.

There is not an accepted or usual approach to treat patients 75 years of age or older diagnosed with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Doctors are seeking effective but less intensive treatment regimens, with fewer side effects, for these patients. A standard treatment for DLBCL is R-CHOP (a combination of the drugs rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone).

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.
Leiomyosarcoma is a type of cancer that forms in smooth muscle. Researchers want to see if adding ADI-PEG 20 to the usual chemotherapy for leiomyosarcoma works better than chemotherapy alone. The people in this study have leiomyosarcoma that keeps growing despite treatment.
This study is comparing two treatment regimens for advanced pancreatic cancer. The people in this study have pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma that has metastasized (spread). They have not yet had treatment for advanced disease.
