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.
DAY301 is a type of drug called an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC). ADCs are substances made up of a monoclonal antibody (special protein) 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 kills them. With ADCs, there is a lower risk of harming normal cells, since they usually do not have the target protein.
The purpose of this study is to find the highest dose of the investigational drug NVL-655 that can be given safely in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or other solid tumors that contain a genetic change called an ALK gene fusion. NVL-655 is a type of drug called a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), which works by blocking proteins that fuel cancer growth. However, some cancer cells develop resistance to TKI treatment.
Researchers are assessing the combination of sacituzumab govitecan and cetuximab for treating head and neck cancer. The people in this study have squamous cell cancer of the head and neck. Their cancer came back or spread after prior treatment.
Researchers want to find the best dose of VLS-1488 to treat various types of advanced cancer. VLS-1488 blocks KIF18A, a protein that plays a role in the rapid growth of cancer cells. By blocking KIF18A, VLS-1488 may cause cancer cells to stop growing and die. VLS-1488 is taken orally (by mouth).

Researchers want to see how well ivosidenib works to treat conventional chondrosarcoma that has metastasized (spread). Chondrosarcoma is a type of bone cancer that forms in cartilage cells. The people in this study have metastatic conventional chondrosarcoma that has a mutation (change) in the IDH1 gene.
Researchers want to find the best dose of ETX-19477 to treat cancer. The people in this study have solid tumors that keep growing even after treatment.

The purpose of this study is to find the highest dose of the investigational immunotherapy drug TJ033721 that can be given safely in people with advanced cancers of the pancreas, esophagus, stomach, or junction between the esophagus and stomach. TJ033721 is an antibody that binds to Claudin 18.2, a protein expressed on some cancers cells, and to 4-1BB, a protein found on immune cells. TJ033721 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).
The purpose of this study is to find the highest dose of the investigational immunotherapy 2141-V11 that can be given safely in people with bladder cancer that has not invaded the bladder muscle wall, has come back after BCG therapy, and will not be surgically removed. The drug 2141-V11 attaches to a protein on immune cells and activates the immune system to find and kill bladder cancer cells. It is given directly into the bladder through a catheter (flexible tube).
