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.

Padeliporfin VTP (vascular targeted photodynamic) therapy uses targeted laser light to destroy cancer cells while causing minimal damage to the tissues around the cancer. In this study, researchers want to learn if padeliporfin VTP therapy is effective and safe for people with low-grade upper urothelial cancers (tumors of the kidney or ureter) that have not spread.
Severe aplastic anemia is a serious condition where the bone marrow does not make the normal amount of blood cells. Bone marrow transplantation is one way to treat this disease. It has been reserved for people under age 40 with a related donor whose cells fully match theirs. However, advances have been made in bone marrow transplantation that make it an option for more people.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of a specialized light treatment for children and adults with chronic graft-versus host disease (GVHD) of the mouth (oral GVHD) that has not improved after standard treatment. GVHD is a complication that can occur after a stem cell or bone marrow transplant. The newly transplanted donor cells attack the transplant recipient's body and cause serious health problems. Oral GVHD can cause mouth inflammation, pain, and sores.
Researchers are studying combining RMC-6236 with other anti-cancer drugs in people with advanced digestive cancers (pancreatic, colorectal cancer, and others). The people in this study have either:
Researchers are comparing RMC-6236 with standard therapy in people with advanced pancreatic cancer. The people in this study have pancreatic cancer that has metastasized (spread) and keeps growing even after treatment.

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.
