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.
Cells that are "mismatch repair-deficient" (MMR-D) or "microsatellite instability-high" (MSI-H) are unable to repair mistakes made during cell growth. Women with MMR-D/MSI-H endometrial cancer tend not to respond well to the chemotherapy they receive after surgery. Researchers are exploring the use of the immunotherapy TSR-042 (also called dostarlimab) as an alternative to chemotherapy. Radiation therapy is also used after surgery for endometrial cancer.
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.
Researchers want to find the best dose of ZL-1310 to use in people with advanced digestive tumors. The people in this study have gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine carcinoma (GEP NEC) that spread and keeps growing after treatment. These tumors include NEC of the esophagus, stomach, pancreas, gallbladder, or colon/rectum.

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.
Researchers want to see how well datopotamab deruxtecan (Dato-DXd) works alone and with other drugs against cancer. The people in this study have endometrial, ovarian, or urothelial cancer that has metastasized (spread).
