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.
Women with a mutation in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes are at increased risk for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer. However, the cancer risk estimates for these gene mutations are currently wide-ranging and non-specific. A new form of genetic testing, called "genetic risk modifier testing," may give women with BRCA1/2 gene mutations more specific estimates of their risk of developing breast cancer.
Researchers are seeking the best dose of mRNA-4203 to give with a cellular therapy in people with melanoma or sarcoma. The cellular therapy is called IMA203 and is custom-made from each patient's white blood cells.
Researchers want to see if ficerafusp alfa plus pembrolizumab is safe and works well against head and neck cancer. They will assess different doses of ficerafusp alfa to find the best one. The people in this study have head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. Their cancers have come back or metastasized (spread) after treatment.
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.
Researchers are expanding access to the drug zidesamtinib for people with advanced solid tumors. The people in this study have non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or another solid tumor with a fusion (change) in the ROS1 gene. This fusion can cause cancer cells to multiply and spread.
The purpose of this study is to find the highest dose of the drug alectinib that can be given safely in children and adolescents with solid tumors or brain and spinal cord cancers that persist after treatment and have a genetic change called an ALK gene fusion. With this gene fusion, the ALK gene attaches to part of another gene.

Researchers are comparing different sequences of therapy for people with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma. All participants will get cilta-cel CAR T-cell therapy, a form of immunotherapy made from your own white blood cells.
Researchers are comparing several combination drug treatments for people with cancer of the stomach or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ). The people in this study have gastric or GEJ cancer that metastasized (spread) or is inoperable (cannot be surgically removed). In addition, their tumors make a protein called HER2.
