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 seeing how well the drug FORE8394 works in people with advanced solid tumors, including brain tumors. The people in this study include adults and children with cancers that keep growing or came back even with treatment. Their tumors have mutations (changes or variants) in the BRAF gene.
The purpose of this study is to see how well avutometinib and defactinib work in people with thyroid cancer. The people in this study have one of these kinds of cancer:
Osimertinib is a standard treatment for metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has a change (mutation) in the EGFR gene. Researchers think that adding chemotherapy to osimertinib could make treatment more effective.
Researchers are assessing how well erdafitinib works to treat gliomas that keep growing after treatment. The people in this study have glioma with a normal IDH gene and a fusion of two other genes (FGFR-TACC).
The purpose of this study is to find the highest dose of the investigational drug CA-4948 that can be given safely and to evaluate its preliminary anticancer effectiveness in patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma that has come back or continued to grow despite prior therapy. CA-4948 works by blocking a protein in normal and cancerous B cells (a type of immune cell) called IRAK4, which may promote the growth and survival of B cells in lymphoma. CA-4948 is designed to fight cancer by blocking IRAK4, thereby stopping or reducing the signals that promote lymphoma B-cell survival.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of combining three drugs to treat people with an IDH-mutant glioma that came back after chemotherapy or surgery. The three medications are pembrolizumab, olaparib, and temozolomide.
Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a serious condition that can happen after a stem cell transplant from a donor. The donated cells see the healthy tissues in the recipient's body as foreign and attack them. TRX103 is a new drug designed to reduce the risk of GVHD.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of combining a "bivalent" vaccine with two agents that stimulate the immune system: a sugar called beta-glucan and a medication called GM-CSF. The treatment is designed to prevent the relapse of patients with high-risk neuroblastoma that is in complete remission. This bivalent vaccine works by stimulating an immune response against two different antigens, which are markers on the surface of a cell.

Cancer that has spread from a solid tumor to the membranes lining the brain and spinal cord (leptomeninges) is called "leptomeningeal metastasis." Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is located between the leptomeninges, in a place called the "intrathecal space." Cancer cells within the CSF rely on iron for growth and survival. Researchers think that the study drug, deferoxamine (DFO), may be an effective treatment for leptomeningeal metastases because it helps remove iron from the body (including the CSF).
