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.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of the drug mosunetuzumab for people with follicular lymphoma who have not yet received treatment. Mosunetuzumab binds to a cancer cell and a T cell (which plays a key role in the immune system) at the same time. Researchers think that mosunetuzumab may strengthen the immune system's ability to fight cancer cells by activating a patient's own cells to destroy the tumor. Mosunetuzumab is given as a subcutaneous (under the skin) injection.
Researchers want to see if ruxolitinib works well as a treatment for T-cell large granular lymphocytic leukemia (T-LGLL). T-LGLL is a rare cancer of white blood cells called lymphocytes. The people in this study have T-LGLL that keeps growing even with treatment.
Researchers are seeking the best dose of CABA-201 to treat people with active idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM). The people in this study have IIM, juvenile idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (JIIM), or myositis. With JIIM and some subtypes of IIM, B cells make the body to attack different tissues, causing inflammation and muscle weakness.
Researchers are assessing a lower dose of standard radiation therapy after chemotherapy in young people with germinomas. The patients in this study have germinomas of the central nervous system (brain or spinal cord). It is hoped that this new approach can destroy germinomas with fewer long-term side effects.
Deficient mismatch repair (dMMR) happens when a cell becomes unable to repair mistakes that happen during the normal process of cell division. Standard treatments for early-stage rectal cancer include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery. In this study, researchers are assessing the safety and effectiveness of giving the investigational immunotherapy dostarlimab first in people with locally advanced mismatch repair-deficient rectal cancer. Doctors will then evaluate patients' response to treatment before considering standard chemoradiation and/or surgery. Patients whose tumors respond completely to dostarlimab alone can be followed with close surveillance and no surgery.
Researchers are comparing two different treatments for breast cancer that metastasized (spread) and makes high levels of the HER2 protein. The people in this study have metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer that keeps growing after trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd). Or they may have had bad side effects from this drug and had to stop taking it.
In this study, researchers are assessing the safety and effectiveness of giving the drug disitamab vedotin alone and in combination with pembrolizumab immunotherapy in people with inoperable or metastatic urothelial cancers that make too much of the HER2 protein. Disitamab vedotin targets and kills cancer cells with the HER2 protein. Pembrolizumab boosts the power of the immune system to detect and destroy cancer cells.
