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 want to learn how well zelenectide pevedotin works against advanced breast cancer. The people in this study have breast cancer that has come back, spread, or cannot be surgically removed. Their cancers are hormone receptor positive/HER2-negative or are triple negative. In addition, their tumor cells have an amplification (too many copies) of a gene called Nectin4.
Researchers want to find the best dose of a new CAR T cell therapy for esophagogastric cancer. Esophagogastric cancer is cancer of the esophagus or stomach. The people in this study have esophagogastric cancer that has metastasized (spread), including to the peritoneum (lining of the belly). In addition, their cancer makes a protein called mesothelin and keeps growing after initial treatment.
Researchers want to find the best doses of ziftomenib to use with other drugs to treat leukemia. The people in this study have acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that keeps growing even with treatment. In addition, they have AML with changes in the NPM1, KMT2A, or FLT3 genes.
The combination of radiation therapy and chemotherapy (chemoradiation) is a standard treatment for people with HPV-positive throat cancer. HPV is human papillomavirus and can cause throat cancer. Radiation therapy uses radiation to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Chemotherapy stops the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or stopping them from dividing. However, this standard combination may cause severe side effects because it is given over 7 weeks. These side effects include sores in the mouth and gut, sore throat, and changes in taste.

Prostate cancers initially need the male hormone testosterone for growth. Hormone therapies that lower the level of testosterone are among the best treatments for prostate cancers that have metastasized (spread). The benefits of hormone treatments often do not last, however. Over time, many prostate cancers keep growing even with hormonal therapies. These are called castration-resistant prostate cancers (CRPC).

This study is assessing a new treatment approach for people with oligometastatic breast cancer. This means their cancer has spread to a small number of other parts of the body. Their cancers have high levels of the HER2 protein, which promotes breast cancer growth. In addition, they started drug therapy for their cancer and it has not gotten worse in the last 3-12 months.
The standard treatment for poor-risk and intermediate-risk germ cell tumors (GCTs), such as testicular cancer, is chemotherapy with the drugs bleomycin, etoposide, and cisplatin (abbreviated BEP) given every three weeks. In this study, researchers want to see if giving BEP chemotherapy every two weeks is more effective for controlling tumor growth than the standard regimen in patients with metastatic intermediate-risk and poor-risk GCTs.
