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 combining pembrolizumab immunotherapy with standard chemotherapy drugs and autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) in patients with Hodgkin lymphoma that has come back or continued to grow despite one regimen of prior therapy. Pembrolizumab blocks PD-1, a protein cancer cells use to evade detection by the immune system, thereby enabling the immune system to find and kill cancer cells.
Teclistamab is given as an injection under the skin. The goal is to see if lower doses or stopping treatment will have the same benefit with fewer side effects.
Researchers are doing this study to see if the combination of epcoritamab, zanubrutinib, and rituximab works well against lymphoma. The people in this study have follicular lymphoma that has come back or keeps growing after treatment.

Researchers are comparing different treatments for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). The people in this study have NMIBC that keeps growing after treatment with an immunotherapy called Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG). They do not want surgery to remove the bladder (radical cystectomy).

However, most cancer recurrences happen within the first year of treatment. Long-term ICI therapy can also cause lasting side effects and be expensive. Doctors are therefore interested in finding ways to identify which patients can stop maintenance therapy sooner.
Researchers want to see how well volrustomig works to treat people with inoperable head and neck squamous cell cancer (HNSCC). Inoperable means the cancer cannot be taken out with surgery. The people in this study have HNSCC that has not grown after chemotherapy and radiation given at the same time.
Researchers are assessing obinutuzumab in people with primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) whose cancer responded to initial treatment. They want to see if obinutuzumab increases the time without the disease returning or getting worse. This type of treatment is called maintenance therapy.
