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 in this study want to find the best dose of lurbinectedin to treat cancer in children and adults. They also want to see how well this drug works. The people in this study have Ewing sarcoma or other solid tumors that keep growing after treatment. In addition, their cancers contain a genetic change called a FET fusion.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety of the investigational treatment REGN4018 alone and in combination with cemiplimab in women with ovarian, peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer that has come back or gotten worse after previous treatment. REGN4018 is a type of drug called a bispecific antibody: it binds to two specific proteins (MUC16 and CD3) that may be involved in the growth and survival of cancer.
In this study, researchers are comparing a combination of two new drugs with standard treatment for ovarian cancer. The two drugs are avutometinib and defactinib. The people in this study have low-grade serous ovarian cancer that came back after treatment.
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.

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. Standard chemoradiation may cause severe side effects such as mouth and gut sores, sore throat, and changes in taste.

Gemcitabine and oxaliplatin (GemOx) is a standard chemotherapy combination used to treat a cancer of the bile ducts called cholangiocarcinoma. In this study, researchers want to see if adding another treatment that is delivered by a pump device (hepatic arterial infusion or HAI) to GemOx therapy is more effective than GemOx alone for patients with previously untreated inoperable cholangiocarcinoma. The HAI pump, which is implanted in the abdomen during a surgical procedure, continuously delivers the drugs floxuridine and dexamethasone directly to the liver.
Researchers in this study are assessing the combination of enfortumab vedotin with pembrolizumab immunotherapy in people with bladder cancer that has spread to nearby lymph nodes and will be surgically removed. Both medications are already used to treat bladder cancer, but their use together before surgery is considered investigational. Both drugs help the immune system attack and kill cancer cells. The study investigators will see if this combination treatment can get rid of cancer in the lymph nodes and shrink patients' tumors before surgery.
Researchers are assessing the effectiveness of the combination of lenvatinib, pembrolizumab immunotherapy, and fulvestrant to treat advanced breast cancer. The people in this study have inoperable or metastatic breast cancer (cancer that has spread) that is estrogen receptor-positive and HER2-negative.
