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 find the best dose of TORL-1-23 to use in people with advanced solid tumors. The people in this study have solid tumors that have spread and cannot be successfully treated with standard therapies.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of nivolumab immunotherapy alone and with the drug cabozantinib to reduce the chance that mucosal melanoma will come back after surgery. Nivolumab boosts the power of the immune system to detect and destroy cancer cells. Cabozantinib inhibits cancer cell growth by blocking certain enzymes.
The purpose of this study is to find the highest dose of the investigational drug RLY-2608 that can be used alone in people with advanced solid tumors and with fulvestrant in people with advanced breast cancer. Participants in this study will have cancers that contain a mutation in a gene called PIK3CA. Their cancers must have continued to grow despite treatment or be inoperable.
Researchers are assessing GC012F (AZD0120) in people with multiple myeloma that came back or keeps growing after treatment. In the first part of this study, researchers will find the best dose of GC012F to use in patients. In the second part of the study, they will assess this dose to treat advanced multiple myeloma.
Researchers in this study want to determine if combining the drug venetoclax with standard chemotherapy may be more effective than standard chemotherapy alone in children and adolescents with relapsed acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Venetoclax blocks Bcl-2, a protein that helps cancer cells to survive and resist the effects of cancer treatments. By blocking Bcl-2, venetoclax may kill cancer cells and/or make other treatments more effective.
The purpose of this study is to compare proton beam radiation therapy with intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) in patients with stage I-IVA esophageal cancer. Both approaches send radiation inside the body to a tumor without damaging much of the healthy tissue around it. However, proton beam radiation therapy uses protons while IMRT uses photons (high-energy x-rays).
The purpose of this study is to see if the combination of fianlimab, cemiplimab, and ipilimumab works well against melanoma. The people in this study have melanoma that is inoperable (cannot be taken out with surgery) or metastatic (spread). In addition, their cancer keeps growing even after treatment that included immunotherapy.

This study is assessing the safety and effectiveness of giving tucatinib and trastuzumab followed by standard CAPOX chemotherapy (the drugs capecitabine and oxaliplatin) in people with locally advanced rectal cancer that has not yet been treated and makes a protein called HER2. Tucatinib and trastuzumab both block HER2, which stimulates cancer cell growth.
Researchers are comparing ivonescimab with pembrolizumab immunotherapy for the initial treatment of advanced lung cancer. The people in this study have non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has metastasized (spread).
