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.
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. 
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.
Plasmablastic lymphoma is a type of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). The purpose of this study is to determine if adding daratumumab to a standard chemotherapy regimen (DA-EPOCH) is a safe way to increase the effectiveness of treatment in people with plasmablastic lymphoma.   
Atezolizumab is a standard treatment for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC, cancer which has spread). Researchers want to see if adding valemetostat to atezolizumab therapy is safe for people with SCLC. The people in this study have extensive-stage SCLC and have completed 4 treatment cycles of atezolizumab with chemotherapy.
Researchers want to find the best dose of INCA033989 to use in people with myelofibrosis (MF) and essential thrombocytopenia (ET). These diseases are called myeloproliferative neoplasms. The people in this study have myeloproliferative neoplasms that came back or keep growing even after treatment. In addition, their cancers have a mutation (change or variant) in the CALR exon-9 gene.
Researchers want to see if adding zanidatamab to standard treatment works well against biliary tract cancer. The people in this study have biliary tract cancer that has spread or cannot be removed with surgery. In addition, their cancers make a protein called HER2.
Atezolizumab and durvalumab are standard drugs used to treat small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Researchers want to see if adding iadademstat to standard treatment helps slow SCLC growth longer than standard immunotherapies alone. The people in this study have SCLC that spread outside the lung or to other parts of the body.
Autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) is a standard treatment for multiple myeloma. An ASCT replaces the blood-forming cells destroyed by disease or treatment with healthy cells collected from your blood. Before ASCT, people generally receive a standard drug, melphalan, to prepare the body for the transplant.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of the investigational drug MORAb-202 in people with endometrial or ovarian cancer. MORAb-202 targets a protein called FRA on cancer cells and delivers eribulin (a chemotherapy drug) directly to these cells, which may slow or stop cancer growth. MORAb-202 is given intravenously (by vein).
Researchers want to see if bulumtatug fuvedotin works well against breast cancer. The people in this study have triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) that came back or spread after treatment.
