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 usual approach to managing HPV-related oropharynx cancer in people whose tumors have a higher risk of coming back after surgery is to use radiation therapy to prevent tumor relapse. However, not all patients have tumors that come back after surgery, and many may not need radiation therapy at all, or only need it later when there are early signs of the cancer coming back.
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.
Their tumors are also mismatch repair proficient (MMRp)/microsatellite stable (MSS). MMRp/MMS means that their cells are working normally to repair any mistakes made during cell division.

Researchers are studying how casdatifan, alone or with zimberelimab, works in people with kidney cancer. The people in this study have clear cell renal cell carcinoma. Their cancers have metastasized (spread) or are inoperable (cannot be taken out with surgery).
Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) is a type of T-cell cancer. This cancer has a fusion (change) in the ALK gene. The fusion gene makes a protein that promotes cancer growth and survival. This type of cancer is called ALK-positive ALCL.
Researchers in this study are comparing two different treatments for hairy cell leukemia. The people in this study have hairy cell leukemia that has not yet been treated. In addition, their leukemia has a genetic mutation (change) called BRAF V600E.
