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.
The purpose of this study is to find the highest dose of the investigational drug BCA101 that can be given safely alone and in combination with the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab in patients with advanced lung cancer that cannot be cured with standard treatments. BCA101 is an antibody that targets two proteins involved in cancer growth called EGFR and TGF-beta. By blocking these proteins, BCA101 may interfere with the signals that spur cancer growth. 
Researchers are finding the best dose of MB-CART19.1 immunotherapy in people with lymphoma. The people in this study have central nervous system lymphoma (CNSL) that came back or keeps growing after treatment.
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).
Researchers want to find the best doses of ziftomenib to use with other drugs to treat leukemia. The people in this study have acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that keeps growing even with treatment. In addition, they have AML with changes in the NPM1, KMT2A, or FLT3 genes.
Researchers are comparing treatment with doxorubicin chemotherapy and pembrolizumab immunotherapy to doxorubicin alone for advanced sarcoma. The people in this study have undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS) or a related poorly differentiated sarcoma. Their cancers have metastasized (spread) or are inoperable (cannot be taken out with surgery).
Researchers want to find the best dose of D3L-001 to treat advanced breast cancer. The people in this study have breast cancer that cannot be cured with standard therapies. Their tumors also make the HER2 protein, which plays a role in cancer growth.
Sacituzumab govitecan targets and destroys cells that make a protein called TROP-2. Researchers have found this protein to be expressed on mesothelioma cells. By destroying these cells, sacituzumab govitecan may help slow or stop the growth of your cancer. It is given intravenously (by vein).
