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 purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of cesium-131 (Cs-131) brachytherapy in patients with brain cancer that has come back after prior radiation therapy and who will be having surgery to remove it. Brachytherapy involves the placement of radioactive seeds into the brain during surgery. The seeds remain in place permanently in the area where the tumor was removed and give off cancer-killing radiation temporarily. 
Researchers want to find the best dose of BMS-986393 to use with other drugs to treat multiple myeloma. The people in this study have multiple myeloma that keeps growing or came back after treatment.
Researchers want to see how well tivozanib plus pembrolizumab works in people with kidney cancer. The people in this study had surgery for renal cell carcinoma and have a high risk of it coming back.
The standard treatment for poor-risk and intermediate-risk germ cell tumors (GCTs), such as testicular cancer, is chemotherapy with the drugs bleomycin, etoposide, and cisplatin (abbreviated BEP) given every three weeks. In this study, researchers want to see if giving BEP chemotherapy every two weeks is more effective for controlling tumor growth than the standard regimen in patients with metastatic intermediate-risk and poor-risk GCTs.
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 purpose of this study is to see how well zipalertinib works to treat advanced lung cancer. The people in this study have non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has spread. The cancer also has a mutation (change) in the EGFR gene. When people have an EGFR mutation, the EGFR protein on their cells can trigger cancer growth.
Mirdametinib blocks proteins called MEK1 and MEK2, which play an important role in cancer cell growth and survival. By blocking MEK1 and MEK2, mirdametinib may slow or stop the growth of your cancer.
In this study, researchers want to see how well a personalized vaccine works for people with pancreatic cancer. The people in this study have pancreatic cancer that can be taken out with surgery. The vaccine is called autogene cevumeran. It is an "mRNA vaccine," made in a way similar to the vaccines used to prevent COVID. It will be given in combination with a drug called atezolizumab and a chemotherapy treatment called mFOLFIRINOX.
In this study, researchers want to see if enzalutamide, alone or with mifepristone, works well against advanced breast cancer. The people in this study have either triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) or cancer that is low in estrogen receptors (ER). Receptors are docking sites on cancer cells for hormones or other proteins. TNBC is breast cancer that is not fueled by estrogen or progesterone and does not make a protein called HER2. The people in this study also have cancer cells that have receptors for proteins called androgens (AR-positive cancers).
