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 see if ficerafusp alfa plus pembrolizumab is safe and works well against head and neck cancer. They will assess different doses of ficerafusp alfa to find the best one. The people in this study have head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. Their cancers have come back or metastasized (spread) after treatment.
Researchers want to learn how well zelenectide pevedotin works against advanced breast cancer. The people in this study have breast cancer that has come back, spread, or cannot be surgically removed. Their cancers are hormone receptor positive/HER2-negative or are triple negative. In addition, their tumor cells have an amplification (too many copies) of a gene called Nectin4.
Researchers want to see if a test for cancer DNA in the blood helps doctors decide whether to reduce Hodgkin lymphoma chemotherapy. The blood test is a circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) test called Foresight CLARITY. ctDNA is genetic material released by tumor cells directly into the bloodstream.
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).

Radiation delivered to metastatic tumors is known to cause damage to the DNA (genetic information) in the cancer cells, which causes them to die. An ATM mutation reduces cancer cells' ability to fix damage to their DNA, making it more likely that the radiation will kill ATM-mutated cancer cells. Lower doses of radiation therapy may cause fewer side effects than standard doses. In this study, researchers will observe the side effects of reduced-dose radiation therapy in patients with metastatic tumors that contain an ATM mutation and the rate at which tumors grow back (recur) after this treatment. It is hoped that lowering the radiation dose will be effective while reducing the side effects of treatment.
Researchers are assessing JCAR017 in people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL). The people in this study have CLL or SLL that came back or keeps growing after treatment.
Researchers are assessing neladalkib for people with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The people in this study have NSCLC that has spread beyond its original location. In addition, their cancers have a fusion (genetic change) involving a gene called ALK.
Researchers want to know if eating a plant-based diet and taking certain nutritional supplements may be helpful for reducing the risk of progression to multiple myeloma in people with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) or smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM). People with MGUS and SMM have an abnormal protein called the M protein in their blood and are at risk of developing multiple myeloma.
The purpose of this study is to assess stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) to treat people with small cell lung cancer (SCLC) who have been newly diagnosed with brain metastases (cancer that spread to the brain). SRS specifically targets a very small area of the body. By targeting the part of the brain where the cancer has spread, SRS may shrink the cancer without damaging healthy brain tissue.
