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 are comparing taletrectinib with a placebo (inactive drug) in people with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The people in this study have stage 1B-3A NSCLC that has a ROS1 gene fusion. They have had the tumor completely removed with surgery.
The purpose of this study is to see if one year of treatment with olaparib is better than observation alone in patients who had pancreatic cancer surgically removed and who have mutations in the BRCA1, BRCA2 or PALB2 genes. Olaparib is a type of anticancer medication called a PARP inhibitor, which may slow down the process cancer cells use to repair their DNA. Cancer cells need to repair their DNA to survive and grow.
Limited metastatic colorectal cancer is cancer that has spread to no more than 4 parts of the body. The usual treatment for limited metastatic colorectal cancer is chemotherapy. In this study, researchers want to see if adding local therapies makes treatment work better. Local therapies are used to treat cancer only at specific sites.

Researchers are assessing Lutetium-FAP for people with advanced pancreatic cancer. Lutetium-FAP is a drug with a radioactive part attached. It targets cancer cells that make a protein called FAP, which may help cancer grow and survive. Lutetium-FAP combines a radiation-emitting metal with a tumor-targeting agent to deliver radiation into a tumor and destroy cancer cells.
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.
This study is assessing the safety and effectiveness of ASTX727 in people who have malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNST) with a mutation in a gene complex called PRC2 (EED or SUZ12). ASTX727 is a combination of two drugs (cedazuridine and decitabine) that have been designed to target cancer cells with a PRC2 complex genetic mutation and disrupt the cells' ability to survive and grow.
Prostate cancers initially need the male hormone testosterone for growth. Hormone therapies that lower the level of testosterone are among the best treatments for prostate cancers that have metastasized (spread). The benefits of hormone treatments often do not last, however. Over time, many prostate cancers keep growing even with hormonal therapies. These are called castration-resistant prostate cancers (CRPC).
Cancer and its treatment can cause problems with attention, memory, and learning. These cognitive difficulties may affect your daily activities and worsen your quality of life.
Researchers are assessing the safety of the drug VT3989 in people with mesothelioma. The people in this study have mesothelioma with a mutation (change or variant) in the NF2 gene.
