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 bemdaneprocel improves symptoms in people with Parkinson's disease (PD). PD symptoms are due to a loss of cells that make a chemical in your brain called dopamine.

In addition, their cancers have a mutation (change) in the G12C location of the KRAS gene. Olomorasib may help slow or stop the growth of cancers with KRAS G12C mutations. It is taken orally (by mouth).
Doctors routinely use intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) after surgery to treat squamous cell carcinoma (cancer) of the tongue. IMRT delivers radiation directly to cancer cells from different angles by changing the radiation beam into multiple smaller beams. By targeting the tumor more precisely, IMRT reduces radiation damage to healthy tissue.
Researchers want to see if a single radiation therapy dose can limit the growth of colorectal cancer liver metastases. The people in this study have colorectal cancer that has metastasized (spread) to the liver. The treatment is called high-dose stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT).
Researchers want to see if giving NALIRIFOX chemotherapy with high-dose radiation therapy and capecitabine before surgery helps people with pancreatic cancer. The people in this study have pancreatic cancer that involves major blood vessels but has not spread to other organs. The study includes people with pancreatic cancer that may or may not be removable ("borderline resectable" or "locally advanced").
Researchers are comparing pembrolizumab given after surgery for head and neck cancer with the usual treatment. The usual therapy includes chemotherapy and radiation therapy. The people in this study have head and neck cancer that came back or is a new primary cancer.
In this study, researchers are comparing selumetinib plus olaparib to selumetinib alone to treat endometrial or ovarian cancer. People in this study have cancer that came back or keeps growing after treatment. In addition, their cancers have a change (mutation or variant) in a RAS gene.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of the investigational drug repotrectinib in children and young adults with solid tumors that have continued to grow or spread despite treatment. Repotrectinib works by targeting and blocking certain proteins that play a role in cancer growth. Some of these proteins are controlled by the ALK, ROS1, NTRK1, NTRK2, and NTRK3 genes. Researchers also think that combining repotrectinib with the chemotherapy drugs irinotecan and temozolomide may make the treatment more effective.
The purpose of this study is to establish a registry to learn about neurocutaneous melanocytosis (NCM) and how people respond to treatments for this rare disease. NCM is seen mainly in children born with large dark-colored areas of skin called cutaneous melanocytic nevi (LCMN). About one in four of children with LCMN also develop NCM.
