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.
After a stem cell transplant, some patients develop a condition called graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). This occurs when the donor's healthy immune cells see the recipient's normal cells as foreign and attack them.
The purpose of this study is to compare two different approaches to surgery for children and adults with osteosarcoma (bone cancer) that has spread (metastasized) to the lungs. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two techniques:
Researchers want to see if adding cabozantinib to standard chemotherapy works better than chemotherapy alone for osteosarcoma. The people in this study include children, adolescents, and young adults with osteosarcoma that has not yet been treated.
Researchers want to find the highest dose of ECI830 that can be given safely in people with advanced cancer. The people in this study have breast cancer or other solid tumors that have spread beyond their original location.
Researchers in this study are assessing a combination of imaging and blood tests to find pancreatic cancer early. The people in this study have an increased risk of this cancer due to pancreatic cysts. They are planning to have surgery to remove the cysts and check them for cancer. It is hoped that the imaging and blood tests can detect pancreatic cancer early so people can avoid surgery.
Breast cancer and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) can spread to the cerebrospinal fluid-filled space around the brain and spinal cord. This is called leptomeningeal metastasis (LM). The effects of LM on the nervous system can be very serious.

After people receive chemotherapy for colon cancer, doctors may be able to detect tumor DNA in the blood ("circulating tumor DNA" or ctDNA). If there is ctDNA in the blood, a patient's cancer may be more likely to come back. It is standard for people with ctDNA in their blood to be monitored ("active surveillance"), but investigators would like to know if immediate treatment of these patients can prevent cancer recurrence.
Researchers want to see how well ulixertinib works in people with histiocytic neoplasms. Histiocytic neoplasms are rare diseases in which too many white blood cells called histiocytes build up in tissues and organs. This can cause damage to tissue or tumor(s) to form. The tumor(s) may be benign (not cancer) or malignant (cancer). There are different types of histiocytic neoplasms, including:
