Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06709417RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus chemo and radiation for advanced esophageal cancer
This trial is testing whether giving a combination of an immunotherapy drug (sintilimab) with chemotherapy, followed by radiation plus more chemotherapy (concurrent chemoradiotherapy), can help people with advanced esophageal cancer that cannot be removed surgically. The goal is to see if this approach shrinks the tumor and improves outcomes.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 20–75 - NCT06718205RecruitingPhase 2
Nimotuzumab plus immunotherapy and chemo for esophageal cancer
This study tests a new combination of drugs for advanced esophageal cancer. It adds an antibody (nimotuzumab) and an immunotherapy (sintilimab) to standard chemotherapy, aiming to improve how well treatment works.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18–75 - NCT06753747RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Afatinib and palbociclib for advanced esophageal cancer
This trial tests a combination of two targeted drugs (afatinib and palbociclib) for people with advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma that has grown after previous treatment. It is designed for those whose cancer cells have too much of a protein called EGFR.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–75 - NCT06773507RecruitingPhase 1
Study of BC008-1A for advanced solid tumors

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 165 recruiting advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
