Recruiting studies in Illinois
- NCT03801876RecruitingPhase 3
Proton versus photon radiation for esophageal cancer
This trial compares proton therapy and standard photon (X-ray) radiation for treating esophageal cancer. It looks to see which approach works better and is safer for people who need chemoradiation.
Alton, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06203600RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Nivolumab plus standard treatment for advanced stomach or esophageal cancer
This trial tests whether adding the immunotherapy drug nivolumab to standard treatment works better for advanced stomach or esophageal cancer. It is for people whose cancer has already progressed after a first round of chemo plus immunotherapy.
Aurora, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05677490RecruitingPhase 3
Chemo options, with or without nivolumab, for HER2-negative stomach cancer
This Phase 3 trial compares two standard chemotherapy regimens for advanced stomach, esophagus, or gastroesophageal junction cancer that is HER2-negative. It also tests whether adding nivolumab (an immune therapy) improves outcomes.
Alton, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06324357RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Zongertinib for HER2-positive cancers that have spread
This trial tests a new pill called zongertinib, alone or with other drugs, for people with HER2-positive cancers (like breast, stomach, or colorectal cancer) that have spread and are no longer responding to standard treatments. The goal is to find the best dose and see if it can help shrink tumors or slow the disease.
Skokie, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07392892RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Study of PF-08634404 plus chemo for stomach and esophagus cancer
This trial tests a new study drug called PF-08634404 in combination with standard chemotherapy for people with stomach, gastroesophageal junction, or esophagus cancer that has spread. It aims to see if adding this drug helps the treatment work better.
Arlington Heights, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07431281RecruitingPhase 3
New drug combo for advanced stomach cancer with CLDN18.2
This trial tests a new drug combination for people with advanced stomach cancer that has not been treated before. It looks at two groups: one with PD-L1 (a protein that helps decide if immunotherapy works), and one without. The treatment includes an antibody-drug conjugate (Sonesitatug Vedotin) plus standard chemotherapy, with or without an immunotherapy drug.
Niles, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT04389632RecruitingPhase 1
Sigvotatug vedotin for advanced solid tumors that spread
This early-stage study tests a drug called sigvotatug vedotin in people with advanced solid cancers that cannot be removed or have spread. It aims to see how well the treatment works and what side effects it causes.
Flossmoor, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07221149RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Pumitamig vs Nivolumab for untreated stomach or esophagus cancer
This trial compares two treatments for people with advanced stomach, gastroesophageal junction, or esophageal cancer that has not been treated before. One group gets pumitamig plus chemotherapy, the other gets nivolumab plus chemotherapy. The goal is to see which combination works better.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06071845Recruiting
Testing a simpler sponge test for Barrett's esophagus
This study tests a new, less invasive way to collect cells from the esophagus using a small sponge on a string (called Cytosponge). It aims to see if this method can accurately detect Barrett's esophagus, a condition that can raise the risk of esophageal cancer.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–90 - NCT05753748Recruiting
Compare watchful waiting vs endoscopy treatment for Barrett’s with low-grade dysplasia
This trial compares two approaches for people with Barrett’s esophagus and low-grade dysplasia: regular monitoring versus treatment done through an endoscopy. It aims to see which approach is safer and better at preventing progression to more serious changes in the esophagus.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–89 - NCT05530343Recruiting
Two ways to sample tissue during Barrett’s follow-up
This study compares two tissue-collection methods during an endoscopy for Barrett’s esophagus to see which one detects concerning changes better. Your results could help improve how doctors check Barrett’s over time.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–89 - NCT07124000Recruiting
T-DXd for advanced HER2-positive solid tumors
This trial is for people with advanced HER2-positive solid tumors (cancers that cannot be removed by surgery or have spread). It tests the drug T-DXd (also called Enhertu) when your doctor has already decided it's the right treatment for you and you have no other good options.
Decatur, IllinoisAges 18–130 - NCT05983432RecruitingPhase 1
Study of BL-B01D1 for advanced lung and other solid tumors
This trial tests an experimental drug called BL-B01D1 for people with several types of advanced solid tumors, especially non-small cell lung cancer and breast cancer. It's designed for those whose cancer has continued to grow after standard treatments.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05334069Recruiting
Blood test study for early cancer detection in patients
This study collects blood from people with cancer and people without cancer (or with possible cancer) to test whether new blood tests can detect cancer earlier. Your blood samples help researchers evaluate how well these tests work.

What taking part in a esophageal adenocarcinoma study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
