Study of MGC026 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called MGC026 that targets a protein called B7-H3 on cancer cells, aiming to shrink or slow different advanced solid tumors. It is an early-phase study to find the right dose and check safety.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06263088Recruiting
Equity in GI Cancer Care Study
This trial is looking for Black patients newly diagnosed with any stage of gastrointestinal cancer to help improve cancer care and make sure research includes everyone. By joining, you help doctors learn how to better support patients like you.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06306755Recruiting
Risk-based screening for esophageal and gastric cancer
This study tests a new way of screening for esophagus and stomach cancer by using a risk-based approach. It aims to see if this works better than standard screening, and is offered to people in certain villages in China.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 50–69 - NCT06346080Recruiting
Survey on gastro-esophageal cancer screening choices
This study is a survey to understand how patients and the public make choices about screening for gastro-esophageal cancer. It aims to help design better testing programs.
LeuvenAges 18–85 - NCT06346054Recruiting
Breath and blood test for gastro-esophageal cancer and Barrett's esophagus
This study is testing whether a simple breath and blood test can help doctors better understand gastro-esophageal cancer and Barrett's esophagus. It aims to see if these non-invasive samples can provide useful information for diagnosis and monitoring.
LeuvenAges 18–100 - NCT06403878RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo-immunotherapy before surgery for older adults with esophageal cancer
This trial tests whether giving chemotherapy and immunotherapy before surgery is safe and effective for older adults (70+) with a certain type of esophageal cancer. It aims to find a treatment approach that works well for patients who haven't had cancer treatment before.
ChengduAges 70–100 - NCT06414902RecruitingPhase 1
PET scan to see if chemoradiation is working for esophageal cancer
This trial uses a special PET/CT scan to see how well your esophageal cancer responds to chemotherapy and radiation. It helps doctors find out if the treatment is working early on.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06421376RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo-immunotherapy before radiation for advanced esophageal cancer
This study tests a combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy before and after standard chemoradiation for people with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. It aims to see if this approach can improve outcomes with manageable side effects.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for esophageal cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 374 recruiting esophageal cancer 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 esophageal cancer 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 esophageal cancer 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.
