Study of a new drug for advanced solid tumors
This study tests a new intravenous drug called ABBV-400 in people with certain advanced solid tumors that have not responded to other treatments. The goal is to see if it can slow or stop tumor growth and to check for side effects.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07371247Enrolling by invitationEarly Phase 1
Adjuvant treatment guided by ctDNA after chemoradiation for esophageal cancer
This trial tests whether adjusting treatment based on a blood test (ctDNA) after standard chemoradiation can improve outcomes for patients with advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. It aims to find a more personalized approach to prevent cancer recurrence.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT07317609RecruitingPhase 1

A blood test to find early signs of gastrointestinal cancer
This study is testing a blood-based test to detect unique molecules (called miRNAs) that may signal the presence of several types of gut or digestive system cancers. The goal is to develop a simple screening tool that could catch these cancers earlier.

HER3-DXd for advanced solid tumors after prior treatment
This trial tests a new targeted drug called HER3-DXd for people with several types of advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard treatments. The drug is an antibody-drug conjugate, designed to deliver chemotherapy directly to cancer cells that have a protein called HER3 on their surface.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06120803RecruitingPhase 2
Esomeprazole for preventing radiation-induced esophagitis
This study tests whether a common heartburn medicine (esomeprazole) can help prevent or reduce painful swallowing caused by radiation for lung cancer. If you have stage 3 non-small cell lung cancer and are getting chemo and chest radiation, you may be able to join.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07795749RecruitingPhase 2
Intraperitoneal paclitaxel with systemic therapy for gastrointestinal cancer with peritoneal spread
This study tests a treatment that combines chemotherapy given directly into the abdomen (intraperitoneal) with standard systemic chemotherapy for people whose gastrointestinal cancer has spread to the lining of the abdomen (peritoneal carcinomatosis). It aims to control the cancer and improve how patients feel.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06112704RecruitingPhase 2
HS-20093 for advanced esophageal and other solid tumors
This trial tests an investigational drug called HS-20093 for people with advanced esophageal cancer or other solid tumors that have not responded to prior treatment. The drug targets a protein on cancer cells called B7-H3, and the study aims to see if it can shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT07432295RecruitingPhase 2
Givastomig plus nivolumab and chemo for advanced stomach cancer
This trial tests a new drug, givastomig, combined with standard immunotherapy (nivolumab) and chemotherapy for people with advanced stomach, gastroesophageal junction, or esophageal cancer. It is for people whose tumors have certain markers (CLDN18.2 and PD-L1) and who have not had treatment for advanced disease.
Goodyear, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06964568RecruitingPhase 3
Chemoradiation followed by immunotherapy for esophageal cancer
This trial tests a treatment for locally advanced esophageal cancer. You'll receive chemoradiation (chemo plus radiation) followed by a maintenance drug (a PD-1 inhibitor) to help prevent the cancer from coming back.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT06676449RecruitingPhase 3
A study on radiation-sparing treatment for advanced esophageal cancer
This trial tests a new approach for advanced esophageal cancer that combines targeted radiation, immunotherapy, and chemotherapy. It aims to see if skipping radiation to certain lymph nodes can improve outcomes while reducing side effects.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06605404Recruiting
Pan-tumor study of a blood test after cancer surgery
This study is testing a new blood test that looks for leftover cancer cells after surgery. It is for people with different types of solid tumors who are planning to have surgery to cure their cancer. The goal is to see if the test can help guide future treatment decisions.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT04900818RecruitingPhase 1
Givastomig for advanced solid cancers, including gastric and pancreas
This Phase 1 trial tests how safe and effective givastomig (TJ033721) is for advanced or metastatic solid tumors. It may help people whose cancer has grown despite standard treatment, or—if in the combination parts—specific cancers that meet certain lab test and tumor-marker requirements.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03526835RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of MCLA-158 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new experimental drug called MCLA-158 (petosemtamab) for people with advanced solid tumors, especially head and neck cancer or colorectal cancer, that have not responded to standard treatments. The study aims to see if this drug can shrink tumors or slow their growth.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for esophageal carcinoma?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 246 recruiting esophageal 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 esophageal 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 esophageal 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.
