Study of STRO-004 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called STRO-004 for people with advanced solid tumors (cancers that have spread or come back). It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective for those who have already tried other treatments.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05515315RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus chemo then chemoradiation for esophageal cancer

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for esophageal squamous cell cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 264 recruiting esophageal squamous cell 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 squamous cell 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 squamous cell 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.
