Study of HLX43 for advanced esophageal cancer
This trial tests a new drug, HLX43, for people with advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma that has stopped responding to or cannot tolerate standard treatments. It aims to see if HLX43 can help shrink or control the cancer.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–75 - NCT07165184Recruiting
Lymph node spread in esophageal cancer study
This study looks at how often cancer has spread to lymph nodes in people with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. It may help doctors plan better treatment. You may be eligible if your cancer hasn't spread to other organs and you haven't had another cancer.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 20–85 - NCT07165210Recruiting
Lymph node spread in esophageal cancer trial
This trial looks at how often a specific lymph node (106TBL) is involved in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. It may help guide treatment decisions for people who have not had other cancers and whose tumor is in the chest (not the neck).
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 20–85 - NCT07177794RecruitingPhase 3
Toripalimab and capecitabine after chemoradiotherapy for esophageal cancer
This trial tests whether adding the immunotherapy drug toripalimab and the chemotherapy pill capecitabine after standard chemoradiotherapy can help prevent esophageal cancer from coming back. It's for people with squamous cell esophageal cancer that hasn't spread far and who have just finished chemoradiotherapy.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT02634645Recruiting
Treatment study for Barrett’s pre-cancer or esophageal cancer
This study looks at treatment options for people with Barrett’s esophagus that has progressed to abnormal cell growth (dysplasia) or cancer. It may help doctors compare approaches that use procedures to remove and/or destroy abnormal tissue in the esophagus.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–100 - NCT06496789RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus chemo before surgery for stomach cancer
This trial tests a new immunotherapy drug (serplulimab) combined with standard chemotherapy before surgery for patients with locally advanced stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer. The goal is to see if this combination helps shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
TianjinAges 18–75 - NCT07622940RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CAR-NK Cell Therapy for Advanced Esophageal Cancer
This trial tests a new immunotherapy using specially engineered natural killer cells (a type of immune cell) designed to target two proteins found on esophageal cancer cells. It's for patients with advanced esophageal adenocarcinoma that has spread or returned after prior treatment.
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06269211RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy before surgery for EGFR-mutated lung cancer
This trial tests whether giving an immunotherapy drug (toripalimab) before surgery can help people with a specific type of lung cancer (EGFR-mutated, PD-L1 positive) that can be removed. The goal is to see if it improves treatment results compared to surgery alone.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT07139067RecruitingPhase 1
YK1101 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new cell therapy called YK1101 for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatment. It targets a specific protein (MAGE-A4) on cancer cells and requires a matching genetic type called HLA-A*11:01.
BeijingAges 18–75 - NCT06868732RecruitingPhase 1
A new drug combination for advanced non-small cell lung cancer
This trial tests a new drug combination for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that cannot be removed with surgery or cured with radiation. It aims to see if the combination is safe and effective.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT04973293Recruiting
Pre-surgery immunotherapy plus chemo and blood-vessel medicine for lung cancer
This study tests whether giving sintilimab (an immune therapy) combined with bevacizumab (a blood-vessel–targeting medicine) plus chemotherapy before surgery can improve outcomes for resectable lung cancer. It’s meant for people with specific lung cancer types and good health for surgery, and it avoids certain cancer types and immune-related risks.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06951646RecruitingPhase 2
Personalized treatment for advanced lung cancer with long response to first-line therapy
This trial tests a combination of ivonescimab and docetaxel for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer who have had a long response (11-15 months without the cancer getting worse) to first-line immunotherapy. The goal is to see if adjusting treatment based on ctDNA-MRD levels can improve outcomes.
ChangshaAges 18–75 - NCT07138755RecruitingPhase 2
PD-1, chemo, and adaptive radiation for stage 3 lung cancer
This study tests if adding an immunotherapy drug (PD-1 inhibitor) to chemotherapy and specially planned radiation works better for stage 3 lung cancer that cannot be surgically removed. It may be an option if you have not had previous treatment for this cancer.
Changsha, HunanAges 18–75 - NCT07397611RecruitingPhase 2
Neoadjuvant immunotherapy for clear cell kidney cancer
This study tests a new combination of medications (casdatifan and zimberelimab) given before surgery to remove kidney tumors in people with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). The goal is to see if this approach can help shrink the tumor or improve outcomes.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04114136RecruitingPhase 2
Study tests pembrolizumab or nivolumab plus a diabetes-like drug
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding a metabolic (diabetes-related) medicine to an immune therapy (pembrolizumab or nivolumab) can better control certain solid tumors. It may help people whose standard treatment would usually be pembrolizumab or nivolumab alone.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07114601RecruitingPhase 1
Study of LY4257496 for people with GRPR-positive solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug, LY4257496, in people with certain types of cancer that have a protein called GRPR on their cells. The study aims to see if the drug can help shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06163729RecruitingPhase 2
Testing camrelizumab plus chemo and radiation before/after surgery for stomach-esophagus cancer
This trial tests combining the immunotherapy drug camrelizumab with chemotherapy and radiation before and after surgery for a specific type of stomach-esophagus cancer. It aims to see if this approach helps shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06077981Recruiting
Comparing two fluids for removing surface esophageal tumors
This trial tests two different fluids (hyaluronic acid and hydroxyethylamide) used during a procedure to remove early-stage esophageal cancer. The goal is to see which fluid works better to help the doctor remove the tumor safely.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for esophageal squamous cell cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 261 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.
