Recruiting studies
- 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 - NCT07359417RecruitingPhase 1
MR-guided radiation boost for esophageal cancer
This trial tests whether giving a higher dose of radiation to the main tumor, guided by MRI scans, can improve treatment for a type of esophageal cancer called squamous cell carcinoma. You would first receive standard chemoradiation followed by surgery.
Utrecht, UtrechtAges 18 years+ - NCT07341737RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
SL-28 for advanced solid tumors that haven’t responded to treatment
This trial tests a new drug, SL-28, for people with advanced solid tumors that haven’t responded to or cannot be treated with standard therapies. It aims to find a safe dose and see if the drug can help shrink or slow the growth of your cancer.
Sydney, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT04460352RecruitingPhase 3
Esophageal cancer treatment with chemoradiation plus planned surgery
This trial tests the best way to treat locally advanced squamous cell esophageal cancer: either chemoradiation followed by planned surgery, or monitoring with surgery only if needed. It may help you choose a strategy that controls the cancer while aiming to reduce unnecessary procedures.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18–80 - NCT07339488RecruitingPhase 2
Low-dose radiation and immunotherapy to shrink hard-to-remove esophageal cancer
This trial tests a treatment approach that combines low-dose radiation with immunotherapy and chemotherapy for people with esophageal cancer that is hard to remove with surgery. The goal is to shrink the tumor enough to make surgery possible, which could improve outcomes.
Shantou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07317609RecruitingPhase 1
Immunotherapy plus chemo before endoscopic resection for esophageal cancer
This trial tests a treatment plan that combines immunotherapy with chemotherapy before possible endoscopic surgery. It is for people with a specific type of esophageal cancer that has not been treated before and is either potentially removable or not suitable for standard surgery.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT04510129Recruiting
Cancer biospecimen collection study for immunotherapy patients
This study collects samples (like tissue biopsies and imaging information) from people with certain cancers who are starting anti–PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy. It helps researchers gather material to study how these treatments work.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07312578Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Targeted drugs plus chemo before surgery for esophageal cancer
This trial tests a combination of two targeted drugs (nimotuzumab and camrelizumab) plus standard chemotherapy before surgery for people with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. The goal is to see if this approach helps shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT07290010RecruitingPhase 2
Iparomlimab plus chemotherapy for advanced esophageal cancer
This trial tests a combination of two immunotherapy drugs (Iparomlimab and Tuvonralimab) with chemotherapy as a first treatment for advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. It aims to see if this combination is safe and effective for people whose cancer cannot be removed by surgery or has spread.
Shijiazhuang, HebeiAges 18 years+ - NCT05473156RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of AP203 for advanced solid tumors that grew despite treatment
This early-phase study tests AP203 (an investigational treatment) to see if it is safe and to look for signs it can shrink or control certain advanced cancers. The study includes a dose-finding part for many solid tumors, and a second part focused on specific lung and head/neck cancers that previously received PD-1/PD-L1 therapy.
TaipeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07266480RecruitingPhase 2
Adalimumab after surgery for esophageal cancer
This trial tests whether adding adalimumab (a medicine that helps the immune system) after surgery can prevent esophageal cancer from coming back. It's for people who have already had their cancer completely removed by surgery.
Shijiazhuang, HebeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07251114Recruiting
AI help for early esophageal cancer depth check during endoscopy
This trial tests if artificial intelligence can help doctors more accurately determine how deep early esophageal cancer goes during an endoscopic ultrasound. It may lead to better treatment decisions for people with early signs of esophageal cancer.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18 years+ - NCT07244978RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus chemotherapy before surgery for esophageal cancer
This trial tests whether giving a new immunotherapy drug (ivonescimab) along with standard chemotherapy before surgery can improve outcomes for people with resectable esophageal cancer. The goal is to shrink the tumor and increase the chance of successful surgery.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT07223424RecruitingPhase 2
Patient preference study: shot vs infusion for immunotherapy
This study compares two ways to take immunotherapy drugs (nivolumab or pembrolizumab): as a shot under the skin (subcutaneous) versus an infusion into a vein (intravenous). It looks at which method patients prefer and is for people with certain advanced cancers where these drugs are already approved.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07224750Recruiting
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.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07222566RecruitingPhase 3
New drug plus chemotherapy for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a new study drug called PF-08634404 combined with standard chemotherapy for people with advanced lung cancer that has not been treated before. It aims to see if this combination works better than chemotherapy alone.

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.
