Ivonescimab, chemotherapy, and radiation for lung cancer with brain tumors
This study tests a combination of a new immunotherapy drug (ivonescimab), standard chemotherapy, and focused radiation (stereotactic radiosurgery) for non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to the brain. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors in both the lungs and brain.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07464470Recruiting
Comparing stomach cancer and brain metastasis genetics
This trial studies stomach and esophageal cancers that spread to the brain. It compares the genetic makeup of the original tumor to the brain metastasis, which may help find better treatments.
MoscowAges 18 years+ - NCT06232083RecruitingPhase 1
Study of Caronizumab with low-dose radiation for certain cancers
This trial tests a combination of an immunotherapy drug (Caronizumab) and a special type of low-dose radiation (PLDR) for people with esophageal, lung, or cervical cancer that has come back or spread after initial treatment. It aims to see if the combination can help stop the cancer from growing.
Hefei, British ColumbiaAges 18–75 - NCT06645808RecruitingEarly Phase 1
PET imaging study for various solid tumors
This study uses a special PET scan to see if a new imaging agent can help find and monitor certain solid tumors. It is for people with colon, rectal, sarcoma, breast, lung, head and neck, esophageal, stomach, pancreas, bladder cancers, or glioblastoma who have had standard treatment before surgery.
Groningen, Provincie GroningenAges 18 years+ - NCT07444437RecruitingPhase 2
LM103 after surgery for lung cancer
This trial tests if LM103, given after surgery and standard chemotherapy, helps prevent non-small cell lung cancer from coming back. It is for people who have already had chemotherapy or immunotherapy before surgery and whose cancer did not return after surgery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07181473RecruitingPhase 1
Safety of TJ101 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called TJ101 for people with advanced solid tumors who have tried standard treatments or have no standard options. It aims to see if the drug is safe and how well it works.
Orlando, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06792786Recruiting
Study of Chemo-Immunotherapy and Radiation for Esophageal Cancer with Blood Monitoring
This study tests a combination of chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and radiation for esophageal cancer that cannot be surgically removed. It also uses a simple blood test (ctDNA) to monitor your cancer's response throughout treatment.
Jinhua, ZhejiangAges 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.

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.
