Immunotherapy plus chemo then chemoradiation for esophageal cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding tislelizumab (an immunotherapy drug) to chemotherapy before a combined course of chemotherapy and radiation can better treat locally advanced, non-surgable esophageal squamous cell cancer. It’s for adults who cannot have surgery and may help shrink the cancer and improve control of the disease.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–70 - NCT05043688RecruitingPhase 3
Camrelizumab with chemo before surgery versus chemo-radiation
This Phase 3 trial compares two ways of treating resectable esophageal squamous cell cancer: (1) camrelizumab plus chemotherapy before surgery versus (2) chemo-radiation. It aims to see whether adding camrelizumab before surgery can improve outcomes for people who are planned to have their tumor surgically removed.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT04174079Recruiting
Chemotherapy after esophagus surgery for lymph node spread
This trial studies whether adding chemotherapy after surgery for esophageal squamous cell cancer can reduce the chance the cancer returns. It focuses on people whose surgery removed cancerous lymph nodes and who are healthy enough to tolerate chemotherapy.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 229 recruiting esophageal squamous cell 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 squamous cell 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 squamous cell 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.
