Kaohsiung CityAges 20 years+ - NCT07050576Recruiting
Lymph node spread in early esophageal cancer
This trial looks at how early-stage esophageal cancer spreads to lymph nodes. It uses CT scans and pathology reports to understand patterns, which may help guide future treatment decisions.
Hefei, AnhuiAges Any age - NCT07054086Recruiting
Personalized treatment testing with tumor models for esophageal cancer
This trial tests whether a personalized treatment plan, chosen using a lab-grown model of your tumor, works better than standard therapy for esophageal cancer that can be surgically removed. It aims to find the most effective drugs for you before surgery.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07061704RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Oncolytic virus trial for esophageal cancer
This trial tests a virus-based therapy for locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. It aims to see if the virus can target and kill cancer cells while sparing healthy tissue.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–80 - NCT07080437Recruiting
Immunotherapy and chemoradiation for elderly esophageal cancer patients
This study looks at how safe and effective a combination of immunotherapy (a treatment that helps your immune system fight cancer) and standard chemotherapy plus radiation is for older adults (70+) with a type of esophageal cancer called squamous cell carcinoma who cannot have surgery or choose not to.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 70 years+ - NCT07085091RecruitingPhase 1
Study of ALX2004 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug, ALX2004, for people with certain advanced cancers (head and neck, lung, esophagus, or colorectal) that have stopped responding to standard treatments. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and effective.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07086469RecruitingPhase 2
Surufatinib plus chemo-immunotherapy before chemoradiation for advanced esophageal cancer
This trial tests a new combination of treatments for people with advanced esophageal cancer that can't be removed by surgery. It uses a targeted therapy called surufatinib along with chemo-immunotherapy and radiation to see if it can shrink the tumor before further treatment.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT07088354Recruiting
AI model predicts treatment response in esophageal cancer
This trial tests whether an artificial intelligence (AI) model can accurately predict if esophageal cancer will completely disappear after chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy before surgery. If successful, it could help doctors decide the best treatment plan for patients.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07152678RecruitingPhase 2
Brachytherapy with radiation and immunotherapy for esophageal cancer
This trial tests combining brachytherapy (a type of internal radiation) with immunotherapy (nivolumab) for people with advanced esophageal cancer that has not fully responded to initial chemoradiation. The goal is to see if this targeted approach can improve outcomes.

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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 226 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.
