HeidelbergAges 18 years+ - NCT06715839Recruiting
Digestive cancer imaging study with targeted antibodies
This trial uses a special imaging test (PET scan) to find digestive system cancers. It uses molecules that attach to cancer cells so they light up on the scan, which may help doctors see tumors more clearly.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT02530983Recruiting
Survey study for people after esophagus surgery
This study is a survey. It asks people about their experiences after esophagus surgery (either removing part of the esophagus or rebuilding it). It may help doctors understand what happens to patients over time and improve future care.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06043466RecruitingPhase 1
CAR-T cell therapy for CEA-positive advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new cell therapy called CAR-T that targets cancer cells with a protein called CEA. It is for people with certain advanced cancers that have not responded to standard treatments.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT07617246RecruitingPhase 2
Preventing nausea from cancer treatment with new medications
This study tests two medications (fosrolapitant and palonosetron) to prevent severe nausea and vomiting in patients with esophageal or lung cancer who are receiving chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy. If the medications work well, they could help patients feel better during treatment and complete their cancer care more comfortably.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT05706558Recruiting
Study of esophageal cancer surgery records
This study looks back at past patients’ medical and pathology records from esophageal cancer surgeries. It may help improve how doctors understand which advanced tumors should be treated, by reviewing outcomes in specific tumor stages.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04821778RecruitingPhase 3
Testing chemoradiotherapy for esophageal and stomach junction cancer
This Phase 3 study tests a cancer treatment plan that combines chemotherapy and radiation for people with esophageal or esophagus-stomach junction cancer. It aims to see whether this approach works better than standard care for cancers at stages I to IVA.
Anyang, HenanAges 18 years+ - NCT07070466RecruitingPhase 2
Ivonescimab with chemotherapy for advanced stomach or esophageal cancer
This study tests a new drug called ivonescimab combined with standard chemotherapy (FOLFOX) for people with advanced adenocarcinoma of the esophagus, stomach, or gastroesophageal junction. The drug is designed to help the immune system fight cancer. The study is for people who have not had prior treatment for stage IV disease and whose cancer is HER2 negative.
Santa Monica, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT02427269Enrolling by invitation
Blood and tissue sample study for esophagus conditions
This study collects blood and biopsy tissue from people who are having an upper endoscopy at UNC for Barrett’s esophagus or esophageal cancer. The samples help researchers build a biorepository to study these conditions and support future research.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT02988921Recruiting
MRI and CT planning for esophagus or stomach-junction cancer treatment
This study checks whether MRI and CT scans can better measure how esophageal or stomach-junction tumors respond during chemoradiotherapy and help doctors map the exact treatment area. It may help improve targeting while you receive standard treatment.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06430658RecruitingPhase 2
Combination treatment before surgery for unresectable esophageal cancer
This trial tests a combination of treatments given before surgery to shrink tumors in patients with esophageal cancer that is considered too advanced for immediate surgery. The goal is to make surgery possible and improve outcomes.
