Study of pre-surgery therapy for advanced esophageal cancer
This trial tests a combination of drugs (anlotinib, immunotherapy, and chemotherapy) given before surgery for esophageal cancer that has not spread to other organs. The goal is to see if this approach shrinks the tumor and improves outcomes.
Chongqing, None SelectedAges 18–80 - NCT06356688RecruitingPhase 2
Study of chemo plus immunotherapy before surgery for esophageal cancer
This trial tests a combination of two chemotherapy drugs (paclitaxel and cisplatin) plus an immunotherapy drug (cadonilimab) given before surgery for advanced esophageal cancer. The goal is to see if this treatment shrinks the tumor and improves outcomes.

Immunotherapy and Chemoradiation for Advanced Esophageal Cancer
This trial tests a combination of immunotherapy (adebrelimab) plus standard chemotherapy and radiation for people with advanced esophageal cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. The goal is to see if adding the immunotherapy before and during chemoradiation helps control the cancer better.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–70 - NCT06561178Recruiting
Blood Test to Monitor Esophageal Cancer After Surgery
This trial looks at whether a personalized blood test can detect cancer returning after surgery for esophageal cancer. It tests people who had chemoradiotherapy before surgery and still had some cancer remaining in the removed tissue. The goal is to use the blood test to catch any remaining or returning cancer early.
