Combination immunotherapy for advanced esophageal cancer after prior treatment
This trial tests a combination of three drugs (adebrelimab, apatinib, and a chemotherapy pill) for people with advanced esophageal cancer whose previous immunotherapy treatment stopped working. The goal is to see if this new combination can help the immune system fight the cancer again.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06349642Recruiting
Testing a live tumor test for immune therapy response
This trial uses a special test on live tumor samples to see if it can predict how well immune checkpoint inhibitors (a type of immunotherapy) will work for different cancers. It may help doctors choose the best treatment for you.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06586957RecruitingPhase 1
Study of NKT3964 for advanced solid tumors
This trial is testing an experimental oral drug called NKT3964 for people with advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard treatments. The drug works by blocking a protein called CDK2, which some cancers need to grow.
Little Rock, ArkansasAges 18 years+ - NCT06846346RecruitingPhase 2
Testing Ivonescimab with Chemo for Advanced Stomach Cancer
This trial tests a new immunotherapy drug called ivonescimab given together with standard chemotherapy for advanced stomach cancer. It may help your immune system fight the cancer more effectively.
LyonAges 18 years+ - NCT07000253RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Timing of local treatment for limited metastatic stomach or esophageal cancer
This trial tests whether giving local treatments (like surgery or radiation) to cancer spots later—after starting immunotherapy or targeted therapy—helps people with stomach or esophageal cancer that has spread to a few places. It aims to improve outcomes by timing treatments carefully.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT07284186RecruitingPhase 1
Study of PLX-61639 for advanced SMARCA4-mutant solid tumors
This trial is testing a new drug called PLX-61639 for people with advanced solid tumors that have a specific SMARCA4 gene change. The drug aims to stop cancer growth by targeting the cells that lack this gene.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07359417RecruitingPhase 1
MR-guided radiation boost for esophageal cancer
This trial tests whether giving a higher dose of radiation to the main tumor, guided by MRI scans, can improve treatment for a type of esophageal cancer called squamous cell carcinoma. You would first receive standard chemoradiation followed by surgery.
Utrecht, UtrechtAges 18 years+ - NCT07463573RecruitingPhase 3
New drug vs chemotherapy for advanced esophageal cancer
This trial tests a new drug, QLC5508, against standard chemotherapy for people with advanced esophageal cancer that has already been treated. It aims to see if the new drug works better.

Tislelizumab with chemo and radiation before surgery for advanced esophageal cancer
This trial tests a combination of an immunotherapy drug (tislelizumab) with chemotherapy and radiation, followed by surgery, for people with advanced esophageal cancer that cannot be removed right away. It aims to see if this approach can help shrink the tumor enough to allow surgery.
Kaohsiung CityAges 20 years+ - NCT07487896RecruitingPhase 3
YL201 vs. chemo for advanced esophageal cancer after first treatment

Anqing, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT07339488RecruitingPhase 2
Low-dose radiation plus immunotherapy to shrink esophageal cancer before surgery
This trial tests whether a combination of low-dose radiation and immunotherapy can shrink advanced esophageal cancer enough to make it removable by surgery. It is for people whose cancer is considered borderline resectable or unresectable due to its location or spread.
Shantou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06084897RecruitingPhase 2
Radiotherapy for metastatic esophageal cancer responding to immunotherapy
This trial tests whether adding radiotherapy can help people with metastatic esophageal cancer that has already responded well to initial treatment with immunotherapy and chemotherapy. It may offer a way to improve outcomes for those whose cancer has not progressed after 2-4 cycles of first-line treatment.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06474468RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of a new drug combo for advanced esophageal cancer
This trial tests a combination of two investigational drugs for people with advanced or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. The goal is to see if the combination can shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–70 - NCT05495152RecruitingPhase 3

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for metastatic esophageal carcinoma?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 114 recruiting metastatic esophageal 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 metastatic esophageal 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 metastatic esophageal 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.
