SL-28 for advanced solid tumors that haven’t responded to treatment
This trial tests a new drug, SL-28, for people with advanced solid tumors that haven’t responded to or cannot be treated with standard therapies. It aims to find a safe dose and see if the drug can help shrink or slow the growth of your cancer.
Adelaide, South AustraliaAges 18 years+ - NCT07503808RecruitingPhase 1
IDE034 for advanced solid tumors with B7-H3 or PTK7
This study tests a new drug called IDE034 for people with advanced solid tumors that have certain markers (B7-H3 and PTK7). The drug may help by targeting these markers on cancer cells, and the study checks if it is safe and effective.

Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05319730RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing new drugs, with or without pembrolizumab, for advanced esophageal cancer
This trial studies investigational cancer medicines, either alone or along with pembrolizumab, for people with advanced esophageal squamous cell cancer whose cancer has grown despite prior immune and platinum-based treatment. It may offer a new option after standard therapy has not worked.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT03734952Recruiting
Radiation after esophagus surgery for stage II–III cancer
This study looks at whether giving radiation after surgery (after chemo and radiation before surgery) can improve outcomes for people with squamous cell esophagus cancer in the chest. You may be considered if you are well enough for treatment and your cancer has not spread.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–65 - NCT07266480RecruitingPhase 2
Adalimumab after surgery for esophageal cancer
This trial tests whether adding adalimumab (a medicine that helps the immune system) after surgery can prevent esophageal cancer from coming back. It's for people who have already had their cancer completely removed by surgery.
Shijiazhuang, HebeiAges 18 years+ - NCT04807673RecruitingPhase 3
Pembrolizumab before surgery versus chemoradiation for esophageal cancer
This Phase 3 study compares two treatment plans before surgery for locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. It tests whether adding pembrolizumab (an immune therapy) to chemotherapy improves outcomes compared with standard chemoradiation.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07697859Recruiting
Immunotherapy with local treatment for limited spread esophageal cancer
This trial tests giving immunotherapy (PD-1 inhibitors) along with local treatments like radiation or surgery at different times for patients whose esophageal cancer has spread to only a few spots. The goal is to see the best timing for these combined treatments.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05392413Recruiting
Predicting who benefits from PD-1 antibody for esophageal cancer
This study uses an “immune indicator model” to help predict how well a PD-1 antibody (a cancer-fighting immune drug) works when combined with chemotherapy for stage IV esophageal squamous cell cancer. If you qualify, you receive the treatment and the researchers also look for immune-related signs that may explain who benefits most.
GuangzhouAges 18–75 - NCT05507411RecruitingPhase 2
Watch-and-wait after chemo-radiation plus immunotherapy for esophagus cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding an immunotherapy drug (camrelizumab) to standard chemo-radiation can help some people with operable esophagus cancer avoid immediate surgery, using a “watch and wait” approach. If it works, it may reduce the need for early surgery for carefully selected patients.
Hanzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT05733598RecruitingPhase 2
RP2 plus standard treatment for advanced liver or bile cancers
This Phase 2 trial studies whether RP2, added to standard second-line treatment, can improve outcomes for people with advanced liver cancer or bile duct/gallbladder cancer. It may help by training the immune system to better attack the cancer after the cancer has already grown despite prior treatment.
Beverly Hills, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06013111RecruitingPhase 1
CAR-T cell therapy for CEA-positive advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new treatment called Anti-CEA-CAR-T cells, which are specially modified immune cells that target a protein called CEA found on certain cancer cells. It is for people with advanced solid tumors, especially digestive system cancers, that have not responded to other treatments.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18–70 - NCT06190639RecruitingPhase 2
Sintilimab after surgery for node-positive esophageal cancer
This trial tests whether giving the immunotherapy drug Sintilimab after surgery can help prevent esophageal cancer from coming back. It is for people whose cancer had spread to lymph nodes and who have already had their tumor removed.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT06190782RecruitingPhase 3
Local therapy for limited metastatic esophageal cancer
This trial tests whether adding targeted radiation or other local treatments can help people with esophageal cancer that has spread to only a few spots (up to 4) after they've been treated with a PD-1 inhibitor. It aims to control the cancer better and improve outcomes.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT06272214RecruitingPhase 2
Adjuvant radiotherapy for esophageal cancer after immunotherapy
This trial tests if adding radiation therapy after surgery improves outcomes for people with esophageal squamous cell cancer who received immunotherapy and chemotherapy before surgery but did not achieve a complete response. It aims to see if this approach can lower the chance of the cancer coming back.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT07403136RecruitingPhase 2
Testing Becotatug Vedotin ± Immunotherapy for advanced esophageal cancer
This trial tests a new targeted drug (Becotatug Vedotin) given either alone or with an immunotherapy drug for people with advanced esophageal squamous cell cancer that has EGFR protein on their tumor cells. The goal is to see if this combination can help when standard treatments have stopped working.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT07457528RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo, radiation, and immune therapy before surgery for esophageal cancer
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy, radiation, and two targeted drugs (serplulimab and nimotuzumab) given before surgery for a certain type of esophageal cancer. It aims to see if this approach can safely improve outcomes.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT03422302Recruiting

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.
