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.

Study of LB-LR1109 alone and with atezolizumab for cancer
This trial tests a new drug called LB-LR1109, alone or with atezolizumab, for adults with certain advanced solid tumors, including non-small cell lung cancer. It's for people whose cancer has worsened after standard treatments or who cannot have those treatments.
Fairfax, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06329869RecruitingPhase 2
A study of sacituzumab govitecan for advanced esophageal cancer
This trial tests a drug called sacituzumab govitecan for people with advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma that has already been treated with chemotherapy and immunotherapy. The drug targets a protein called Trop-2 on cancer cells to try to stop tumor growth.
TaipeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06323460RecruitingPhase 2
Less Radiation for HPV Throat Cancer Guided by a Blood Test
This study tests a way to use less radiation for HPV-related throat cancer. Doctors will adjust your treatment based on a simple blood test that tracks cancer DNA, so you may get only the treatment you need.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for squamous cell carcinoma?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 872 recruiting 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 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 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.
