Tiraglolumab plus atezolizumab with chemoradiation for anal cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding tiraglolumab and atezolizumab to standard chemoradiation can improve outcomes for people with localized anal canal squamous cell cancer that has not spread to distant organs. It may help the immune system work better alongside treatment to control the cancer.
Palma de Mallorca, Balearic IslandsAges 18 years+ - NCT05214222RecruitingPhase 2
New treatment for advanced esophageal cancer after past therapy
This Phase 2 trial tests penpulimab plus chemotherapy (with or without an added targeted pill called anlotinib) in people with advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. It aims to slow tumor growth and improve outcomes, especially for patients who can’t have curative surgery or radiation.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for squamous cell carcinoma?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 876 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.
