Sintilimab plus chemo and radiation for advanced esophageal cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a combination of an immunotherapy drug (sintilimab) plus chemotherapy followed by radiation therapy for advanced esophageal cancer that has spread. The goal is to see if this sequence can help shrink tumors and improve outcomes.

This trial studies whether adding an anti-PD-1 immunotherapy (with chemotherapy) together with radiation can help people with advanced esophageal squamous cell cancer. It’s for cases where surgery or standard definitive chemoradiation can’t be done, or the cancer has spread to distant sites.
This trial tests giving the immunotherapy drug sintilimab together with chemotherapy before and after surgery for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. It aims to see if this combination can help improve outcomes for patients whose tumors can be surgically removed.
This trial is testing whether giving a combination of an immunotherapy drug (sintilimab) with chemotherapy, followed by radiation plus more chemotherapy (concurrent chemoradiotherapy), can help people with advanced esophageal cancer that cannot be removed surgically. The goal is to see if this approach shrinks the tumor and improves outcomes.
This Phase 3 trial studies whether adding sintilimab (an immunotherapy medicine) after surgery improves outcomes for people with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. It compares sintilimab plus a chemo/RT plan versus the same chemo/RT plan without immunotherapy.
This trial tests a combination of immunotherapy (sintilimab) and chemotherapy given before surgery for esophageal cancer that can be surgically removed. The goal is to see if this approach helps shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
This trial tests whether giving the immunotherapy drug sintilimab together with standard chemotherapy and a growth factor injection before surgery can help people with a certain type of esophageal cancer (squamous cell carcinoma) that is still removable. The goal is to improve treatment outcomes before the operation.
