Immunotherapy plus chemo before endoscopic resection for esophageal cancer
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a treatment plan that combines immunotherapy with chemotherapy before possible endoscopic surgery. It is for people with a specific type of esophageal cancer that has not been treated before and is either potentially removable or not suitable for standard surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (a specific type of esophageal cancer) confirmed by biopsy.
- Your tumor is 5 cm or smaller and involves less than two-thirds of the inner circumference of your esophagus.
- You have not received any prior cancer treatment (surgery, chemo, radiation, or immunotherapy) for this cancer.
- You do not have an active autoimmune disease or take high-dose steroids or other immune-suppressing drugs.
- You are not pregnant and, if of childbearing age, agree to use effective contraception during the study.

This trial tests whether adding two immunotherapy drugs to standard chemotherapy and radiation before surgery can help shrink esophageal cancer and improve outcomes. It is for people with a certain type of esophageal cancer that can be removed with surgery.
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.
This trial tests a new combination of short-course radiation, an immunotherapy drug (tislelizumab), and chemotherapy before surgery for esophageal cancer. It aims to shrink tumors and improve surgical outcomes.
This trial tests whether adding a new immunotherapy drug (adebrelimab) to standard chemotherapy and radiation improves outcomes for patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma before surgery. The goal is to shrink the tumor and improve survival.
This trial tests a new combination of immunotherapy (toripalimab) with two chemotherapy drugs before surgery for esophageal cancer, compared to a standard chemo regimen. The goal is to see if the new combination improves outcomes for patients with resectable tumors.
This study tests whether giving additional immunotherapy after esophageal cancer surgery can help prevent the cancer from coming back. If you've already had chemotherapy and immunotherapy before surgery, this trial may offer a way to continue that benefit after your operation.
