-
Becotatug Vedotin with Immunotherapy and Radiotherapy in ESCC after first line
This trial tests whether adding becotatug vedotin to an immune checkpoint inhibitor and targeted radiotherapy helps people with advanced ESCC after prior treatment.
-
Lymphatic-sparing short-course radiotherapy with chemo-immunotherapy before surgery for locally advanced ESCC
This study tests whether a short course of targeted radiotherapy combined with camrelizumab and nab-paclitaxel/carboplatin can shrink locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma enough for surgical removal.
-
Anlotinib plus Bemocizumab as neoadjuvant therapy for ESCC
This trial tests whether giving anlotinib with bemocizumab before surgery can improve how completely the tumor is removed and prevent recurrence in people with resectable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
-
Blood test combining cell-free and exosomal microRNAs for early detection of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma
This project will try a blood test that measures cell-free and exosomal microRNAs to find early esophageal squamous cell carcinoma in adults using plasma or serum samples.
-
NRM-823 for advanced or metastatic refractory solid tumors
This trial tests whether NRM-823 is safe and can help people with advanced or metastatic head and neck, esophageal, gastric, or related cancers.
-
ALX2004 for advanced or metastatic EGFR-expressing solid tumors
This trial will test ALX2004, an antibody-drug conjugate that targets EGFR, in people with advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung, head and neck, esophageal, or colorectal cancer to see if it is safe and shows tumor activity.
-
Neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy and chemoradiotherapy before surgery for advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma
This study tests whether giving the immune drug tislelizumab with chemotherapy before and then combining chemoradiotherapy, followed by surgery, helps people with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
-
Using trilaciclib to prevent bone marrow suppression in esophageal cancer treatment
This study is testing if giving trilaciclib before chemotherapy can help prevent bone marrow problems in people with esophageal cancer.
-
AK112 combined with chemotherapy for advanced esophageal cancer
This study is testing if a new drug called AK112, when combined with chemotherapy, can help people with advanced esophageal cancer who haven't had treatment before.
-
First-in-human use of JAB-8263 in adults with advanced solid and blood cancers
This trial will try JAB-8263, a BET inhibitor pill, in adults with advanced solid tumors or blood cancers that have progressed after standard treatments.
NIH-funded research (1)
Early-stage science funded by the US National Institutes of Health. Most of these projects don't enroll patients, but they show what is being worked on.
-
A new test for early detection of esophageal cancer using a swallowable capsule.
This study is working on a simple and affordable test that uses a swallowable sponge to check for early signs of esophageal cancer, making it easier for people in the U.S. and Uganda to get diagnosed and treated sooner.
