Esophageal adenocarcinoma

Researchers are testing whether adding an experimental drug called ONO-4578 to nivolumab and chemotherapy helps people with advanced or metastatic gastric cancer, esophagogastric junction cancer, or esophageal adenocarcinoma. The trial enrolls about 600 adults whose tumors are HE…

This study tests whether giving additional chemotherapy after the usual chemoradiation can better control esophageal cancer and reduce the need for surgery. About 60 adults with stage II to IVA esophageal adenocarcinoma will receive chemoradiation followed by more chemotherapy. T…

This study tests a new biologic drug called XYA02 in 190 adults with advanced solid tumors (including lung, ovarian, and pancreatic cancers) that have not responded to standard treatments. The main goals are to check safety, find the best dose, and see if the drug can shrink tumo…

This study tests whether injecting a virus called RP2 directly into stomach and esophageal tumors, combined with standard FLOT chemotherapy, is safe and works better than chemotherapy alone before surgery. About 34 people with stage II or higher non-metastatic gastroesophageal ca…

This early-phase trial tests whether adding the experimental drug futibatinib to standard chemotherapy (paclitaxel) and an antibody (ramucirumab) is safe for people with advanced stomach, gastroesophageal junction, or esophageal cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. The study…

This phase 2 trial tests whether a combination of two immunotherapy drugs (Iparomlimab and Tuvonralimab) plus chemoradiotherapy can help people with locally advanced esophageal cancer whose initial chemo-immunotherapy did not work. About 40 participants will receive the treatment…

This study tests giving a combination of chemotherapy (FLOT) and an immunotherapy drug (durvalumab) before surgery, followed by more durvalumab after surgery, for people with stomach or esophageal cancer that can be removed. The goal is to see if this approach leads to a complete…

This phase 3 trial will compare two surgical techniques for esophageal cancer: totally minimally invasive esophagectomy (TMIE) using only keyhole incisions, versus a hybrid approach that combines keyhole and open chest surgery. The study aims to see if TMIE reduces severe complic…

This study tests the drug Enhertu in 43 people with newly diagnosed HER2-positive stomach, esophageal, or gastroesophageal junction cancer that has spread. Participants have a lower physical ability (ECOG 2) and will receive Enhertu by IV every 3 weeks. The main goal is to see ho…

This phase II trial tests whether a single low dose of radiation to all visible tumors can help immunotherapy work again in people with advanced esophageal cancer that has stopped responding to standard treatment. Thirty-two adults will receive the radiation and continue their or…

This study will test whether a combination of an AI-powered risk tool, a simple 'sponge on a string' test, and nurse navigation can improve screening for Barrett's esophagus and esophageal cancer. Over 1,000 adults at higher risk will be enrolled. The goal is to see if these less…

This study tests whether a fluorescent tracer called WGA-800CW can make precancerous or cancerous cells in Barrett's esophagus glow during endoscopy. The tracer is sprayed onto the esophagus, and special cameras detect the glow. The goal is to find the best dose and see if this m…

This study tests a new breath test to detect cancers of the stomach and esophagus. Participants provide a breath sample before and after drinking a special liquid. The test looks for chemicals in the breath that may signal cancer. The goal is to see if the drink makes these chemi…

This study tests whether a personalized, supervised exercise program done at home can improve physical function in people who have finished treatment for gastroesophageal cancer. About 20 survivors will receive tailored aerobic and resistance exercises via video calls. The goal i…

This study tests whether using a laryngeal mask instead of a breathing tube during esophageal cancer surgery can reduce complications and speed up recovery. About 500 adults with resectable esophageal cancer will be randomly assigned to one of two anesthesia methods. The goal is …

This study will follow 72 adults with early-stage gastroesophageal cancer to see how their physical function changes during chemotherapy. Participants will have their physical abilities measured at several points over six months. The goal is to understand which patients are at ri…

This study tests whether a personalized blood test (Signatera) can identify gastric cancer patients who, after surgery, have no detectable cancer DNA and can safely receive a milder immunotherapy (durvalumab) instead of standard chemotherapy. About 1000 adults with stage II-IVa g…

This study looks at whether sharing genetic risk information with Barrett's esophagus patients can improve their quality of life and reduce cancer worry. Researchers will collect tissue samples and use genetic analysis to create risk profiles. Half of the 266 participants will le…

This study will follow 750 adults in France who undergo endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for early esophageal cancer or precancerous Barrett's esophagus. Researchers will track how well the procedure removes the cancer, how often it comes back, and whether additional treatm…
