Esophageal cancer

This trial is testing whether an experimental drug called NC410, when combined with the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab, can safely and effectively treat people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard immunotherapy or that are unlikely to respond. The stud…

This study tested several immunotherapy-based drug combinations in 214 people with advanced stomach, gastroesophageal junction, or esophageal cancer that could not be removed by surgery or had spread. Participants received either standard chemotherapy or chemotherapy plus the imm…

This study tested whether giving patients their own immune cells (called lymphocytes) after chemotherapy and radiation could help their immune system recover faster. It included 19 adults with lung or esophageal cancer. The treatment was designed to reduce a common side effect of…

This study tested a combination of two drugs, donafenib and KN046, in people with advanced gastrointestinal cancers that had not responded to standard treatments. The goal was to check safety and see if the drugs could shrink tumors. The trial was stopped early, and only 15 peopl…

This early-stage trial tested an experimental drug called AUR106 in 21 adults with advanced solid tumors (lung, stomach, bladder, kidney, colon, or esophageal cancer) that had come back or spread. The main goals were to check safety, find the right dose, and see how the drug move…

This early-stage study tested a new drug called PF-08046031 in 11 adults with advanced melanoma or other solid tumors that had spread or had no standard treatment options. The main goal was to check the drug's safety and side effects. The trial was terminated early, so its findin…

This early-phase study tested a new treatment called LCAR-G08, which uses a patient's own immune cells (T-cells) that are modified in a lab to recognize and attack cancer cells in the gut. The study included 17 adults with advanced colorectal, stomach, pancreatic, or small bowel …

This early-phase study tested a new drug called PRT3789 combined with the immunotherapy pembrolizumab (Keytruda) in people with advanced solid tumors that have a SMARCA4 gene mutation. The goal was to see if the combination was safe and could shrink tumors. However, the study was…

This early-phase trial tested an experimental drug called TAK-500, alone or with the immunotherapy pembrolizumab, in 61 adults with advanced solid tumors like pancreatic, liver, and lung cancer. The main goals were to check safety and see if the drug could shrink tumors. The stud…

This study tested a drug called niraparib in 22 adults with advanced solid tumors (like breast, lung, or pancreatic cancer) that have a specific genetic change called a PALB2 mutation. The goal was to see if the drug could shrink tumors or slow cancer growth. The study was stoppe…

This early-phase trial tested a new drug called INCB062079 in 25 people with advanced liver cancer and other solid tumors. The main goal was to check safety and find the best dose. The study was terminated early, so results are limited.

This trial compared a newer, robotic-assisted minimally invasive surgery (RAMIE) to the standard open surgery for esophageal cancer. The goal was to see if it's possible to run a larger study comparing the two approaches. The study enrolled 24 adults with stage I-III esophageal c…

This study tests two AI models that analyze endoscopy and CT images to diagnose esophageal cancer and predict how deep the tumor has grown. The goal is to help doctors decide if a patient can be treated with a less invasive endoscopic procedure or needs more aggressive therapy. T…

This study is testing whether a special PET scan called 18F-FSPG can help doctors see how well chemotherapy and radiation are working in people with esophageal cancer. Nine adults with untreated, locally advanced esophageal cancer will get the scan before and during treatment. Th…

This study investigates how chest wall movement and lung function change in people who had open surgery for esophageal cancer more than a year ago, compared to healthy volunteers. Researchers use a 3D motion capture system and wearable sensors to track chest movement during breat…

This study aimed to see if delaying feeding for a few days after esophageal cancer surgery helps protect muscle mass and improve recovery. It included 239 adults with esophageal cancer who were scheduled for surgery. The study was stopped early, so results are limited.

This study looked at genetic mutations in tumors from 565 people with advanced gastrointestinal cancers, including liver, bile duct, gallbladder, pancreas, esophagus, and stomach cancers. The goal was to see how often these mutations could be targeted by existing drugs and to tra…
