Scientists attack tough esophageal cancer with powerful drug trio before surgery

NCT ID NCT04229459

Summary

This study is testing whether adding two immunotherapy drugs (nivolumab and cetuximab) to standard chemotherapy and radiation before surgery helps people with a specific type of advanced esophageal cancer. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink or eliminate the tumor more effectively before it is surgically removed. The trial is for adults with newly diagnosed cancer who have not had any prior treatment for it.
