NCT ID NCT07688291

First seen Jul 07, 2026 · Last updated Jul 08, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This phase 2 trial tests a single drug called PD-1/IL-2α-bias bispecific antibody fusion protein in people with advanced or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma whose cancer worsened after prior immunotherapy and chemotherapy. The drug is designed to boost the immune system's ability to attack cancer cells. The study will measure how many patients respond, how long they live, and what side effects occur.
