Summary

This study tests whether adding propranolol (a beta-blocker used for heart conditions) to standard chemotherapy and immunotherapy can help people with advanced esophageal or stomach cancer that cannot be surgically removed. The drug may reduce stress hormones that can weaken the immune system. About 40 adults who have not yet been treated for their advanced cancer will participate.
