First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Apr 28, 2026 · Updated 20 times

Summary

This phase 3 trial tests whether adding two drugs—toripalimab (an immunotherapy) and capecitabine (a chemotherapy pill)—after standard chemoradiation can help prevent esophageal cancer from coming back. About 242 adults with advanced esophageal cancer that hasn't spread after initial treatment will take part. The goal is to see if this maintenance therapy improves how long patients live without their cancer returning.
