First seen Feb 21, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 13 times

Summary

This study tests a new drug called vebrekotuzumab for people with advanced esophageal cancer that no longer responds to initial treatment. The drug is designed to deliver a powerful cancer-killing agent directly to tumor cells, aiming to slow or shrink the cancer. About 104 participants will receive the drug alone or with an immunotherapy. The main goal is to see if the drug can help patients live longer without their cancer growing.
