New drug cocktail aims to shrink esophageal tumors before surgery
NCT ID NCT07505186
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a combination of three drugs (camrelizumab, chemotherapy, and ivarmacitinib) given before surgery can help people with a type of esophageal cancer. The goal is to see if the treatment can eliminate or shrink the tumor enough to improve surgical outcomes. About 45 adults with stage II to IVA esophageal squamous cell carcinoma will take part.
