Real-World study tracks Nivolumab's impact on advanced stomach and esophageal cancers
NCT ID NCT07663786
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how the immunotherapy drug nivolumab is used in routine care for adults with advanced cancers of the esophagus, gastroesophageal junction, or stomach. Researchers will analyze data from a Dutch cancer registry to see how long people live after starting nivolumab and what factors affect their outcomes. The goal is to understand how well the drug works outside of clinical trials, in everyday hospital settings.
