Where the trials are

Listed sites in each state and territory. Choose one to show only the trials with a site there, and choose it again to show them all.

3 listed sites on this page do not say which state they are in, so the counts above are lower than the real number of sites in some states. The trials themselves are all listed below.

Trials for Oesophageal Cancer

23 of 23 trials shown.

This Australian count is likely to be on the low side. It counts the trials this site files under this condition; the registry’s own search is broader and also returns closely related conditions, some of which have their own page here. If you are searching widely, check the registry as well — every trial below links to its own record.

Trials not shown here

Some Australian trials are registered only on the Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry and are not shown here. Search them at Australian Clinical Trials.

Trials overseas

722 trials for this condition are open to new participants outside Australia, as ClinicalTrials.gov listed them on 11 October 2026. Voxsanity does not publish a page for any of them; the searches below reach them at the registry.

These overseas counts are likely too high. They come from the registry’s own search, which expands a condition name to related conditions, so some of the trials counted are for a different disease in the same family.

About Oesophageal Cancer

The text below is reproduced exactly as its source published it. It has not been edited, shortened or rewritten.

The esophagus is a hollow tube that carries food and liquids from your throat to your stomach. Early esophageal cancer usually does not cause symptoms. Later, you may have symptoms such as: - Painful or difficult swallowing - Weight loss - A hoarse voice or cough that doesn't go away You're at greater risk for getting esophageal cancer if you smoke, drink heavily, or have acid reflux. Your risk also goes up as you age Your doctor uses imaging tests and a biopsy to diagnose esophageal cancer. Treatments include surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. You might also need nutritional support, since the cancer or treatment may make it hard to swallow. NIH: National Cancer Institute

Voxsanity reformats data from public registries into this layout. It does not edit, interpret or add to what the registry published.

Not medical advice.

Individual trial records are refreshed on a rolling basis rather than all at once, so a record may be up to several weeks old. Each trial page and trial card shows the date its own record was last synced. Where a record has lagged, its status, sites and enrolment can differ from the current registry state in either direction, so check the registry link on the trial page before acting on them.
