Study Summary

This trial tests a combo of adavosertib and radiation to treat esophageal/gastroesophageal cancer with no available treatment. It may stop growth of tumor cells & radiation kills them to shrink tumors.

Who is the study for?
Adults with inoperable esophageal or gastroesophageal junction cancer, including squamous cell or adenocarcinoma, that is not eligible for definitive chemoradiation. Participants must have proper liver and kidney function, no severe heart conditions, be able to swallow capsules, and have a life expectancy over 3 months. Pregnant women are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests the safety and optimal dosage of Adavosertib combined with radiation therapy on patients with incurable esophageal or gastroesophageal junction cancers. The goal is to see if this combination is more effective than radiation alone in stopping tumor growth.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include issues related to organ functions influenced by enzymes targeted by Adavosertib, as well as typical risks associated with radiation therapy such as skin irritation and fatigue. Specific side effect profiles will be monitored closely.
