Compares treatment options for Advanced Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Official title A Study of YL201 Versus Investigator's Choice of Chemotherapy in Participants With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma After Failure of First-Line Therapy

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07487896

What this study is testing

What is YL201?

YL201 is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
