Active clinical trials for "Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma"

This is an open-label, randomized, controlled trial. At the end of a 28-day screening period, all eligible subjects will be randomly assigned into treatment Arm A or B in a 1:1 ratio. Subjects in Arm A will receive a maximum of 6 cycles of chemotherapy (cisplatin plus paclitaxel) and cetuximab weekly in the absence of progressive disease (PD), as assessed by the Investigator, and unacceptable toxicity. After 6 cycles of treatment, subjects who derive clinical benefit will continue treatment with cetuximab as monotherapy until either PD or unacceptable toxicity. Subjects in Arm B will receive the same chemotherapy regimen as Arm A alone for a maximum of 6 cycles in the absence of PD and unacceptable toxicity.

The aim of this study is to explore whether endostar combined with IP as treatment could improve progression-free surial time (PFS) and to evaluate the safety of the chemotherapy regimens

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of apatinib plus concurrent neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

Esophageal cancer is a common malignant tumor in china, occupies the second place of malignant tumor morbidity and mortality, the overall 5-year survival rate less than 20%.

Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is one of the ten leading cancers in Taiwanese male. The prognosis is poor with a five-year overall survival rate of 10 to 30 %. Randomized clinical trials have demonstrated that trimodality therapy (TMT), consisted of neoadjuvant concurrent chemoradiation (CCRT) and radical esophagectomy, improves the overall survival for patients with locally advanced disease. Despite of the advancement, the outcome remained unsatisfactory with the median progression-free survival around 20 to 25 months and median overall survival around 30 months. It is know that the most important prognostic factor is whether a pathological complete response can be achieved after neoadjuvant CCRT. However, the use of new generation chemotherapeutic agent taxanes and epidermal growth factor inhibitors (such as Cetuximab) failed to significantly improve prognosis comparing to the standard platinum-fluorouracil (PF) regimen. As a consequence, it is mandatory to develop new chemotherapeutic regimen for CCRT. In previous prospective studies, investigators used proximal ligation assay technology to identify serum VEGF-A in correlation with the pathological response and prognosis for patients receiving neoadjuvant CCRT plus radical esophagectomy for locally advanced ESCC. Other investigators also showed high VEGF expression correlating to poor outcome. Therefore, investigators generate the hypothesis that adding vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) monoclonal antibody, Bevacizumab, to standard neoadjuvant CCRT may improve outcome for patients with ESCC. Meanwhile, several prospective clinical studies have shown the feasibility, safety, and activity of adding Bevacizumab to chemotherapy, CCRT, or combined modality therapy including surgery, either in head and neck cancer, esophageal cancer, or esophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma. However, its efficacy should be further investigated in larger prospective trials and little is known about the activity and toxicity of Bevacizumab in ESCC due to small number of reported cases. In the present clinical trial, investigators plan to investigate whether incorporation of Bevacizumab into standard neoadjuvant PF-CCRT will improve treatment response and increase pathological complete response rate. Investigators will also evaluate associated biomarkers in relation to prognosis. By the present research, investigators expect to develop a new TMT regimen for this poor prognostic disease.

The purpose of this study is to observe and evaluate the efficacy and safety of anti-PD-1 antibody SHR-1210 combined with nimotuzumab as second-line therapy in patients with advanced cancerous esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

This is an open-label, phase II study of KN046 combined with chemotherapy and palliative radiotherapy in patients with recurrent or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma to evaluate the safety, efficacy and tolerance.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Camrelizumab or Camrelizumab plus chemotherapy in patients with untreated, advanced ESCC with PD-L1 CPS≥10 ,who have been achieved PR and CR after treated with Camrelizumab.

To evaluate the safety and tolerability of JAB-3068 administered in investigational regimens in adult participants with advanced solid tumors.

This study was designed to predict the toxicity and efficacy of Simultaneous Integrated Boost Intensity-modulated Chemoradiotherapy in Upper Thoracic I-IVA Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma.
