Active clinical trials for "Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma"

RATIONALE: Studying samples of tumor tissue in the laboratory from patients with cancer may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer. It may also help doctors predict how patients will respond to treatment. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying tissue samples in predicting how well chemotherapy and radiation therapy will kill cancer cells in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus.

This study evaluated the effectiveness and safety of sintilimab combined with cCRT in patients with locally advanced ESCC.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of concurrent chemoradiotherapy combined with Itraconazole in patients with locally adcvanced esophageal squamous cancer

Single arm phase II trial designed to assess the efficacy of durvalumab treatment in terms of 6-month progression-free survival. We will include 22 patients who will receive 1500 mg durvalumab (MEDI4736) via IV infusion Q4W <<for up to a maximum of 12 months (up to 13 doses/cycles) with the last administration on week 48>> or <<until confirmed disease progression>> unless there is unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or another discontinuation criterion is met. If a patient's weight falls to 30 kg or below for 1 week or longer ( ≥ 7 days) durvalumab will be permanently discontinued.

This is a phase 2 trial investigating the effect and safety of afatinib in previously treated recurrent or metastasic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma with EGFR overexpression or EGFR amplification.

The purpose of this study is to observe and evaluate the efficacy and safety of anlotinib combined with sindilimab as second-line treatment for advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). In addition, we also explored the possible mechanism of anlotinib combined with sindilimab in order to screen out biomarkers that can predict the efficacy of the combination therapy.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the progression-free survival (PFS) of Chemotherapy combined with SHR-1316 in patients with advanced esophageal squamous cell cancer.

Patients with previously untreated advanced or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma are recruited to this prospective non-randomized study comprising two separate cohorts. Patients will receive SHR-1210, a novel anti-PD-1 antibody, with apatinib and either irinotecan or paclitaxel liposome plus nedaplatin. The primary endpoint is to determine the objective response rate (ORR) of patients in both cohorts. The regimen(s) of promising efficacy will be further verified in subsequent randomized studies to define the optimal combination of immunotherapy, anti-angiogenesis and chemotherapy in advanced esophageal cancer patients.

The purpose of this study is to test the the efficacy and safety of sintilimab in combination with chemoradiation before surgery for esophageal cancer.

Metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinomas have poor prognosis and majority of patients resistant to chemotherapy in China. In the investigators phase II clinical trial proceeded before, the combination of paclitaxel with cisplatin showed good tolerance and efficacy to esophageal squamous cell carcinomas. Radiotherapy has been indicated as a definitive treatment for unresectable or medically inoperable tumors in ESCC patients. However, not only the combination with chemotherapy, but also the boundaries of the clinical target volume (CTV) are not internationally defined. The investigators then initiated a prospective phase II clinical trial with sequential paclitaxel/cisplatin and radiotherapy as the 1st line treatment in metastatic esophageal carcinoma to observe the efficacy and safety of the combination.
