Active clinical trials for "Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma"

This is an open-label, single arm, multi-center study, assessing efficacy and safety of BI-754091 in combination with afatinib as treatment in patients with advanced or metastatic ESCC refractory to at least 1 line of systemic treatment (including chemotherapy or radiation therapy).

The incidence and mortality of esophageal cancer are at the forefront in China, among which the elderly patients account for a large proportion. Concurrent chemoradiotherapy is the standard treatment for inoperable locally advanced esophageal cancer. Most elderly patients with esophageal cancer cannot tolerate concurrent chemotherapy because of complications and other reasons. Immunotherapy has definite efficacy and low toxicity in advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, and the results combined with radiotherapy have also been preliminarily reported. Therefore, it is necessary to further explore the efficacy and safety of radiotherapy combined with immunotherapy in elderly patients with esophageal cancer.

The purpose of this study is to observe and evaluate the efficacy and safety of SHR-1210 for adjuvant treatment of resectable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma

This is a randomized, open, two arm phase II clinical study. 40 patients are included in the exploratory study. The dominant population with higher biomarker positive / IO score was identified to provide the basis for the later phase III study. The subjects were randomly divided into the group of camrelizumab combined with paclitaxel and cisplatin or the group of camrelizumab combined with albumin bound paclitaxel and cisplatin according to the ratio of 1:1. The treatment cycle was every 3 weeks. The curative effect was evaluated when the treatment cycle was 2, and the resection of esophageal cancer was considered after 3 cycles. Postoperative adjuvant therapy was based on the patient's condition and surgical results; For patients with R0 resection, postoperative adjuvant treatment is not recommended. For patients with R1 / R2 resection, multi-disciplinary joint discussion and consultation are recommended to propose individualized comprehensive treatment.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety and 2-year local control rate for extensive clinical target volumes in postoperative radiotherapy concurrent with chemotherapy for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

The purpose of this study is to determine which regimen is better for esophageal squamous carcinoma in concurrent chemoradiation(CCRT),paclitaxel or S1 plus cisplatin.

This clinical study is designed as a phase 3,multicenter, double-blind, randomized, controlled study,to evaluate the efficacy and safety of nimotuzumab combined with paclitaxel+cisplatin（TP) compared with TP as first-line treatment for the metastatic esophageal squamous carcinoma.

A two-arm (two cycles' versus four cycles' capecitabine combined oxaliplatin concurrent radiotherapy) randomised Phase III clinical trial was started in Oct. 2015. Definitive chemoradiotherapy is the standard regimen in Western countries for patients with esophageal cancer who can't receive surgery or reject surgery. But in China because of its severer toxic reaction, most of patients had to discontinue treatment at the halfway way. Thus, the chemotherapy regimen of capecitabine combined oxaliplatin are widely used in clinical due to its characristic of low toxic reaction. The purpose of this study is to confirm the efficacy and safety of the different cycles(two cycles and four cycles ) of Capecitabine-oxaliplatin in Chinese esophageal squamous carcinoma radical concurrent chemoradiotherapy. A total of 60 patients will be accrued from China within 2 years. The primary endpoint is overall survival and the secondary endpoints include progression-free survival, response rate, pathologic complete response rate and adverse events.

A two-arm Phase III trial was started in Oct. 2014. Definitive chemoradiotherapy with cisplatin plus 5-fluorouracil is the standard in Western countries in esophagus cancer. But in China because of its toxic reaction, most of patients stop the halfway. The purpose of this study is to confirm the difference of 2 and 4 cycles of cisplatin plus 5-fluorouracil in the definitive chemoradiotherapy for esophagus squamous cell carcinoma. A total of 210 patients will be accrued from China within 2 years. The primary endpoint is overall survival and the secondary endpoints include progression-free survival, response rate, pathologic complete response rate and adverse events.

The therapy of photofrin PDT was effective in improving life quality of patients with advanced esophageal and/or gastric cardiac cancer and the time optimizing for employing laser irradiation was of great importance.The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy and adverse effects of Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) on esophageal and/or gastric cardiac cancer during different time after inject photofrin.
