Active clinical trials for "Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma"

A phase 1/2 open-label multicenter study will be performed with an initial dose escalation part to determine the MTD and/or the RP2D of MCLA-129 as monotherapy in patients with NSCLC, HNSCC, GC/GEJ, ESCC, or other solid tumors and who have progressed after receiving prior therapy for advanced/metastatic disease.

The purpose of this trial is to evaluate efficacy and safety of pembrolizumab plus standard of care (SOC) chemotherapy with cisplatin and paclitaxel as neoadjuvant treatment in participants with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), and to explore treatment resistance mechanisms.

The current multicenter prospective phase II study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of preoperative FLOT therapy for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

This trial will look at a drug called SGN-B6A alone and with pembrolizumab, with or without chemotherapy, to find out whether it is safe for people who have solid tumors. It will study SGN-B6A to find out what its side effects are. A side effect is anything the drug does besides treating cancer. It will also study whether SGN-B6A works to treat solid tumors. The study will have four parts. Part A of the study will find out how much SGN-B6A should be given to participants. Part B will use the dose found in Part A to find out how safe SGN-B6A is and if it works to treat solid tumors. Part C of the study will find out how safe SGN-B6A is in combination with these other drugs. Part D will include people who have not received treatment. This part of the study will find out how safe SGN-B6A is in combination with these other drugs and if these combinations work to treat solid tumors. In Parts C and D, participants will receive SGN-B6A with either: Pembrolizumab or, Pembrolizumab and carboplatin, or Pembrolizumab and cisplatin.

Surgical resection is currently the major treatment for esophageal carcinoma while disease progression still occurred in most cases within 3 years. The rate of local recurrence and distant metastases could reach nearly 40% to 60%. The neoadjuvant chemotherapy could significantly improve resection rate and overall survival after surgery. Squamous cell carcinoma is the most common histology in Asia. JCOG9907 trial performed in Japan confirmed that compared to surgery plus adjuvant chemotherapy, the combination of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and surgery could further prolong overall survival. The regimen of cisplatin and fluorouracil is a classic effective option in combination therapy for esophageal carcinoma. Nanoparticle albumin-bound (nab)-paclitaxel is a novel taxane and has better efficacy in esophageal carcinoma treatment. We try to evaluate the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant chemotherapy with nab-paclitaxel plus cisplatin and capecitabine for locally advanced thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients.

This study is conducted to investigate whether modified chemoradiotherapy with elective nodal irradiation reduces the locoregional recurrence that cannot be completely resected by salvage endoscopic resection and preserve esophagus without compromising overall survival.

This trial is a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial. The sample size was 380. Patients with advanced or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma will be randomized to receive PD1 antibody combined with mXELIRI or mXELIRI regimens in a 1:1 ratio. The stratification factors include PS status (0 vs 1), PFS of first-line treatment (PFS < 3 months versus PFS ≥3 months) . Six cycles of chemotherapy are planned every 3 weeks, for a total of 18 weeks, after which the investigator can decide whether to provide capecitabine with or without PD1 antibody maintenance therapy. Efficacy assessments were performed every 6 weeks before disease progression during treatment. Survival status was followed every 3 months after disease progression.

Definitive chemoradiotherapy (CRT) is the standard treatment option for unresectable locally advanced esophageal cancer (EC). However, as high as more than 40% of EC patients experienced locoregional recurrence after concurrent CRT. Immunotherapy targeting the PD-1/PD-L1 checkpoints has demonstrated promising activity in advanced EC. Recently, the combination of immunotherapy with CRT has emerged as a promising strategy to improve clinical outcomes in EC. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the efficacy of tislelizumab (an anti-PD-1 antibody) plus induction chemotherapy followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy would achieve a ≥71% 1-year progression-free survival rate, surpassing the historical 56% rate (NCT02403531) in patients with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).

Investigators conduct the clinical trial to further explore the efficacy and safety of Fruquintinib combined with S-1 in treating recurrent or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma after the failure of conventional treatments.

China with high incidence of esophageal cancer, the number of new cases and deaths account for about 50% of the world every year. In the past few decades, surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and other treatments were continuously improved, however, the mortality of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients was not significantly decreased. For patients with locally advanced esophageal cancer, direct surgery is not effective. It is difficult to achieve radical resection by surgery merely, and even if many patients receive surgery, they may eventually have tumor recurrence and poor survival rate. Therefore, it is necessary to explore effective perioperative neoadjuvant treatment to reduce the risk of postoperative recurrence and improve the postoperative survival rate of patients. According to the reports, the expression of PD-L1 in esophageal cancer was about 41.4%. Therefore, PD-1/ PD-L1 immunocheckpoint inhibitor may become a new method for the treatment of esophageal cancer. Preliminary clinical results showed that immunotherapy combined with chemoradiotherapy provided a synergies antitumor effect. Multiple clinical results showed that serplulimab provided higher overall response rate for advanced esophageal cancer. However, in patients with locally advanced esophageal cancer, the efficacy of serplulimab combined with chemotherapy for sequential radical surgery is still unclear. The purpose of this study is to observe and evaluate the efficacy and safety of silulimab combined with chemotherapy in the neoadjuvant therapy of resectable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
