Active clinical trials for "Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma"

This is a single-arm，open-label study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tislelizumab plus chemotherapy for conversion therapy of patients with locally nonresectable ESCC.

Retrospective studies suggested that the addition of thoracic concurrent chemoradiotherapy to systemic chemotherapy improved the survival and quality of life (QOL) of patients with metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). However, no prospective study had been conducted to confirm these findings. Recently, immunotherapy targeting the PD-1/PD-L1 checkpoints combined with chemotherapy had been proved to significantly prolong the survival of those patients compared with chemotherapy alone. Moreover, anti-PD-1 combined with radiotherapy exerts a synergistic anti-tumor effect, which may further improve the combination efficacy. This randomized, phase II study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the chemotherapy and anti-PD-1 combined with concurrent chemoradiotherapy to primary tumor versus systemic therapy alone in stage IVB ESCC. Of note, non-regional lymph node metastasis only was the stratification factor in the random assignment.

This is a single institution and single-arm phase I/II study to assess the feasibility and efficacy of tislelizumab plus chemoradiation for conversion therapy of patients with locally nonresectable ESCC.

This is a Phase 1, open-label, dose escalation and expansion study of MT-8421 (an Engineered Toxin Body (ETB)) as monotherapy and in combination with nivolumab in patients with selected advanced solid cancer types. MT-8421 is an investigational drug that specifically targets and depletes cytotoxic T-lymphocytes-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4) expressing cells in an effort to directly dismantle the tumor microenvironment for the treatment of patients with advanced solid tumors.

The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of pembrolizumab combined with albumin paclitaxel and cisplatin versus albumin paclitaxel and cisplatin or 5-fluorouracil and cisplatin in neoadjuvant therapy for stage II-IVa resectable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. The study plans to enroll 114 eligible patients who will be randomly assigned in a 1:1:1 ratio to receive 3 cycles of neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy (pembrolizumab plus albumin paclitaxel and cisplatin;Pembrolizumab plus 5-fluorouracil and cisplatin) or chemotherapy alone (5-fluorouracil and cisplatin), followed by surgery 3 weeks later, followed by 16 cycles of adjuvant immunotherapy (pembrolizumab).Patients were followed up for efficacy and safety during treatment.Tumor evaluation will be performed at screening, after neoadjuvant therapy, before surgery, and after adjuvant therapy until objective disease progression is confirmed.

This study aimed to evaluate the safety and feasibility of neoadjuvant tislelizumab combined with chemoradiotherapy in patients with resectable esophageal squamous cell cancer. The tumor microenvironment and circulating immunological biomarkers in these patients were further evaluated to explore the factors affecting the efficacy of neoadjuvant therapy for esophageal cancer. This study will provide valuable information for further prospective clinical trials of neoadjuvant anti-PD-1 and other immunotherapy in esophageal cancer patients.

A multi-center prospective randomized controlled study was conducted to compare the effects of adjuvant chemotherapy, chemoradiotherapy and surgery alone for the patients with esophageal cancer.

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of postoperative concurrent chemoradiotherapy versus radiotherapy alone for patients with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

The primary objective is to compare surgery with postoperative radiotherapy (PORT) versus surgery, in terms of the overall survival time (OS) in Stage II or III squamous cell esophageal carcinoma with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy(nCRT).

This clinical trial has two stages: phase II and phase III. Eligible patients will be randomized 1:1 to the two arms: paclitaxel plus cisplatin and cisplatin plus 5-fluorouracil. The phase II stage will enroll 128 patients, 64 patients for each arm. The endpoint of the phase II stage is complete pathological response (pCR). If the endpoint, i.e., the significant improvement of pCR rate, is met, the clinical trial will proceed to the phase III stage, in which 120 more patients will be enrolled. The estimated enrollment time is four years with 3 more years of follow-up after completing enrollment. The primary endpoint of the clinical trial is overall survival, and the secondary endpoints include clinical response, disease free survival, operation rate, complete resection rate, tumor regression rate, hospital stay days after surgery, safety and toxicity, and quality of life.
