About this trial
This study is a single-arm, prospective, phase II trial for patients with metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) who received immunotherapy plus chemotherapy as the first-line treatment. The aim of the study is to determine if intervening with combined local therapy and immunotherapy and chemotherapy in patients with ESCC led to significant improvements in survival and disease control compared with historical data.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Age 18-80, had an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status score of 0-1;
Patients had unresectable or recurrent esophageal squamous cell carcinoma that precluded esophagectomy or definitive chemoradiation, or distant metastatic disease;
Patients had received no previous systemic therapy (patients who had progressed ≥6 months after [neo]adjuvant therapy or definitive chemoradiation were eligible);
Patients accepted at least one cycle of anti-PD-1 immunotherapy combined chemotherapy as 1st line treatment.
Disqualifiers

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
OS from start of 1st line treatment in metastatic ESCC
Median OS and OS rate at 12 months and 24 months will be analysed based on Kaplan-Meier method and presented along with its 95% confidence interval.
Secondary outcomes
PFS from start of 1st line treatment in metastatic ESCC
Median PFS and PFS rate at 6 months, 12months and 18 months will be analysed based on Kaplan-Meier method and presented along with its 95% confidence interval.
Disease control rate
the ratio of patients with the best therapeutic evaluation is CR, PR and SD
