About this trial
Penpulimab plus chemotherapy with or without Anlotinib as first-line therapy for patients with advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (Answer): A randomized two-arm clinical study.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Patients with stage III-IV esophageal squamous cell carcinoma who are not candidates for curative treatment (excluding adenosquamous carcinoma mixed type);
Those who have not received systemic treatment in the past, or (new) adjuvant treatment/radical surgery/radical radiotherapy and chemotherapy have relapsed for more than 6 months; Note: Including patients with advanced or recurring non-target lesions who have progressed again after radiotherapy alone. For local lesions (non-target lesions), the time from the end of palliative treatment to the enrollment time> 2 weeks;
According to the RECIST 1.1 version of the curative effect evaluation standard for solid tumors, there is at least one measurable lesion; the measurable lesion should not have received local treatment such as radiotherapy (the lesion located in the previous radiotherapy area, if it is confirmed that it has progressed, and meets RECIST1.1 Standard, target lesions can also be selected);
Patients between 18 and 75 years old;
Disqualifiers
It is known that esophageal squamous cell carcinoma tends to be completely obstructed under endoscopy and requires interventional treatment to relieve the obstruction;
Patients with ulcerative esophageal squamous cell carcinoma;
Patients who have a higher risk of bleeding or perforation due to the tumor's obvious invasion of the adjacent organs (aorta or trachea) of the esophageal lesion, or patients who have formed a fistula;
Patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma whose esophageal lesions have not been reduced after radiotherapy without surgical resection of the primary lesion;

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Objective Response Rate (ORR)
ORR was defined as the percentage of participants who have a Complete Response (CR: Disappearance of all target lesions) or a Partial Response (PR: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions) per RECIST 1.1
Secondary outcomes
Disease Control Rate (DCR)
DCR was defined as the percentage of participants who have a Complete Response (CR: Disappearance of all target lesions) or a Partial Response (PR: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions) or a Stable Response per RECIST 1.1
Progression Free Survival (PFS) include PFS1,PFS2
PFS was defined as the time from first day of study treatment to the first documented PD or death due to any cause during the specific treatment period, whichever occurred first
Overall Survival (OS)
OS was defined as the time from first day of study treatment to death due to any cause. Participants without documented death at the time of the final analysis were censored at the date of the last follow-up
Safety: AE
Safety was defined as the Number of Participants With an Adverse Event
