About this trial
This study is designed to assess the efficacy and safety of ifinatamab deruxtecan (I-DXd) in patients with unresectable advanced or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) who have experienced disease progression following treatment with a platinum-based systemic therapy and an immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) compared with investigator's choice of chemotherapy (ICC).
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Participants aged ≥18 years (follow local regulatory requirements if the legal age of consent for study participation is >18 years old).
Has histologically or cytologically documented unresectable locally advanced or metastatic ESCC according to American Joint Committee on Cancer 8th edition staging system on ESCC.
Has disease progression post a platinum-based chemotherapy and an ICI treatment per global or local guidelines, with a maximum of 1 prior line of systemic therapy for unresectable advanced or metastatic ESCC.
The participant must provide adequate baseline tumor samples with sufficient quantity and quality of tumor tissue content as defined in the Laboratory Manual.
Disqualifiers
Has received prior treatment with orlotamab, enoblituzumab, or other B7-H3 targeted agents, including I-DXd.
Has received any topoisomerase inhibitor.
Has histologically or cytologically confirmed adenosquamous carcinoma subtype.
Is ineligible to all the chemotherapies in the comparator arm due to prior progression or intolerance.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Overall Survival (OS)
Overall Survival (OS) is defined as the time interval from the date of randomization to the date of death due to any cause.
Secondary outcomes
Progression-free survival (PFS)
Progression-free survival (PFS) is defined as the time interval from the date of randomization to the first date of disease progression as determined by blinded independent central review (BICR) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.
Objective Response Rate (ORR)
Objective response rate (ORR) is defined as the proportion of subjects with a best overall response (BOR) of confirmed complete response (CR) or confirmed partial response (PR) as assessed by BICR per RECIST v1.1.
Duration of Response (DoR)
Duration of response (DoR) is defined as the time from the date of first documentation of objective tumor response (CR or PR), which is subsequently confirmed by BICR assessment, to the first documentation of objective tumor progression (confirmed by BICR) or to death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.
Disease Control Rate (DCR)
Disease control rate (DCR) is defined as the proportion of participants with a BOR of confirmed CR, confirmed PR, or stable disease (SD) according to RECIST v1.1 and will be determined by BICR assessment review of tumor scans.
