ESCC

A Phase 1, First in Human, Open-Label Multicenter Study to Evaluate ALX2004, an Antibody Drug Conjugate Targeting EGFR in Participants with Advanced or Metastatic Select Solid Tumors

This prospective, single-arm phase II study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of lymphatic-drainage-sparing short-course radiotherapy combined with camrelizumab and nab-paclitaxel/carboplatin as neoadjuvant treatment for patients with resectable, locally advanced thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Participants will receive three 3-week cycles of camrelizumab plus chemotherapy, with 25 Gy in 5 fractions of short-course radiotherapy delivered to the primary tumor and radiographically positive lymph nodes while elective lymphatic drainage regions are spared. Definitive McKeown esophagectomy is planned 4-6 weeks after completion of neoadjuvant therapy. The primary endpoint is pathologic complete response (ypT0N0).

This study is being done to find out of NRM-823 is safe and can treat participants with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors.

This study will evaluate whether two positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scans performed before treatment-68Ga-FAPI and 18F-FDG-can help predict how well patients with resectable, locally advanced thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma respond to immunotherapy plus chemotherapy given before surgery. The study hypothesis is that information from the two scans can identify patients who are unlikely to have a pathologic complete response (pCR), meaning no remaining cancer in the removed esophagus or lymph nodes, and that retlirafusp alfa may improve pathologic response compared with adebrelimab when each is combined with chemotherapy in these patients. This study has two stages and plans to enroll 92 adults aged 18 to 75 years with previously untreated, stage II to IVA, resectable thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. All participants will undergo both PET/CT scans before treatment.

This is a single-arm, multi-center phase II study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of sacituzumab tirumotecan (Sac-TMT/SKB264) combined with tagitanlimab (KL-A167) as 2nd line therapy for recurrent or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) or gastric/gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma (G/GEJA). A total of 75 participants are planned to be enrolled with 10 in the safety lead-in phase and 33 ESCC and 42 G/GEJA in expansion phase, seperately.

Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) remains a highly lethal cancer worldwide, largely due to late diagnosis. Current screening methods such as upper endoscopy are invasive, operator-dependent, and limited in their ability to detect early-stage lesions. To address this clinical need, the SYNERGY study seeks to develop a non-invasive, blood-based biomarker assay that integrates cell-free microRNAs (cf-miRNAs) and exosomal microRNAs (exo-miRNAs) to detect ESCC at an early and potentially curable stage. This multicenter translational study includes discovery, training, and validation phases using preoperative plasma or serum samples. By combining the tumor specificity of exosomal miRNAs with the systemic sensitivity of cf-miRNAs, SYNERGY aims to construct a robust diagnostic model with high sensitivity and specificity for early ESCC detection.

This study aims to explore the efficacy and safety of anlotinib combined with bemocizumab as neoadjuvant therapy for resectable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, with the goal of improving the pathological complete response (pCR) rate and margin-negative resection(R0) resection rate in patients undergoing esophageal cancer surgery, as well as enhancing disease-free survival (DFS) in postoperative patients. This will provide guidance and new options for the treatment of patients with locally advanced esophageal cancer.

This is a prospective, single-center, randomized phase 2 study of adebrelimab plus full-course neoadjuvant therapy in resectable locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Patients achieving clinical complete response (cCR) after neoadjuvant treatment will be randomized 1:1 to watchful waiting with 2 cycles consolidation chemo-Immunotherapy or standard surgery. Primary endpoint is 2-year DFS. Secondary endpoints include OS, pCR/MPR, R0 resection rate, safety, and quality of life.

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of QL1706 combined with nab-paclitaxel and cisplatin in first-line therapy for patients with advanced or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. QL1706 is a anti-PD-1 and anti-CTLA4 antibody.

Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is a common malignant tumor worldwide, with particularly high incidence in East Asian regions such as China, and is associated with poor patient prognosis. In recent years, immune checkpoint inhibitors (e.g., anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies) combined with chemotherapy have become the standard first-line treatment for advanced ESCC. Multiple randomized controlled trials have confirmed that this combination significantly improves patient survival compared to chemotherapy alone. However, a subset of patients still exhibit poor response or develop resistance to the immunotherapy-chemotherapy regimen, necessitating the exploration of novel combination strategies to further enhance efficacy. The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is frequently overexpressed in ESCC and is associated with tumor proliferation, metastasis, and poor prognosis, making it an important therapeutic target. Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) targeting EGFR achieve precise tumor killing by conjugating an anti-EGFR antibody to a potent cytotoxic payload. Preclinical studies have demonstrated significant antitumor activity of EGFR ADCs in ESCC models. Mechanistically, anti-EGFR therapy and immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy may exert synergistic effects through several avenues: enhancing tumor antigen presentation, remodeling the tumor microenvironment, and modulating PD-L1 expression. Therefore, this triple combination strategy holds promise for overcoming the limitations of monotherapies and providing a new treatment option for patients with ESCC.

This study is a single-arm, exploratory clinical trial aimed at evaluating the efficacy and safety of SHR-1701 in combination with liposomal irinotecan (II) in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma who have received prior immunotherapy. Eligible patients with esophageal cancer will be treated with SHR-1701 in combination with liposomal irinotecan (II).

Major objectives to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Iparomlimab and Tuvonralimab Injection (QL1706,an Anti-PD-1/CTLA-4 Combined Antibody) combined with Nab-Paclitaxel in neoadjuvant therapy for patients with locally advanced resectable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

This is a prospective, phase II, exploratory clinical trial. The study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of in combination adebrelimab with nimotuzumab and chemotherapy as neoadjuvant therapy in patients with resectable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. The primary endpoint is pCR ( pathological complete response), evaluating the efficacy of adebrelimab in combination with nimotuzumab and neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with resectable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. After the primary objective is achieved, EFS (event free survival ), R0 resection rate, MPR (major pathological response), OS (overall survival), and safety will be assessed as key secondary objectives. The study plans to enroll 22 patients with resectable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. The study is divided into a screening period, a treatment period, and a follow-up period. Subjects will enter the screening period after signing informed consent. Subjects who pass the screening assessment will be enrolled in the study. Eligible subjects will receive two cycles of neoadjuvant therapy with adebrelimab, nimotuzumab, nab-paclitaxel, and cisplatin. Esophagectomy will be performed after two cycles of neoadjuvant therapy (4-6 weeks after the last dose). Researchers will determine subsequent treatment based on postoperative pathology. After treatment (surgery), safety and efficacy follow-ups will commence. When a subject first experiences disease progression as assessed by the investigator according to RECIST v1.1, confirmation is required after 4-6 weeks (except for rapid or significant clinical progression). Subjects whose disease progression is not confirmed by imaging after 4-6 weeks may continue treatment if their clinical symptoms remain stable, as determined by the investigator, until imaging-confirmed disease progression occurs, or other termination criteria as specified in the protocol are met, whichever occurs first.

Effective systemic therapy such as nivolumab as an adjuvant therapy has been demonstrated to improve the outcomes of patients receiving neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CRT) for locoregional esophageal cancer. A more effective systemic therapy with anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) plus cisplatin-based doublet chemotherapy, which has shown with high tumor response rate and improved survivals in patients with late-stage ESCC, may provide crucial benefit to patients with locally advanced disease by improving the systemic control, downstaging the locoregional tumor burden and reducing recurrence and metastasis. Collectively, the investigators hypothesize that total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT) approach-consisting of induction immunochemotherapy followed by CRT-is a promising strategy to enhance the outcomes for participants with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

This is a Phase 1/2a, first-in-human, open-label study of JAB-8263, this study has two parts: solid tumor dose escalation and expansion study and hematology tumor dose escalation and expansion study. These two parts will determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) and assess the DLT of JAB-8263 in treatment with patients with advanced solid tumors and hematology tumors separately. 30 subjects each will be enrolled.

This study is a single-arm, multicenter clinical trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of radiotherapy combined with TAS-102 monotherapy in elderly patients with locally advanced esophageal cancer. Treatment Phase: The treatment phase is divided into a Phase I stage and a Phase II stage. The Phase I stage aims to explore the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of TAS-102 in elderly esophageal cancer patients. A total of 9 subjects were enrolled, and the dose was escalated from 30 mg/m² in 5 mg/m² increments up to 40 mg/m². The MTD was defined as the highest drug dose at which no dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) was observed in more than 40% of treated patients during the first two weeks of combined radiotherapy and TAS-102 administration. The Phase II stage aims to investigate the efficacy of radiotherapy combined with TAS-102 at the MTD in elderly esophageal cancer patients, with 36 subjects enrolled. Consolidation Phase: Following the treatment phase, subjects had a 3-4 week rest period. This was followed by consolidation therapy with TAS-102 monotherapy at a dose of 35 mg/m², administered twice daily on days 1-5 of a 28-day cycle for two cycles. Subsequently, patients entered the efficacy and safety follow-up phase until the study endpoints were reached or after a full 2-year follow-up period.

This study aims to develop a predictive model using deep learning and radiomics to assess the likelihood of lymph node metastasis in patients with early-stage esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Lymph node metastasis is a critical factor in determining the treatment approach and prognosis for ESCC patients. By analyzing medical imaging data, we hope to create a non-invasive method that can assist doctors in making more accurate treatment decisions. This research could improve patient outcomes by enabling earlier and more tailored interventions.

This is a single arm，phase 2 study evaluating the safety and efficacy of Ivonescimab(AK112) combined with chemotherapy in the treatment of advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). In this study, patients with advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma who had not received any systematic treatment in the past will be enrolled. The research will be conducted in two stages. In the first part, 6 patients were enrolled in the group. After the last subject in the group completed at least 21 days of observation after the first medication, the researchers will conduct a preliminary safety and effectiveness assessment. If the safety and tolerability are good, it will enter the second expansion part till the study enrolled 30 patients. Patients who met the inclusion criteria were treated with AK112 (20mg/kg, intravenous infusion, d1, Q3W) in combination with albumin paclitaxel (220mg/m2, intravenous infusion, d1, Q3W) and cisplatin (75mg/m2, intravenous infusion, d1, Q3W), of which the maximum treatment time of chemotherapy was up to six cycles, and the maximum treatment time of AK112 was 24 months. Patients received regular and periodic reviews, with imaging evaluations every 6 weeks.

Clinical data of patients with synchronous radiotherapy for esophageal cancer in the Department of Radiology of Jiangsu Provincial People's Hospital were collected. Patients were divided into trilaciclib group (34 cases) and control group (169 cases) based on whether trilaciclib was used or not. Patients in the trilaciclib group were given trilaciclib before each chemotherapy treatment. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to balance the baseline characteristics between the two groups on a 1:1 ratio. After pairing, the rates of bone marrow suppression and other adverse events were compared between the two groups.
