Vebrekotuzumab ± Anti-PD-1 in Pretreated Advanced ESCC

This study will test a new potential treatment for advanced esophageal squamous cell cancer (ESCC) for patients whose initial treatment has stopped working. Currently, the standard second-line treatment for this cancer is PD-1 inhibitors or chemotherapy alone, which is not very effective, allowing the cancer to grow again after just 1.6 to 3.4 months on average. Therefore, there is a strong need for more effective therapies. The new treatment is a type of drug called an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC). It is designed to target a specific protein called EGFR, which is found in high amounts on the surface of 50-70% of ESCC cancer cells and is linked to a poorer outlook for patients. This ADC works like a targeted delivery system: an antibody guides a powerful cell-killing drug directly to the cancer cells, aiming to destroy them while reducing harm to healthy cells. Although other drugs targeting EGFR have not successfully improved survival for ESCC patients, this new ADC offers a different and promising approach. The main goal of this study is to find out if this new EGFR-targeting ADC is effective in helping patients with advanced ESCC live longer without their cancer getting worse.

Efficacy and Safety of Adebrelimab Combined With Chemoradiotherapy in Patients With Unresectable Locally Advanced or Postoperative Recurrent Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma

This study was a single-center, single-arm, open-label phase II clinical trial. Thirty patients with unresectable locally advanced or postoperative recurrent esophageal squamous cell carcinoma were treated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy combined with immunotherapy. The radiotherapy regimen was intensity-modulated radiotherapy with PGTV at 50-50.4 Gy/25-28 fractions, 1.8-2 Gy per fraction, five times a week. The chemotherapy regimen was paclitaxel 50 mg/m2 and cisplatin 25 mg/m2 intravenous infusion on day 1, once a week for five times. The immunotherapy was with adebutilimab at 20 mg/kg on day 1, every three weeks for three times. One week before radiotherapy, gastroscopy, chest CT or PET-CT images were taken as the baseline standard. Based on the results of gastroscopy, chest CT or PET-CT before and after treatment, the number of patients with complete response (CR), partial response (PR), stable disease (SD) and progressive disease (PD) in the two groups was observed. The objective response rate (ORR) was calculated as CR + PR, and the disease control rate (DCR) was calculated as CR + PR + SD. The progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), 1-year and 2-year survival rates and adverse reactions were also statistically analyzed.

Camrelizumab, Chemotherapy and Ivarmacitinib in Patients With Resectable Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma

In the management of locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, the outcomes associated with surgical resection, whether conducted alone or supplemented with postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy, have been suboptimal. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have shown potential in enhancing the immune system's capacity to target and eliminate cancer cells. Evidence suggests that the concurrent administration of JAK inhibitors with ICIs may improve anti-cancer efficacy, increase patient response rates, and prolong progression-free survival compared to ICIs alone. This prospective, exploratory study aims to assess the efficacy of combining camrelizumab, chemotherapy, and Ivarmacitinib in neoadjuvant treatment for locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, with the objective of broadening therapeutic options for this malignancy.

Substudy 06E: Umbrella Study of Combination Therapies in Esophageal Cancer (MK-3475-06E/KEYMAKER-U06)

Researchers are looking for new ways to treat esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). ESCC is a type of cancer that starts in certain cells that line the esophagus. The esophagus is the tube that connects the throat to the stomach. This study will look at ESCC that is either locally advanced unresectable, which means it has spread into tissue near where it started and cannot be completely removed by surgery, or metastatic, which means it has spread to other body parts. Available treatments for these types of ESCC include pembrolizumab and chemotherapy. Pembrolizumab is an immunotherapy, which is a treatment that helps the immune system fight cancer. Chemotherapy is medicine that destroys cancer cells or stops them from growing. Researchers want to learn about giving pembrolizumab and investigational agents, with or without chemotherapy to treat ESCC. Ifinatamab deruxtecan (I-DXd), is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC). An ADC attaches to a protein on cancer cells and delivers treatment to destroy those cells. The main goal of this study is to learn about the safety of investigational agents and pembrolizumab with or without chemotherapy and if people tolerate them. Researchers also want to learn how cancer responds (gets smaller or goes away) to the study treatments.
