Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Esophageal cancer remains a disease with a poor prognosis. Chemotherapy is an important part of its treatment, but there are cases in which chemotherapy is ineffective. The investigators aim to develop a model to predict the response to chemotherapy by DNA methylation of preoperative biopsy specimens to identify the chemotherapy ineffective group.

This is a multicenter, open-label, randomized, controlled clinical study to compare the efficacy and safety of cardonilizumab combined with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and surgery versus neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy and surgery in locally advanced ESCC. Subjects were randomly divided into experimental group and control group, the experimental group received neoadjuvant immunotherapy concurrent chemotherapy regimen, the control group received neoadjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy regimen, and then received McKeown surgery. The primary outcome measures were complete pathological response (pCR), and the secondary outcome measures were major pathological response (MPR), EFS (event-free survival), OS (overall survival), overall response rate (ORR), decreased pathological stage, R0 resection rate, adverse events (AE), and perioperative complications

The goal of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of EVOLVE104 in participants with advanced urothelial and squamous cell carcinomas who have previously taken standard treatment options, have declined or have been ineligible for treatment with these medications. Participants with advanced or metastatic cancer who meet all eligibility criteria may be eligible to participate in the study.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, preliminary anti-tumor activity, and to determine the recommended Phase II dose (RP2D) of the ALE.P02 monotherapy in adult patients with selected squamous solid tumors.

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.

This is a Phase 1/2, multicenter, randomized, open-label umbrella platform study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of investigational agents with or without pembrolizumab and/or chemotherapy, for the treatment of participants with second line (2L) esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) who have previously been exposed to PD-1/PD-L1 based treatment.

The purpose of this study is to characterize the clinical effects of tislelizumab, including pharmacokinetics (PK), activity, and safety assessments in US racial and ethnic minority patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative, programmed death-ligand 1(PD-L1)-positive, unresectable or metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal cancer (GAC/GEA) or esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). The study duration will be up to approximately 6 years.

Biotherapies are biological (extracted from an organism or living tissue) or biotechnological drugs used in the treatment of multiple conditions, such as autoimmune inflammatory diseases, cancers, and hematologic diseases. In recent years, these biotherapies have notably emerged in the treatment of cancers and hematologic disorders. As such, most patients with cancers or hematologic diseases will likely receive a biotherapy as part of their care pathway. These biotherapies are associated with various side effects, including hypersensitivity or allergic reactions, which are often poorly characterized in clinical trials. These reactions manifest as symptoms without specific dermatologic or allergologic semiology (such as itching, erythema, shortness of breath, sometimes digestive issues, or discomfort, and in some cases, an anaphylactic reaction). Unlike other treatments, such as antibiotics and neuromuscular blockers, there are currently no guidelines on the concentrations to use in skin tests for biotherapies. We propose conducting prospective clinical research to scientifically establish the concentrations to be used when investigating hypersensitivity to a biotherapy, in line with best practice recommendations for drug skin testing.

This is a Phase 1a/1b, open-label, multicenter dose escalation and dose expansion clinical study to evaluate the safety, PK, immunogenicity and preliminary efficacy of IDE034 in participants with locally advanced/metastatic solid tumor types that express B7-H3 and PTK7.

This study is an open-label, biomarker-integrated umbrella trial designed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of molecular subtype- and genomic biomarker-guided precision therapies in patients with advanced esophageal cancer refractory to prior immunotherapy. Conducted in a two-step process, the study first enrolls patients with locally advanced or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) who have progressed on prior immunotherapy, performing circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) sequencing to stratify them into three distinct treatment cohorts, after which patients receive tailored combination regimens matched to their specific molecular profiling in the second step. Specifically, Cohort 1 includes patients with high EGFR expression or activation of EGFR-related signaling pathways, who will receive Afatinib (40 mg, p.o., Q.D.) combined with Toripalimab (240 mg, i.v., Q21D) in a 21-day treatment cycle, continuing until radiographic disease progression (PD), unacceptable toxicity, loss to follow-up, death, or other investigator-determined criteria for discontinuation, with a maximum toripalimab treatment duration of 24 months. Cohort 2 comprises patients harboring genomic alterations directly associated with cell cycle regulation or activation of cell cycle signaling pathways, who will be treated with Dalpiciclib (125 mg, p.o., Q.D. for 21 consecutive days followed by a 7-day off period in a 28-day cycle \[Q4W\]) combined with Pyrotinib maleate (320 mg, p.o., Q.D., administered within 30 minutes post-meal, Q4W) until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, initiation of a new anti-tumor therapy, withdrawal of consent, or investigator's decision for treatment discontinuation. Cohort 3 includes patients with other molecular profiles who do not fit Cohorts 1 or 2, who will receive Camrelizumab (200 mg, i.v., Q3W) and Apatinib (250 mg, p.o., Q.D.), with clinical efficacy evaluations performed every 6 weeks, continuing until radiographic PD, unacceptable toxicity, death, or treatment discontinuation, whichever occurs first. The study aims to recruit an estimated maximum of 90 subjects, enrolling up to 30 subjects per cohort, with the final sample size dependent on the observed toxicities and the prevalence of each molecular cohort within the screened population.

A multicenter, single-arm, first-in-human study to investigate the safety, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary antitumor activity of PLX-61639 in participants with locally advanced or metastatic, relapsed/refractory, SMARCA4-deficient solid tumors who are intolerant of or have failed available, approved therapies. The study will be conducted in 3 parts: dose escalation (Part 1), dose optimization (Part 2), and cohort expansion (Part 3). Each part of the study will consist of a Screening Phase lasting up to 28 days during which participants will be assessed for eligibility, a Treatment Phase beginning on Cycle 1 Day 1 and consisting of consecutive 28-day cycles, an End of Treatment Visit, and a Post-Treatment Follow-Up Phase. Participants will receive their assigned dose of PLX-61639 administered orally, once daily until progression/relapse, intolerance, death, or withdrawal from study treatment by the Investigator or participant.

This is a Phase III, multicenter, open-label, randomized controlled trial. The study aims to compare organ preservation versus esophagectomy in patients with locally advanced, resectable thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) who achieve a complete or partial clinical response (cCR/cPR) following neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy.

This is a Phase 2 study of GV20-0251 in combination with anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibodies (including tislelizumab and toripalimab) for the treatment of participants with unresectable, locally advanced, or metastatic solid tumors who are refractory to, intolerant of, or ineligible for standard of care.

This is a prospective, single-arm, exploratory clinical study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of retlirafusp alfa combined with chemotherapy (nab-paclitaxel and cisplatin) as a neoadjuvant therapy for patients with resectable locally advanced thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). The primary objective of this study is to assess the pathologic complete response (pCR) rate in the target population. A total of 33 patients with histologically or cytologically confirmed resectable locally advanced thoracic ESCC are planned to be enrolled.

This is a prospective, multi-cohort, exploratory clinical study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant adebrelimab combined with chemotherapy in patients with resectable locally advanced thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), with a particular focus on the effect of the time-of-day of immunotherapy infusion. Eligible patients with histologically or cytologically confirmed, resectable locally advanced thoracic ESCC will be randomly assigned in a 1:1:1 ratio to three cohorts according to predefined immunotherapy infusion time windows. Cohort A will receive adebrelimab plus chemotherapy with the first cycle initiated at or after 15:00 and subsequent cycles initiated before 15:00; Cohort B will receive all three cycles initiated before 15:00; and Cohort C will receive all three cycles initiated at or after 15:00. Neoadjuvant treatment consists of three cycles of adebrelimab in combination with nab-paclitaxel and cisplatin, followed by surgical resection 4-6 weeks after completion of neoadjuvant therapy. The primary endpoint of the study is pathological complete response (pCR). Secondary endpoints include event-free survival (EFS), major pathological response (MPR) rate, R0 resection rate, overall survival (OS), and disease-free survival (DFS). Tumor response will be assessed according to RECIST version 1.1, and pathological response will be evaluated using the College of American Pathologists (CAP) tumor regression grading system and AJCC 8th edition staging criteria. Safety will be continuously monitored throughout the study, and patients will undergo scheduled follow-up for disease progression or recurrence and survival after completion of study treatment.

This is a Phase 1/2, open-label, multicenter study evaluating the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and anti-tumor activity of TER-2013 in patients with advanced solid tumors harboring AKT/PI3K/PTEN pathway alterations.

This trial will look at a drug called sigvotatug vedotin (SGN-B6A) alone and with pembrolizumab, with or without chemotherapy, to find out whether it is safe for people who have solid tumors. It will study sigvotatug vedotin to find out what its side effects are. A side effect is anything the drug does besides treating cancer. It will also study whether sigvotatug vedotin works to treat solid tumors. The study will have four parts. * Part A of the study will find out how much sigvotatug vedotin should be given to participants. * Part B will use the dose found in Part A to find out how safe sigvotatug vedotin is and if it works to treat solid tumors. * Part C of the study will find out how safe sigvotatug vedotin is in combination with these other drugs. * Part D will include people who have not received treatment. This part of the study will find out how safe sigvotatug vedotin is in combination with these other drugs and if these combinations work to treat solid tumors. * In Parts C and D, participants will receive sigvotatug vedotin with either: * Pembrolizumab or, * Pembrolizumab and carboplatin, or * Pembrolizumab and cisplatin.

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.

This is a Phase 1a, open label, single dose, extended study of safety and biokinetics of RAD301 in healthy human volunteers and individuals with PDAC or Other Solid Tumors

This trial is a registrational Phase II/III, randomized, controlled, open-label, multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of BL-B01D1 in combination with tislelizumab ± 5-FU in patients with unresectable, locally advanced recurrent or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

In the past few decades, surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and other treatments were continuously improved, however, the mortality of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients was not significantly decreased. It is recommended that a treatment strategy be employed that integrates surgery with radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or immunotherapy, in order to enhance overall survival by improving local-regional tumor control and addressing microscopic metastases. Clinical research indicates that combining anti-PD-1/L1 and anti-VEGF antibodies enhances anti-tumor effects in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Ivonescimab, a humanized bispecific monoclonal antibody targeting PD-1/VEGF. This single-arm, prospective, exploratory study is planned to evaluate the combination of ivonescimab and chemotherapy in neoadjuvant therapy for resectable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, with the aim of providing new therapeutic options for this condition.

This study will test the safety of a drug called PF-08046054/SGN-PDL1V alone and with pembrolizumab in participants with solid tumors. It will also study the side effects of this drug. A side effect is anything a drug does to your body besides treating your disease. Participants will have solid tumor cancer that has spread through the body (metastatic) or cannot be removed with surgery (unresectable). This study will have five parts. Parts A and B of the study will find out how much PF-08046054/SGN- PDL1V should be given to participants. Part C will use the dose found in Parts A and B to find out how safe PF-08046054/SGN-PDL1V is and if it works to treat solid tumor cancers. In Part D and E, participants will be given PF-08046054/SGN-PDL1V with pembrolizumab to find out how safe this combination is and if it works to treat solid tumor cancers.

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.

Malnutrition is highly prevalent in patients with upper gastrointestinal tumors, which may negatively impact treatment tolerance and anti-tumor immune responses. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intensive enteral nutritional support in patients with locally advanced unresectable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) undergoing conversion therapy. Participants receiving PD-1 inhibitors combined with chemotherapy will be randomly assigned to either intensive nutritional support or standard care. The primary goal is to determine if intensive nutritional support can improve the pathological complete response (pCR) rate after subsequent surgery.

The purpose of the study is to explore the safety and effects of the study drug (PF-08046876) in people diagnosed with advanced cancer of the bladder, lung, head and neck, esophagus, or pancreas. PF-08046876 is an investigational anticancer therapy called an 'antibody drug conjugate' or 'ADC'. ADCs are anticancer drugs designed to stick to cancer cells and kill them. The study drug will be given to participants through a needle in a vein (intravenous infusion). This study includes multiple parts. In the first part of the study, there will be different groups of people receiving different doses of the study drug. The study may also test different schedules.
