Radiotherapy Combined With Immunochemotherapy in Metastatic Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma

First-line Anti-PD-1 Therapy Plus Chemotherapy With or Without Radiotherapy in Metastatic Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma: A Phase II Multi-center Trial (SCR-ESCC-01)


Sponsor

Shanghai Chest Hospital

Enrollment

100 participants

Start Date

Jan 1, 2023

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

SCR-ESCC-01 is a multicenter, randomized, phase II study aiming to investigate the benefit of early involvement of low-dose radiotherapy(LDRT) and conventionally fractionated radiotherapy(CFRT) in the first-line anti-PD-1 based treatment of metastatic ESCC. It begins with a safety run-in phase, followed by a randomized controlled comparison against standard immunochemotherapy.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Inclusion Criteria5

  • Age ≥18;
  • Metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (stage IVB, M1) confirmed by pathology;
  • ECOG performance status: 0-1 point;
  • No prior anti-tumor treatment;
  • Adequate hematologic, renal, hepatic, and cardiac functions that meet the requirements for chemotherapy and immunotherapy assessed by investigators.

Exclusion Criteria12

  • Non-squamous cell esophageal carcinoma or ESCC mixed with other pathological types of esophageal cancer;
  • Patients who are potentially curable with surgery as assessed by investigators;
  • Pleural metastasis or malignant pleural effusion, pericardial effusion;
  • Any prior anti-tumor therapy for esophageal cancer, i.e., surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or immunotherapy;
  • High risk of gastrointestinal bleeding, esophageal fistula, or perforation;
  • Patients with Patient-Generated Subjective Globe Assessment (PG-SGA) score≥9;
  • Unstable cardiac diseases or symptoms;
  • History of interstitial pulmonary disease, non-infectious pneumonitis; pulmonary fibrosis, or other uncontrolled acute pulmonary disease;
  • Active autoimmune disease or history of autoimmune disease;
  • Conditions of immunodeficiency or active infection requiring systemic therapy;
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding;
  • Patients with synchronous second primary cancer and a history of malignancy within the past 5 years (excluding completely cured cervical carcinoma in situ or basal cell or squamous cell skin carcinoma).
