Abstract Background Recently, the JCOG0502 has shown a comparable efficacy of chemoradiotherapy and esophagectomy in patients with clinical T1N0M0 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. However, few studies have compared the clinical outcomes of these treatments in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients (including elderly patients) based on real-world data. Methods This retrospective study determined real-world outcomes in patients who underwent chemoradiotherapy or esophagectomy, including those with clinical T1N0M0 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, between 2009 and 2017 at the National Cancer Center Hospital East. Results Among a total of 156 patients, 120 and 36 patients underwent esophagectomy and chemoradiotherapy, respectively; 138, 12 and 6 patients had Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status 0, 1, and 2, respectively; and 33 and 123 patients had clinical tumor depth MM-SM1 and SM2-SM3, respectively. In a median follow-up of 72 months, 5-year progression-free survival and overall survival were respectively 77.0% and 81.5% in the esophagectomy group and 74.4% and 82.6% in the chemoradiotherapy group (P = 0.48 and, P = 0.89). Moreover, no treatment-related death was detected in both groups. In elderly patients (75 years or older), 5-year progression-free survival and overall survival were not significantly different between esophagectomy and chemoradiotherapy groups (5-year progression-free survival: 72.3% vs. 81.8%, P = 0.38; 5-year overall survival: 76.9% vs. 81.8%, P = 0.59). Conclusions This real-world study confirms the results of a previous clinical trial, and the present findings support chemoradiotherapy as one of the standard treatment options in patients of all ages with clinical T1N0M0 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

e16023 Background: Camrelizumab, a programmed death 1 (PD-1) inhibitor, has recently demonstrated efficacy for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) patients in a phase III trial. We report real-world clinical outcomes of camrelizumab therapy for ESCC patients in a multicenter prospective cohort. Methods: Eligible patientswereadvanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma with stage II-IV confirmed by pathology (including histology or cytology). All patients had received at most one systematic treatment and ECOG performance status of 0 or 1. Camrelizumab monotherapy(200mg) or combined with chemo-radiotherapy, chemotherapy, chemotherapy and antiangiogenic therapy as a first or second line of therapy were included. Progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), and overall survival (OS) and safety data were evaluated. This abstract summarizes the findings of an exploratory interim analysis (cut-off Dec 2020). Results: From Oct 2019-Dec 2020, 63 patients were enrolled (19 centers in China; mean age 62.26 years; 97% ECOG PS 1; 54% first line therapy). Patients received camrelizumab monotherapy (8; 13%), camrelizumab/chemo-radiotherapy combination therapy (22, 35%), camrelizumab/chemotherapy combination therapy (26, 41%), camrelizumab/chemotherapy/antiangiogenic therapy combination therapy (7, 11%). One patient achieved a complete response and 27 patients achieved a partial response, leading to an ORR of 41.26%. The DCR was 95.24%. The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 6.33 months (95% confidence interval [CI] 4.73-NA). Among patients with adequate samples test for LBH level and (lung immune prognostic index) LIPI score, 15.7% (8/51) patients had a high LBH level;63% (29/46), 32.6% (15/46) and 4.3% (2/46) patients had a good, middle and poor LIPI score, respectively. A significantly longer PFS was observed in patients with a normal LBH level (NA vs. 6.33 months, P = 0.049), and also in patients treated with first-line therapy (6.33 months vs. NA, P = 0.0338). Among adverse events, 4 patients (6.35%) reported grade 3-4 AEs, including pneumonia (n=2 [3.17%]), and bone marrow suppression (n=2 [3.17%]). 10 of 63 patients (15.87%) experienced any grade pneumonia, and 21 of 63 patients (33.33%) experienced grade 1-2 RCCEP. Conclusions: This real-world population showed that camrelizumab as the first- or second-line therapy was an effective and safe treatment for patients with ESCC.
