Abstract   Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) as a common malignancy is prevalent in East Asia and in eastern and southern Africa. Although pembrolizumab, nivolumab and camrelizumab are respectively recommended as second-line treatment for advanced ESCC due to improved overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR) was modest. New effective treatments are needed. Hence, the study of camrelizumab plus apatinib (VEGFR2 inhibitor) as second-line treatment for advanced ESCC was performed. Methods This ongoing phase II trial (NCT03736863) in six sites in China enrolled pts aged 18-75 with unresectable locally advanced, locally recurrent, or metastatic ESCC that progressed or were intolerant after first-line chemotherapy, and an ECOG performance status of 0-1. Pts received 200 mg camrelizumab intravenously every 2 weeks and apatinib 250 mg orally once per day in 4-week cycles until disease progression, unacceptable adverse events (AEs) or withdrawal of consent. The primary endpoint was investigator-assessed ORR. Secondary endpoints included disease control rate (DCR), progression-free survival (PFS) and OS. Results At data cutoff (Feb 28, 2021), 52 pts were enrolled, including 42 males and 50 with distant metastases, with the median age of 62 years. In the evaluable population of 39 pts, ORR without confirmation was 43.59% and DCR was 94.87%. The median duration of response was 6.9 months (95% CI 4.57–9.23). The median PFS was 6.8 month (95% CI 2.66–10.94). The 12-month overall survival was 52.2%. A total of 80.8% of pts had treatment-related AEs (TRAEs) with 46.2% of grade ≥ 3 TRAEs. The safety profile of camrelizumab and apatinib was consistent with other anti–PD-1 antibodies and angiogenesis inhibitors. Conclusion This is the first study that evaluates the combination anti–PD-1 antibody and anti-angiogenesis inhibitor as a second-line therapy for advanced ESCC. Camrelizumab plus apatinib showed encouraging clinical efficacy and acceptable safety. Further phase III randomized trials are warranted.

130 Background: Based on the JCOG 9907 trial results, neoadjuvant chemotherapy with cisplatin (CDDP) plus 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) is considered a standard treatment for stage II/III esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) in Japan. However, patient survival remains unsatisfactory. We conducted a feasibility study of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NeoCRT) with CDDP plus 5-FU and elective nodal irradiation for stage II/III ESCC. Methods: Eligibility criteria included clinical stage II/III (UICC 6th, non-T4) ESCC, PS 0-1, and age 20–75 years. Chemotherapy consisted of 2 courses of 5-FU infusion (1000 mg/m2, days 1–4) and a 2-h CDDP infusion (75 mg/m2, day 1), with a 4-week interval. Radiotherapy was concurrently administered to a total 41.4 Gy in 23 fractions for primary tumor, metastatic lymph nodes and regional lymph nodes. After completion of CRT, transthoracic esophagectomy with extensive lymphadenectomy (>D2) was performed. The primary endpoint was the completion rate of NeoCRT and R0 resection. Results: From July 2010 to June 2011, 33 patients were enrolled, including 2 ineligibles. In 31 eligible patients, the median age was 63 years (range, 40–73); male/female: 28/3; PS0/1: 19/12; cStage IIA/IIB/III: 2/10/19. During CRT, the most common grade 3 or 4 toxicities were leukopenia (65%), neutropenia (65%), anemia (13%), thrombocytopenia (13%), febrile neutropenia (13%), anorexia (16%), esophagitis (16%), and hyponatremia (16%). In total, 31 patients (100%) underwent CRT and 25 (81%) underwent surgery; 1 patient (3%) did not undergo surgery due to disease progression, and the other 5 patients (16%) are scheduled for surgery. Among patients who underwent surgery, there was 1 treatment-related death, and the incidence of operative morbidity was similar to that in previous studies. According to RECIST, the overall response rate was 63% after CRT completion. Pathological complete response was achieved in 11 patients (44%) who underwent esophagectomy. Conclusions: NeoCRT was well tolerated and appears to be highly promising. The randomized controlled trial compared with neoadjuvant chemotherapy is needed and will be started.

4055 Background: Paclitaxel (PTX) is effective in concurrent chemoradiation (CCR) against esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) . Which regimen, among cisplatin (DDP) (TP), carboplatin (CBP) (TC) or 5-Fu (TF) in combination with PTX concurrent with radiotherapy, provides best prognosis with minimum adverse events (AEs) is still unknown. Methods: The study compared two pairs of regimens: TF vs. TP and TF vs. TC concurrent with radiotherapy. Patients with histologically confirmed ESCC (clinical stage II, III or IVa) were randomized into the three groups. Patients in TP group were treated with 2 cycles of CCR followed by 2 cycles of consolidation chemotherapy with TP (DDP 25 mg/m2/d, d1-3, PTX 175 mg/m2, d1, q28d). Patients in TF group were treated with 6 cycles of TF (5-Fu 300 mg/m2, civ 96h, PTX 50 mg/m2, d1, qw) in CCR followed by 2 cycles of TF (5-FU 1800 mg/m2, civ 72h, PTX 175 mg/m2, d1, q28d) in consolidation chemotherapy. Patients in TC group were treated with 6 cycles of TC (CBP AUC = 2, d1, PTX 50 mg/m2, d1, qw) in CCR followed by 2 cycles of TC (CBP AUC = 5, d1, PTX 175 mg/m2 d1, q28d) in consolidation chemotherapy. The radiotherapy dose in all groups was 61.2 Gy delivered in 34 fractions. The primary endpoint was overall survival and the secondary endpoints were progression-free survival and adverse events. Results: Between July 2015 and January 2018, 321 ESCC patients in 11 centers were enrolled. TP group had a significant higher incidence of acute grade 3/4 neutropenia (59.7% vs. 16.8%(TF) or 32.4%(TC)), thrombocytopenia (12.7% vs. 3.5%(TF) or 6.2%(TC)), anemia (6.4% vs. 4.4%(TF) or 4.4%(TC)), fatigue (10.0% vs. 0.9%(TF) or 0.9%(TC)) and vomiting (5.5% vs. 0%(TF) or 0.9%(TC)) than other two groups ( P < 0.05). TF group had a significant higher incidence of grade 3/4/5 esophagitis (13.1% vs. 1.8%(TP) or 5.3%(TC)) and pneumonitis (4.4% vs. 0%(TP) or 1.8%(TC)) than other two groups ( P < 0.05). One patient in TF group died of acute pneumonitis. One patient in TF group and one in TC group died of acute esophagitis. Conclusions: TP and TF regimen showed different severe AEs in CCR in ESCC patients and TC showed mild AEs. Clinical trial information: NCT02459457.
