Popis: TPS199 Background: ESCC comprises 80% of esophageal cancers worldwide. Preoperative chemoRT is a standard-of-care based on the CROSS trial ( N Engl J Med 2012;366:2074-2084), which reported encouraging pathologic complete response (pCR) and overall survival (OS). Surgery is often deferred in patients with clinical CR (cCR) based on lack of overall survival (OS) benefit ( J Clin Oncol 2005;23:2310-2317, J Clin Oncol 2007;25:1160-1168). Nivolumab has activity in advanced ESCC ( Lancet Oncol 2017;18:631-639), and adding it to chemoRT may improve outcomes. ESCC has a high somatic mutation rate and treatment with chemoRT may augment the abscopal effect. Methods: Our trial aims to establish the safety and tolerability (phase I), as well as the efficacy (phase II) of nivolumab added to a standard chemoRT backbone for patients with TanyN1-3 or T3-4N0M0 ESCC. Phase I will enroll up to 12 patients and phase II, up to 44, per an optimal two-stage design. The phase I primary endpoint is unacceptable toxicity at 28 days after the last dose of chemotherapy. Phase II primary endpoints are cCR (endoscopy + PET/CT), pCR for patients undergoing surgery, and median progression-free survival and OS, which will be estimated via Kaplan Meier curves. Extensive tumor and blood immune correlative studies are planned. Clinical trial information: NCT03278626. [Table: see text]
