Local Therapy for Oligometastatic ESCC Patients Treated With PD-1 Inhibitor

April 30, 2024 updated by: Kuai Le Zhao, MD, Fudan University

Phase III Randomized-controlled Study of PD-1 Inhibitor Combined With Local Therapy in Patients With Oligometastatic Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Patients with oligometastatic squamous cell carcinoma were enrolled and randomly assigned to receive either PD-1 inhibitor +/- chemotherapy combined with local therapy or PD-1 inhibitor +/- chemotherapy alone.

The primary end point was progression-free survival (PFS). The secondary end points included overall survival, side effects and local control.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Patients with oligometastatic squamous cell carcinoma were enrolled and 2:1 randomly assigned to receive either PD-1 inhibitor +/- chemotherapy combined with local therapy (radiotherapy, surgery, radiofrequency/microwave ablation, etc.) or PD-1 inhibitor +/- chemotherapy alone. Different local therapy techniques are allowed to be used on different lesions in the same patient.All suspected malignant lesion should be included in local treatment planning in principle.

The primary end point was progression-free survival (PFS). The second end points included overall survival, side effects and local control.
