May 26, 2026 updated by: Hansoh BioMedical R&D Company

A Multicenter, Randomized, Open-Label, Controlled Phase III Clinical Study Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of HS-20093- Injection Versus Investigator's Choice of Chemotherapy in Patients With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma After Progress of First-Line Standard Therapy

This is a multicenter, randomized, open-label, controlled phase III clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of HS-20093- injection versus investigator's choice of chemotherapy in patients with locally advanced or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma after progress of first-line standard therapy.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

This is a multicenter, randomized, open-label, controlled phase III clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of HS-20093- injection versus investigator's choice of chemotherapy in patients with locally advanced or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma after progress of first-line standard therapy.

Eligible participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to the experimental arm (HS-20093) or the control arm (investigator's choice of monochemotherapy, including irinotecan, paclitaxel, or docetaxel). Both experimental arm and control arm will receive a treatment cycle of 21 days until disease progression or other treatment discontinuation criteria are met; Efficacy and safety will be analyzed and evaluated in both arms following the protocol-specified follow-up procedure.
