    Abstract: Double-agent intravenous chemotherapy concurrent with radiotherapy is the standard of care for patients with inoperable esophageal cancer. However, patients tend to tolerate intravenous chemotherapy less well with age and comorbidities. It is essential to find a better treatment modality that improves survival outcomes without reducing the quality of life. Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of simultaneous integrated boost radiotherapy (SIB-RT) with concurrent and consolidated oral S-1 chemotherapy for patients aged 70 years and older with inoperable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Design, Setting, and Participants This multicenter, phase III randomized clinical trial was conducted between March 2017 and April 2020 in 10 centers in China. Patients with inoperable, locally advanced, clinical stage II to IV ESCC were enrolled and randomized to receive SIB-RT concurrent with and followed by oral S-1 chemotherapy (CRTCT group) or SIB-RT alone (RT group). Data analysis was completed on March 22, 2022. Interventions In both groups, the planning gross tumor volume was administered with radiation dose of 59.92 Gy and the planning target volume was administered with radiation dose of 50.4 Gy, in 28 fractions each. In the CRTCT group, concurrent S-1 was administered on radiotherapy days, and consolidated S-1 was administered at 4 to 8 weeks after SIB-RT. Main Outcomes and Measures The primary end point was overall survival (OS) of the intent-to-treat population. Secondary end points were progression-free survival (PFS) and toxicity profile. Results A total of 330 patients (median [IQR] age, 75.5 [72-7 9] years; 220 [66.7%] male patients) were included, with 146 patients randomized to the RT group and 184 randomized to the CRTCT group. A total of 107 patients (73.3%) in the RT group and 121 patients (67.9%) in the CRTCT group were clinically diagnosed with stage III to IV disease. At the time of analysis of the 330 patients in the intent-to treat-population (March 22, 2022), OS was improved in the CRTCT group compared with the RT group at 1 year (72.2% vs 62.3%) and 3 years (46.2% vs 33.9%; log-rank P  = .02). PFS was similarly improved in the CRTCT group compared with the RT group at 1 year (60.8% vs 49.3%) and 3 years (37.3% vs 27.9%; log-rank P  = .04). There was no significant difference in the incidence of treatment-related toxic effects higher than grade 3 between the 2 groups. Grade 5 toxic effects occurred in each group, including 1 patient who experienced myelosuppression and 4 patients with pneumonitis in the RT group and 3 patients with pneumonitis and 2 patients with fever in the CRTCT group. Conclusions and Relevance These findings suggest that oral S-1 chemotherapy administered with SIB-RT should be considered as an alternative treatment option for patients aged 70 years and older with inoperable ESCC, since it improved survival outcomes without additional treatment-related toxic effects compared with SIB-RT alone.

    Abstract: The aim of the study was to compare the clinical outcomes of induction chemotherapy (IC) followed by definitive concurrent chemoradiotherapy (dCCRT) versus chemoradiotherapy alone in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) on the basis of a clinical scoring model. Methods A retrospective review of 599 patients with ESCC treated with dCCRT at our institution from 2010 to 2019 was conducted. The patients were divided into two groups based on whether they received IC. A clinical scoring model was performed using the significant variables obtained from the multivariate analysis. The PFS and OS rates were estimated using the Kaplan–Meier method. Results During the study period, 182 patients receiving IC followed by dCCRT and 417 dCCRT alone were identified. No significant differences in the PFS and OS rates were observed between the IC group (P=0.532) and the non-IC group (P=0.078). A clinical scoring model was constructed based on independent prognostic factors with scores ranging from 0 to 10.4. The patients were divided into high- and low-risk groups by using the median score as the cutoff value. The PFS rate of patients receiving IC was higher than that of patients treated without IC (P=0.034), while there was no improvement in the OS rate (P=0.794) in the high-risk group. No significant differences in the PFS (P=0.207) or OS (P=0.997) rate were found between the two treatment groups in the low-risk group. Conclusions The addition of IC followed by dCCRT for patients with ESCC might be associated with better PFS rates based on a clinical scoring model but has no impact on OS rates. Further prospective studies are warranted for the validation of this model.

    Abstract: We conducted a phase Ib study of radiotherapy plus programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) monoclonal antibody camrelizumab as first-line treatment for locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Methods We planned to enroll 20 patients with newly diagnosed locally advanced ESCC. Patients received 60 Gy radiation (2.0 Gy/fraction, 5 fractions/week), with camrelizumab (200 mg every 2 weeks) starting with radiotherapy and continuing for 32 weeks (i.e., for 16 cycles). The primary endpoints were safety and feasibility. Secondary endpoints were rates of radiologic and pathologic response, overall survival (OS), and progression-free survival (PFS). Study data were collected by the week during radiotherapy (RT), every month during the maintenance camrelizumab treatment, and every 3 months after treatment. Tumor microenvironment and peripheral blood were monitored at baseline and after 40 Gy radiation for association with efficacy. Results Twenty patients were enrolled and received treatment. One patient (patient 10) was excluded upon discovery of a second tumor in the bladder during treatment, leaving 19 patients for analysis. Toxicity was deemed tolerable. Fourteen (74%) patients had assessed objective response. At a median follow-up time of 31.0 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 27.0–35.1), median OS and PFS times were 16.7 months (95% CI, 5.9–27.9) and 11.7 months (95% CI, 0–30.3), respectively. OS and PFS rates at 24 months were 31.6% and 35.5%, respectively. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed associations between the following factors and OS/PFS: tumor programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression, PD-1+CD8+, PD-1+CD4+ T cells, and PD-L1+CD4+ T cells; peripheral blood CD4+, CD8+, CD4+ regulatory T cells, and their subsets. Conclusion Radiotherapy plus camrelizumab had manageable toxicity and antitumor efficacy for locally advanced ESCC. Several biomarkers were associated with clinical benefit and deserve further study.

    Abstract: Our previous phase Ib trial (NCT03222440) showed that radiotherapy plus the anti–PD-1 antibody camrelizumab is a safe and feasible first-line therapy for locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. In this study, we divided peripheral CD8 T-cell differentiation subsets into 4 subpopulations (naive T cells, central memory T cells, effector memory T cells, and CD45RA+ effector memory T cells). We then investigated the influence of radiotherapy plus camrelizumab therapy on the proportions of the 4 subsets and their PD-1, TIGIT, and CTLA-4 expression as well as their proliferative activity and compared the effects with those of concurrent chemoradiotherapy. Nineteen and 15 patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma who received radiotherapy plus camrelizumab therapy and concurrent chemoradiotherapy, respectively, were enrolled in this study. We isolated peripheral blood mononuclear cells from these patients before treatment and longitudinally after the delivery of 40 Gy radiotherapy. Flow cytometry was conducted to detect peripheral CD8 T-cell subsets and PD-1, TIGIT, CTLA-4, and Ki67 expression levels in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. We found that radiotherapy plus camrelizumab therapy did not change the proportions of the 4 subsets or the expression of CTLA-4, but this therapy decreased PD-1 expression by the 4 subsets and TIGIT expression by effector memory T cells, as well as significantly enhanced the proliferative activity of CD8 T cells, whereas concurrent chemoradiotherapy produced different effects. In addition, we further identified peripheral biomarkers that potentially predict the outcome of radiotherapy plus camrelizumab therapy.

    Abstract: Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) may play a role in evaluating treatment response after definitive chemoradiation therapy (dCRT) for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). This study explored the prognostic markers of EUS with biopsies and developed two nomograms for survival prediction. Methods A total of 821 patients newly diagnosed with ESCC between January 2015 and December 2019 were reviewed. We investigated the prognostic value of the changes in tumor imaging characteristics and histopathological markers by an interim response evaluation, including presence of stenosis, ulceration, tumor length, tumor thickness, lumen involvement, and tumor remission. Independent prognostic factors of progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were determined using Cox regression analysis and further selected to build two nomogram models for survival prediction. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, calibration curve, and decision curve analysis (DCA) were used to respectively assess its discriminatory capacity, predictive accuracy, and clinical usefulness. Results A total of 155 patients were enrolled in this study and divided into the training (109 cases) and testing (46 cases) cohorts. Tumor length, residual tumor thickness, reduction in tumor thickness, lumen involvement, and excellent remission (ER) of spatial luminal involvement in ESCC (ER/SLI) differed significantly between responders and non-responders. For patients undergoing dCRT, tumor stage (P = 0.001, 0.002), tumor length (P = 0.013, 0.008), 〉  0.36 reduction in tumor thickness (P = 0.004, 0.004) and ER/SLI (P = 0.041, 0.031) were independent prognostic markers for both PFS and OS. Time-dependent ROC curves, calibration curves, and DCA indicated that the predicted survival rates of our two established nomogram models were highly accurate. Conclusion Our nomogram showed high accuracy in predicting PFS and OS for ESCC after dCRT. External validation and complementation of other biomarkers are needed in further studies.

    Abstract: Brain metastases (BMs) are the most frequent intracranial tumours associated with poor clinical outcomes. Radiotherapy is essential in the treatment of these tumours, although the optimal radiation strategy remains controversial. The present study aimed to assess whether whole brain radiation therapy with a simultaneous integrated boost (WBRT + SIB) provides any therapeutic benefit over WBRT alone. Methods We included and retrospectively analysed 82 patients who received WBRT + SIB and 83 who received WBRT alone between January 2012 and June 2021. Intracranial progression-free survival (PFS), local tumour control (LTC), overall survival (OS), and toxicity were compared between the groups. Results Compared to WBRT alone, WBRT + SIB improved intracranial LTC and PFS, especially in the lung cancer subgroup. Patients with high graded prognostic assessment score or well-controlled extracranial disease receiving WBRT + SIB had improved intracranial PFS and LTC. Moreover, WBRT + SIB also improved the long-term intracranial tumour control of small cell lung cancer patients. When evaluating toxicity, we found that WBRT + SIB might slightly increase the risk of radiation-induced brain injury, and that the risk increased with increasing dosage. However, low-dose WBRT + SIB had a tolerable radiation-induced brain injury risk, which was lower than that in the high-dose group, while it was comparable to that in the WBRT group. Conclusions WBRT + SIB can be an efficient therapeutic option for patients with BMs, and is associated with improved intracranial LTC and PFS. Furthermore, low-dose WBRT + SIB (biologically effective dose [BED] ≤ 56 Gy) was recommended, based on the acceptable risk of radiation-induced brain injury and satisfactory tumour control. Trial registration Retrospectively registered.

    Abstract: e14006 Background: Parthenolide-derived compounds, including ACT001, achieved radiation-enhancing and normal cell protection effects in pre-clinical studies through Nrf2, STAT3 and other pathways. Safety and efficacy data from 45 cancer patients with brain metastasis in a phase 1b/2a study were presented. Methods: Eligible patients with SCLC, NSCLC and other cancers complicated with more than three metastatic brain lesions (no up limit for SCLC) were randomized to placebo (Cohort C), ACT001 200mg (Cohort A) and 400mg,bid (Cohort B). Patients were treated with ACT001 or placebo in combination with WBRT (30 Gy/10f) in first two weeks followed by continuous treatment with ACT001 or placebo till disease progression. Treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs, the primary endpoint) and survival events were monitored. TE-SAEs and OS events that happened within 3 months (for lung cancers) or 6 months (other cancers) after end of WBRT were also assessed. MRI scans were performed and evaluated in baseline, 30 and 90 days after end of WBRT during study per iRANO and RANO-BM criteria. Results: Study enrolled 22 patients with SCLC, 14 NSCLC, 7 breast cancer and 2 with other cancers. NSCLC patients were negative for EGFR, ALK and ROS1 mutations whereas breast cancer patients are negative for HER2. Patient characteristics were balanced in age, KPS and GPA scores. All subjects finished the required WBRT. As of Dec 31 st , 2021, a total of 7 (9), 13 (13) and 10 (11) patients in Cohort C, A and B respectively had post-treatment MRI scans for objective response evaluation per iRANO (or RANO-BM) criteria. Of note, the patient numbers reflected those whose tumors met radiologically evaluable lesion requirements per iRANO ( 〉 10mm) or RANO-BM criteria (≥10mm). 3 out of 7 patients (42.9%) in Cohort C, 11 out of 13 (84.6%) in Cohort A and 9 out of 10 (90.0%) patients in Cohort B presented with partial response for intracranial lesions per iRANO criteria whereas 3 out 9 (33.3%), 11 out of 13 (84.6%) and 10 out of 11 (90.9%) patients achieved a partial response per RANO-BM criteria. The increased objective response noted in two ACT001 cohorts was also associated with decreased percentage change of median SPD (sum of the products of perpendicular diameters )as compared with data in Cohort C: -66.1% (Cohort A, baseline 969.8 mm 2 ), -72.3% (Cohort B, baseline 445.3 mm 2 ) and -44.7% (Cohort C, baseline 506.9 mm 2 ). There were 41, 30 and 20 WBRT-related grade 2 and 3 adverse events in Cohorts C, A and B. respectively. In total, there were 6, 4 and 2 TE-SAEs and death events reported in non-accumulative manner in Cohorts C, A and B respectively. As of this report, one year PFS for intracranial lesions has not been determined due to limited PD events. Conclusions: ACT001 seemed to ameliorate WBRT-induced adverse events and reduce intracranial burden of tumor metastasis. A pivotal study is warranted to further evaluate these effects.
