Abstract 2279
Background
The standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in Japan for locally advanced esophageal squamous cell cancer (ESCC) is chemotherapy with CDDP + 5-FU (CF). Docetaxel (DTX) + CF (DCF) is considered a promising regimen, which has been evaluated in a phase III study, JCOG1109. Nivolumab (Nivo) has shown promising efficacy in unresectable ESCC. In a preclinical study immune-checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) have shown efficacy as NAC and may work better than when used as adjuvants. Nivo monotherapy showed a major pathologic response in 43% of lung cancer patients (pts), but it was not shown whether ICI also work with chemotherapy that can lead to myelosuppression. The operative mortality and morbidity after use of ICI as NAC in ESCC are unknown.
Trial design
This multi-cohort phase I study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ICI combined with NAC in ESCC. Histologically proven ESCC pts with cT1N1-3M0 or cT2-3N0-3M0 (8th-UICC TNM classification), 20-75 years old, PS ≤ 1, no prior therapy against any cancer are eligible. The primary endpoint is the incidence of dose-limiting toxicities (DLT) from the initial dose to the 30th postoperative day. This study contains 4 experimental cohorts; cohort A: 2 courses of CDDP at 80 mg/m2, Nivo at 360mg/body on day 1 and 5-FU at 800 mg/m2 on days 1–5, q3wks; cohort B: one prior administration of Nivo at 240mg/body and otherwise the same regimen as cohort A; cohort C: 3 courses of DTX at 70 mg/m2, CDDP at 70 mg/m2, Nivo at 360mg/body on day 1, and 5-FU at 750 mg/m2 on days 1–5, q3wks; cohort D: one prior administration of Nivo at 240mg/body and otherwise the same regimen as cohort C. DLT was defined as follows: Nivo related, grade 4 neutropenia lasting 5 days or longer, >38 degree fever or grade 4 neutropenia lasting 3 days or longer, grade 4 thrombocytopenia lasting 3 days or longer, non-hematological toxicities of grade 3 or higher, grade 4 post-operative adverse events or grade 3 post-operative adverse events excluding hematological toxicity, anastomotic leak, pleural effusion and lung infection. 6 pts are planned to enroll to each cohort and less than one DLT was determined as safety among 6 pts. After this evaluation, we will add 12 pts as an expanded cohort.
