简要总结

Brief Summary

The goal of this single-arm Phase II clinical trial is to learn whether low-dose radiotherapy (LDRT) can restore sensitivity to immunotherapy and prolong disease control in adults with advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma who have progressed after first-line chemotherapy combined with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • Can LDRT followed by continued immunotherapy increase progression-free survival compared with historical data?
  • What is the objective response rate after adding LDRT to ongoing immunotherapy?
  • Is LDRT combined with immunotherapy safe in this heavily pre-treated population?

Participants will:

  • Receive a single fraction of 2 Gy to every visible metastatic lesion within one week
  • Continue their prior PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor (e.g., camrelizumab, pembrolizumab) after LDRT is completed
  • Undergo tumor imaging every 6 weeks for up to one year to monitor response
  • Provide optional blood and tissue samples for exploratory biomarker studies

入选标准

  • Age≥18 years old;
  • ECOG score 0-1;
  • Histologically or cytologically confirmed esophageal squamous cell carcinoma that is locally advanced (unresectable) or metastatic (AJCC/TNM 8th edition).
  • Progression during or after one prior systemic first-line regimen that contained both a platinum-based chemotherapy and a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor (progression must be documented radiologically or clinically). Patients who received neoadjuvant/adjuvant therapy containing a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor are considered first-line failures if progression/recurrence occurs during or within 6 months after completion of that therapy.
  • At least one measurable lesion per RECIST 1.1 within 4 weeks before enrollment. NOTE: a previously irradiated lesion cannot serve as a target lesion unless clear progression after radiotherapy is documented.
  • Life expectancy ≥ 3 months.
  • Adequate organ function within 1 week before enrollment:
  • Hematologic: Hb ≥ 80 g/L; WBC ≥ 3.0 × 10⁹/L or ANC ≥ 1.5 × 10⁹/L; platelets ≥ 100 × 10⁹/L.
  • Hepatic: total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × ULN (direct bilirubin ≤ ULN if total > 1.5 × ULN); ALT/AST ≤ 2.5 × ULN.
  • Renal: serum creatinine < 1.5 × ULN or creatinine clearance ≥ 50 mL/min; BUN ≤ 200 mg/L; albumin ≥ 30 g/L.
  • Ability to understand and provide written informed consent.

排除标准

  • Active autoimmune disease (e.g., inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, vasculitis).
  • Symptomatic interstitial lung disease or active infectious/non-infectious pneumonitis.
  • Tumor invasion into adjacent organs (aorta or trachea) with high risk of bleeding or fistula; prior esophageal stent placement.
  • Other malignancies within the past 2 years (except adequately treated basal-cell carcinoma, cervical carcinoma in situ, etc.).
  • Active infection, heart failure, myocardial infarction within 6 months, unstable angina, or uncontrolled arrhythmia.
  • Any condition that, in the investigator's opinion, could interfere with study results or increase patient risk.
  • Mixed small-cell histology.
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding women.
  • Congenital or acquired immunodeficiency, HIV infection, prior organ or allogeneic stem-cell transplantation.
  • Active HBV, HCV, or tuberculosis infection.
  • Prior tumor vaccine or any live vaccine within 4 weeks (inactivated influenza vaccine is allowed).
  • Concurrent use of other immunosuppressive agents, chemotherapy, investigational drugs, or chronic corticosteroids.
  • Psychiatric illness, substance abuse, or social issues that could compromise compliance.
  • Prior intolerance, hypersensitivity, or contraindication to PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors or chemotherapy components.
