Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Understanding

Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma: Overview

Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma is the most common form of esophageal cancer worldwide. Although it is no longer the most common form of esophageal carcinoma in Western societies, ESCC continues to be the most prevalent type of esophageal cancer in the East, representing 90% of all cancers in most Asian, African, and Eastern European countries. Clinical management of ESCC remains challenging and the disease presently lacks approved targeted therapeutics. The average age of onset of ESCC is between the ages of 60 to 70 years and it is more frequently seen in males. It is usually asymptomatic until an advanced disease stage with common presenting symptoms being dysphagia (at first with solids then progressing to fluids) and weight loss. Less commonly odynophagia, hoarseness of voice, coughing, or chest pain can be presenting features. Tumors are typically found in the middle and the upper third of the esophagus. The exact etiology is unknown. Cigarette smoking and alcohol abuse are the principal risk factors. There is also an association with idiopathic achalasia (see this term), a motility disorder of the esophagus. Endoscopy and a biopsy will establish the diagnosis. For staging, a computed tomography (CT) scan of the neck, chest and abdomen, or CT combined with a positron emission tomography (CT-PET) scan will identify the primary tumor in most cases as well as any spread to the lymph nodes and organs such as the liver, lungs and bone. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), the combination of an ultrasound probe on an endoscope, is also increasingly used for staging, and is of particular value for early cancers. In upper or mid-esophageal tumors where there is a possibility of invasion of the airway (trachea or bronchi) a bronchoscopy may also be required. Treatment may be with curative intent when the disease is confined to the esophagus and even when local nodes of the primary tumor are involved, and when the patient is fit enough for treatment. Treatment with palliative intent, targeted on symptom control and quality of life, but not cure, is the mainstay of treatment when the disease is advanced or incurable, or the patient is unfit for therapy due to significant co-morbidities. The traditional treatment of ESCC is surgical resection; this is usually via a transthoracic resection, and occasionally by a neck incision.

Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Emerging Drugs Chapters

This segment of the Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma report encloses its detailed analysis of various drugs in different stages of clinical development, including phase II, I, preclinical and Discovery. It also helps to understand clinical trial details, expressive pharmacological action, agreements and collaborations, and the latest news and press releases.

Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Emerging Drugs

• Tislelizumab: BeiGene

Tislelizumab (BGB-A317) is a humanized IgG4 anti–PD-1 monoclonal antibody specifically designed to minimize binding to FcγR on macrophages. In pre-clinical studies, binding to FcγR on macrophages has been shown to compromise the anti-tumor activity of PD-1 antibodies through activation of antibody-dependent macrophage-mediated killing of T effector cells. Tislelizumab is the first drug candidate produced from BeiGene’s immuno-oncology biologic program, and we believe it could serve as a key element of our immuno-oncology combination platform. Tislelizumab is being developed as a monotherapy and in combination with other therapies for the treatment of a broad array of both solid tumor and hematologic cancers. Currently, it is in Phase III stage of clinical trial evaluation to treat Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

• Serplulimab: Shanghai Henlius Biotech

Serplulimab (novel anti-PD-1 mAb) is the first innovative monoclonal antibody (mAb) developed by Henlius. Shanghai Henlius Biotech, announced that the phase 3 clinical study ASTRUM-007 of HANSIZHUANG (serplulimab) independently developed by the company in combination with chemotherapy as a first-line treatment for patients with locally advanced/metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), met the co-primary endpoints of progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in a planned interim analysis, evaluated by the Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC).
