Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Progression-Free Survival (PFS) - defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of first documentation of disease progression assessed by the blinded independent review committee (BIRC) per RECIST v1.1 or death, whichever occurs first [ Time Frame: Approximately 31 months from date of the first participant randomization ]
  2. Overall Survival (OS) - defined as the time from the date of randomization until the date of death due to any cause [ Time Frame: Approximately 31 months from date of the first participant randomization ]

Other Outcome Measures:
  1. Objective Response Rate (ORR) - defined as the proportion of participants whose best overall response (BOR) is complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) assessed by BIRC per RECIST v1.1 [ Time Frame: Approximately 31 months from date of the first participant randomization ]
  2. Duration of Response (DOR)- defined as the time from the first determination of an objective response until the first documentation of progression assessed by BIRC per RECIST v1.1 or death, whichever comes first [ Time Frame: Approximately 31 months from date of the first participant randomization ]
  3. Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) assessment of the participant's overall health status using European Quality of Life-Core 30 Questionnaire index (EORTC QLQ-C30). [ Time Frame: Approximately 31 months from date of the first participant randomization ]
  4. Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) assessment of the participant's overall health status using the European Organization for the Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire esophageal cancer specific module (EORTC QLQ-OES18). [ Time Frame: Approximately 31 months from date of the first participant randomization ]
  5. Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) assessment of the participant's overall health status using the generic health state instrument European Quality of Life- 5 Dimensions (EuroQol 5D EQ-5D-5L). [ Time Frame: Approximately 31 months from date of the first participant randomization ]
  6. The incidence and severity of adverse events (AEs) according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) v4.03 [ Time Frame: Approximately 31 months from date of the first participant randomization ]

Criteria

Participants with unresectable, locally advanced recurrent or metastatic ESCC who have Stage IV unresectable ESCC at first diagnosis (ie, Stage IV disease at the original diagnosis of ESCC) or who have unresectable, locally advanced recurrent or metastatic disease with at least a 6-month treatment-free interval, if prior definitive therapy (chemotherapy, chemo-radiation therapy or surgery) was given.

Key Inclusion Criteria:

  2. Prior systemic therapy for unresectable, locally advanced recurrent or metastatic ESCC
  3. Received prior therapies targeting programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1), programmed cell death protein ligand-1 (PD-L1) or PD-L2
  4. Participants with evidence of fistula (either esophageal/bronchial or esophageal/aorta)
  5. Uncontrollable pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, or ascites requiring frequent drainage or medical intervention (clinically significant recurrence requiring an additional intervention within 2 weeks of intervention)
  6. Evidence of complete esophageal obstruction not amenable to treatment
  7. Unintentional weight loss ≥ 5% within one month prior to randomization or Nutritional Risk Index (NRI) < 83.5 per investigator's choice
  8. Locally advanced esophageal carcinoma that is resectable or potentially curable with radiation therapy per local investigator.
