Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Efficacy and Safety of Anlotinib combined with PD-1 inhibitors as 2 or more lines treatment for Heavily Pretreated Patients With Advanced, Metastatic Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Esophagus.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The APEC study is a multi-center, retrospective ,real-world study of anlotinib combined with PD-1 inhibitors for patients with histologically confirmed advanced and metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) that progressed after 1or more lines of therapy, conducted at 8 sites in China. Patients received anlotinib combined with PD-1 inhibitors , every 3 weeks for up to 2 years, until progression of disease, unacceptable toxic effects occurred, or withdrawal of consent. The primary end point was the progression-free survival (PFS)among all patients. Secondary end points included Adverse events (AEs),objective response rate (ORR) ,duration of response (DOR), , and overall survival (OS). Tumor response was assessed per the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST), version 1.1.
