A Phase 2 study testing Sintilimab and anlotinib in combination with chemotherapy in people with Sintilimab and Anlotinib in Combination With Chemotherapy, run by Tang-Du Hospital at 2 sites in China.
Trial summary
The study focused on patients with T2-4NxM0 resectable esophageal carcinoma. Neoadjuvant treatment involved administering anlotinib (10 mg orally, once a day, 2 weeks on and 1 week off) for anti-angiogenesis and sintilimab (200 mg) and chemotherapyfor three cycles. Read more about this study

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.
- Ages 18 to 75 years
- All sexes
- No healthy volunteers
- Adult, Older adult
Who may be able to join
- patients aged 18-75 years with a histopathologic diagnosis of esophageal cancer staged according to the AJCC eighth edition as T1-4N1-3M0. If patients were staged as T2N0M0, the esophageal lesions had to be ≥5 cm.
- Before enrollment, all patients underwent various examinations, including cardiac color ultrasound (left ventricular ejection fraction of at least 50%), pulmonary function (forced expiratory volume-1 [FEV1] ≥1.5 L), enhanced chest computed tomography (CT), abdominal color ultrasound, cervical lymph node color ultrasound ▪ other necessary laboratory tests (such as blood routine, liver and kidney function, electrolytes, and cortisol rhythm) to exclude treatment and surgical ontraindications and ensure suitability for ICIs treatment.
Who cannot join
- Patients unable to tolerate surgery
- those with refractory hypertension and proteinuria
- those who had previously received other treatments
- those who were not suitable candidates for ICIs (due to conditions such as hepatitis B with viral quantification >2000 IU, systemic lupus erythematosus, and xerosis).

About this study
Official title: A Prospective Single-center, Single-arm, Open-label Study of Sintilimab and Anlotinib Combined With Chemotherapy in Neoadjuvant Treatment of Resectable Esophageal Cancer
The study focused on patients with T2-4NxM0 resectable esophageal carcinoma. Neoadjuvant treatment involved administering anlotinib (10 mg orally, once a day, 2 weeks on and 1 week off) for anti-angiogenesis and sintilimab (200 mg) and chemotherapyfor three cycles. Surgical treatment was performed 4-6 weeks after the last chemotherapy cycle was completed. The primary endpoints assessed were pathological complete response (pCR) rate and safety.
Read the detailed description
The study was conducted from April 2021 to April 2022 at our hospital and was approved by the Ethics Committee of Tangdu Hospital. The inclusion criteria were as follows: patients aged 18-75 years with a histopathologic diagnosis of esophageal cancer staged according to the AJCC eighth edition as T1-4N1-3M0. If patients were staged as T2N0M0, the esophageal lesions had to be ≥5 cm. Before enrollment, all patients underwent various examinations, including cardiac color ultrasound (left ventricular ejection fraction of at least 50%), pulmonary function (forced expiratory volume-1 [FEV1] ≥1.5 L), enhanced chest computed tomography (CT), abdominal color ultrasound, cervical lymph node color ultrasound and other necessary laboratory tests (such as blood routine, liver and kidney function, electrolytes, and cortisol rhythm) to exclude treatment and surgical contraindications and ensure suitability for ICIs treatment.
The exclusion criteria were as follows: Patients unable to tolerate surgery, those with refractory hypertension and proteinuria, those who had previously received other treatments, and those who were not suitable candidates for ICIs (due to conditions such as hepatitis B with viral quantification >2000 IU, systemic lupus erythematosus, and xerosis).
Treatment regimen:
Patients were administered preoperatively with sintilimab (200 mg, Day 1) and anlotinib (10 mg, orally, once daily, 2 weeks on and 1 week off) in combination with chemotherapy (albumin paclitaxel 130 mg/m2, Days 1 and 8 + nedaplatin 80 mg/m2, Day 1) for three cycles of neoadjuvant therapy. Surgical intervention (either Mckeown or Ivor Lewis approach) was performed 4-6 weeks after completing the last treatment cycle of neoadjuvant therapy. After the 4th week after surgery, patients received maintenance therapy with sintilimab (200 mg, Q3W) for 1 year. If any adverse reactions of grade 3 or higher occurred during the treatment, the dose of chemotherapeutic drugs was reduced by 25% until the patient's condition recovered to grade 1 or returned to normal, and the subsequent treatment cycle was continued. In case of grade 3 or higher hypertension or proteinuria, the dose of anlotinib was reduced to 8 mg. It was discontinued if the condition could not recover to grade 1-2 after symptomatic treatment.

What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

What does the primary outcome measure?
Primary Endpoints: pCR (time frame: up to 24 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 29 Aug 2023.
