Advanced Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Conditions
Brief summary
This is a phase II study to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Afininib compared to irinotecan in the 3-gene RNA sequencing (ALTRK) negative advanced esophageal squamous squamous carcinoma.
Detailed description
Participants were assigned to either group A or group B at 2:1 randomization (block randomization). Group A received afatinib (40 mg orally/day) every 6 weeks; Group B received irinotecan (140-180mg/m2 intravenous) every 2 weeks.
Interventions
Afatinib will be administered orally at 40 mg per day (qd) in each 6-week cycle.
Irinotecan, intravenous drip, 140-180mg/㎡, D1, Q14D
