Nivolumab in unresectable advanced, recurrent or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma

Esophageal cancer (EC) is the eighth most common cancer worldwide. In view of biology and anatomical restrictions, multimodality treatment strategies have been developed for EC. However, the prognosis of patients with advanced EC remains especially poor. Immunotherapy, such as PD-1/PD-L1 and CTLA-4/B7 blockade, has emerged as a potent treatment for many types of cancer and has been approved in many countries. Based on the results of the ATTRACTION-3 trial, nivolumab, an anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody, was approved by the US FDA for patients with platinum-resistant, unresectable, recurrent or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. The CheckMate 648 trial demonstrated that the combination of nivolumab with platinum-based fluoropyrimidine chemotherapy and combination immunotherapy with nivolumab and ipilimumab, an anti-CTLA-4 monoclonal antibody, showed a survival benefit in patients with advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma compared with doublet chemotherapy. This review focuses on nivolumab-containing treatments for patients with advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
