4055 Background: Paclitaxel (PTX) is effective in concurrent chemoradiation (CCR) against esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) . Which regimen, among cisplatin (DDP) (TP), carboplatin (CBP) (TC) or 5-Fu (TF) in combination with PTX concurrent with radiotherapy, provides best prognosis with minimum adverse events (AEs) is still unknown. Methods: The study compared two pairs of regimens: TF vs. TP and TF vs. TC concurrent with radiotherapy. Patients with histologically confirmed ESCC (clinical stage II, III or IVa) were randomized into the three groups. Patients in TP group were treated with 2 cycles of CCR followed by 2 cycles of consolidation chemotherapy with TP (DDP 25 mg/m2/d, d1-3, PTX 175 mg/m2, d1, q28d). Patients in TF group were treated with 6 cycles of TF (5-Fu 300 mg/m2, civ 96h, PTX 50 mg/m2, d1, qw) in CCR followed by 2 cycles of TF (5-FU 1800 mg/m2, civ 72h, PTX 175 mg/m2, d1, q28d) in consolidation chemotherapy. Patients in TC group were treated with 6 cycles of TC (CBP AUC = 2, d1, PTX 50 mg/m2, d1, qw) in CCR followed by 2 cycles of TC (CBP AUC = 5, d1, PTX 175 mg/m2 d1, q28d) in consolidation chemotherapy. The radiotherapy dose in all groups was 61.2 Gy delivered in 34 fractions. The primary endpoint was overall survival and the secondary endpoints were progression-free survival and adverse events. Results: Between July 2015 and January 2018, 321 ESCC patients in 11 centers were enrolled. TP group had a significant higher incidence of acute grade 3/4 neutropenia (59.7% vs. 16.8%(TF) or 32.4%(TC)), thrombocytopenia (12.7% vs. 3.5%(TF) or 6.2%(TC)), anemia (6.4% vs. 4.4%(TF) or 4.4%(TC)), fatigue (10.0% vs. 0.9%(TF) or 0.9%(TC)) and vomiting (5.5% vs. 0%(TF) or 0.9%(TC)) than other two groups ( P < 0.05). TF group had a significant higher incidence of grade 3/4/5 esophagitis (13.1% vs. 1.8%(TP) or 5.3%(TC)) and pneumonitis (4.4% vs. 0%(TP) or 1.8%(TC)) than other two groups ( P < 0.05). One patient in TF group died of acute pneumonitis. One patient in TF group and one in TC group died of acute esophagitis. Conclusions: TP and TF regimen showed different severe AEs in CCR in ESCC patients and TC showed mild AEs. Clinical trial information: NCT02459457.

Background The tumor protein 53 (TP53 or p53) plays an important role in tumor suppression by binding to the regulatory region of its target genes. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) located in the p53 binding regions are likely to affect the expression of p53 target genes and may contribute to susceptibility to common diseases. The role of the genetic variations in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) has been well explored. However, the role of p53 binding region variations in esophageal cancer is poorly understood. Methods We investigated the association of 6 p53 binding region polymorphisms with susceptibility of 400 ESCC cases and 400 cancer-free controls in a Southwest Chinese population using the SNapShot assay. Differences in frequencies of the SPNs genotypes between cases and controls were evaluated using the chi-square test. Results We found that the C allele of rs1009316 in Bax and rs762624 in CDKN1A can decrease the risk of ESCC. In the multiple genetic model, we found that the rs2395655 in CDKN1A is related with the risk of ESCC, and that the G allele increases the susceptibility to ESCC (OR: 1.364; 95% CI: 1.104-1.685). We carried out a stratification analysis between alleles and risk of ESCC according to clinical stage. There was no relationship between these SNPs and clinical stage. Conclusion SNPs in the p53 binding region may modulate the risk of ESCC in the Southwest Chinese population.
