This phase II trial studies the effect of chemoradiation and pembrolizumab followed by pembrolizumab and lenvatinib before surgery in treating patients with esophageal or esophageal/gastroesophageal junction cancer that has not spread to other places in the body (non-metastatic). Pembrolizumab is an immunotherapy drug that works by harnessing the immune system to attack cancer. Lenvatinib is an anti-cancer drug that works by stopping or slowing down the growth of cancer cells. Chemotherapy drugs, such as carboplatin and paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving chemoradiation and pembrolizumab followed by pembrolizumab and lenvatinib before surgery may kill more tumor cells.

Primary | Pathological complete response (CR) | Defined as no residual cancer cells, including lymph nodes under pathologic examination of the surgically resected specimen and/or a Tumor Regression Score of 0 by the College of American Pathologist (CAP) Cancer Protocol for Esophageal Carcinoma. Pathological CR rate will be estimated by the proportion of patients achieving pathological CR, along with the 95% exact binomial confidence interval. | At 14 weeks after starting protocol chemoradiotherapy | |
Primary | Clinical complete response (CR) | Defined as no radiographic evidence of disease on positron emission tomography /computed tomography or CT imaging. Clinical CR rate will be estimated by the proportion of patients achieving clinical CR, along with the 95% exact binomial confidence interval. | At 14 weeks after starting protocol chemoradiotherapy | |
Secondary | Immune-mediated tumor cytotoxicity | Each patient will serve as their own control, and tumor cytotoxic T cell infiltration will be compared between the post-chemoradiation biopsy (pre-pembrolizumab/lenvatinib) and post-treatment (definitive surgery or follow up biopsies if clinical CR) via increased expression of the 18 gene proimmune response signature measured using the Nanostring platform on tumor tissue biopsies. Descriptive statistics will be used to summarize the gene expression profile in tissue/blood. Changes in these measures during and after treatment (when measured) will also be summarized by descriptive statistics and tables/plots. Various statistical analyses will be used to explore the association between these gene expression measures (at different time points and the changes over time) with clinical outcomes. | Up to 3 years | |
Secondary | Incidence of adverse events | Assessed per Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0. | Up to 90 days post-treatment | |
Secondary | Disease-free survival (DFS) | DFS will be determined using the Kaplan-Meier method. | Up to 3 years | |
Secondary | Overall survival (OS) | OS will be determined using the Kaplan-Meier method. | Up to 3 years |
