    Purpose: In this study, we report the results from the esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) cohort of a phase II, noncomparative, basket study evaluating the antitumor activity and safety of fibroblast activation protein-IL2 variant (FAP-IL2v) plus atezolizumab in patients with advanced/metastatic solid tumors (NCT03386721). Patients and Methods: Eligible patients had an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 to 1; measurable metastatic, persistent, or recurrent esophageal SCC; progression on >= 1 prior therapy; and were checkpoint inhibitor-na & iuml;ve. Patients received FAP-IL2v 10 mg plus atezolizumab 1,200 mg intravenously every 3 weeks, or FAP-IL2v weekly for 4 weeks and then every 2 weeks plus atezolizumab 840 mg intravenously every 2 weeks. The primary endpoint was investigator-assessed objective response rate (ORR). Results: In the response-evaluable population (N = 34), the best confirmed ORR was 20.6% [95% confidence interval (CI), 10.4-36.8], with a complete response seen in 1 patient and partial responses in 6 patients. The disease control rate was 44.1% (complete response = 2.9%; partial response = 17.6%; stable disease = 23.5%), and the median duration of response was 10.1 mon/ths (95% CI, 5.6-26.7). The median progression-free survival was 1.9 months (95% CI, 1.8-3.7). Analysis of response by PDL1 expression (Ventana SP263) resulted in an ORR of 26.7% for patients with PDL1-positive tumors (tumor area positivity cutoff >= 1%; n = 15) and 7.1% for patients with PDL1-negative tumors (tumor area positivity cutoff <1%; n = 14). Overall, the treatment combination was tolerable, and adverse events were consistent with the known safety profiles of each drug. Conclusions: FAP-IL2v plus atezolizumab demonstrated clinical activity and was tolerable in patients with previously treated esophageal SCC.
