NCT04177797

Brief Summary

This is a single-institution, single arm trial of Toripalimab with neoadjuvant carboplatin and paclitaxel for locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).The primary study hypothesis is that the patients who received Toripalimab combined with carboplatin and paclitaxel will increase complete pathologic response rate.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Complete pathologic response rate

    Definition of complete pathologic response is "no cancer cell, including lympho nodes" which corresponds with tumor regression score 0. Definition of pathologic response is as follows. Tumor regression score Grade 0 and 1 will be defined as "responder" and 2 and 3 will be considered as "non-responders"

    3 months

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Disease control rate

    3 months

  • Objective response rate

    3 months

  • Incidence of adverse events

    6 months

Study Arms (1)

Toripalimb

EXPERIMENTAL

Single arm, non randomized, open label study.The patients will receive Toripalimb concurrently caboplatin and paclitaxel treatment.

Drug: Toripalimab

Interventions

Two cycles of Toripalimab(240 mg administered as an intravenous infusion over 30 minutes per 3 weeks), concurrently paclitaxel(135 mg/m2) and carboplatin(AUC 5) administered as an intravenous infusion per 3 weeks.
