NCT05323890

Brief Summary

This study aimed to evaluate the safety and feasibility of neoadjuvant tislelizumab combined with chemoradiotherapy in patients with resectable esophageal squamous cell cancer. The tumor microenvironment and circulating immunological biomarkers in these patients were further evaluated to explore the factors affecting the efficacy of neoadjuvant therapy for esophageal cancer. This study will provide valuable information for further prospective clinical trials of neoadjuvant anti-PD-1 and other immunotherapy in esophageal cancer patients.

Study Arms (1)

Tislelizumab arm

EXPERIMENTAL

Radiotherapy: PTV 41.4Gy in 23 Fractions,5 days per week; Chemotherapy: Paclitaxel (Albumin bound) (100mg/m2) and Cisplatin (75 mg/m2) for 5 weeks, concurrent with radiotherapy; Immunotherapy: Tislelizumab (200mg per 3 weeks)

Drug: Tislelizumab Combined With Neoadjuvant Radiotherapy and Chemotherapy

Interventions

Patients received tislelizumab at a fixed dose of 200 mg every three weeks (q3w, 21 days) for 2 cycles.

Also known as: Anti-PD-1 Therapy
Tislelizumab arm
