NCT06861894

Brief Summary

In this prospective trial, patients demonstrating clinical complete response (cCR) as determined by a standard response assessment protocol (incorporating clinical and molecular diagnostic methods) will be offered organ-sparing management following neoadjuvant therapy with adebrelimab (anti-PD-L1) concurrent with chemoradiotherapy. The primary endpoint is 2-year overall survival rate in this watch-and-wait cohort.
