Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Big breakthroughs have been made in the combination therapy of immune checkpoint inhibitors when it comes to the neoadjuvant therapy of esophageal cancer. Several studies, such as Cross, have shown that although preoperative adjuvant chemoradiotherapy could improve the local control rate of lesions, the incidence of distant metastasis still remains high in the long term. Compared with preoperative adjuvant chemoradiotherapy, the treatment of combination with immunotherapy has shown a lot of advantages such as shorter hospital stay, fewer complications and lower cost, which may replace preoperative chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy for esophageal cancer as a new treatment .This is a single-arm, exploratory phase II clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Envafolimab combination with Abraxane and cisplatin as preoperative neoadjuvant therapy for patients with resectable esophageal squamous cell carcer. In the study, all subjects meeting enrollment criteria will receive 2 cycles of neoadjuvant therapy with Envafolimab combined with Abraxane and cisplatin as scheduled. Around 4-6 weeks after the last neoadjuvant therapy, they will receive radical surgery. Evaluation will be conducted after the completion of the surgical cycle to determine the pathological complete response rate , R0 resection rate and major pathological response rate of these treated patients.

The objective is To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Enbrelizumab in combination with Abraxane and cisplatin for preoperative neoadjuvant therapy in patients with resectable esophageal squamous cancer.

  • ECOG score 0-1;

  • Expected survival ≥ 12 weeks;

  • Patients with confirmed diagnosis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma by histopathologic examination of primary tumor biopsy, who are definitely diagnosed with clinical stage of esophageal cancer by CT or MRI or color Doppler ultrasound or PET-CT or endoscopic ultrasonography T1-3N1-3M0 or T3N0M0 (AJCC 8 th) and are suitable for treatment with this study protocol as assessed by the investigator.
