New treatment option for Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Official title Adjuvant Chemotherapy in Combination With Tislelizumab in Lymph Node-Positive Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05984342
What this study is testing
What is Tislelizumab?
Tislelizumab is an investigational medicine, being studied as a potential treatment for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
Also referred to as nab-paclitaxel, Cisplatin.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- Esophageal cancer is one of the most common malignancies in China, and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is the predominant histological type. Surgical resection is still a standard therapeutic approach for patients with resectable ESCC, but the prognosis is still disappointing.
- Phase 1: an early, usually small safety study
- Which group you join is decided by chance.
