New treatment option for Esophageal Cancer

Official title Induction Immunochemotherapy Followed by Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy in Patients With ESCC.

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06452602

What this study is testing

What is Induction immunochemotherapy followed by Adebrelimab plus concurrent chemoradiotherapy?

Induction immunochemotherapy followed by Adebrelimab plus concurrent chemoradiotherapy is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for esophageal cancer.

Also referred to as Adebrelimab plus concurrent chemoradiotherapy, CR+PR group.

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
This trial is conducted in patients with unresectable locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. The investigators plan to enroll 60 patients with unresectable locally advanced esophageal cancer in Tianjin cancer hospital.
