Recruiting PHASE2 Late-stage Resectable Esophageal Squamous Carcinoma

New treatment option for Late-stage Resectable Esophageal Squamous Carcinoma

Official title Exploratory Clinical Study of Camrelizumab Combined With Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy as an Organ-preserving Strategy for Locally Advanced Resectable Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07622797

What this study is testing

What is Camrelizumab (anti-PD-1 inhibitor)?

Camrelizumab (anti-PD-1 inhibitor) is an investigational medicine, given as an once-weekly infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for late-stage resectable esophageal squamous carcinoma.

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 study is a prospective, exploratory clinical study aimed at evaluating the feasibility and safety of camrelizumab combined with synchronous chemoradiotherapy as an organ-preserving strategy for locally advanced resectable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. The study targets patients with locally advanced resectable stage II/III/IVa (cT1b-4aN0-3M0) ESCC.
  • Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
  • Time commitment: about 3 weeks
  • Which group you join is decided by chance.
