New treatment option for Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma (ESCC)
Official title Adebrelimab Combined With Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in Borderline Resectable Locally Advanced Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07638436
What this study is testing
What is Adebrelimab Injection?
Adebrelimab Injection is an investigational medicine, being studied as a potential treatment for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (escc).
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 clinical trial aims to preliminarily evaluate the efficacy and safety of adebrelimab combined with albumin-bound paclitaxel and carboplatin as neoadjuvant therapy for borderline resectable locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). The primary research objectives are to increase the R0 resection rate in such patients, thereby reducing the recurrence rate and improving overall survival (OS), as well as avoiding adverse reactions associated with radiotherapy.
