Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of Camrelizumab plus concurrent chemotherapy as neoadjuvant approach for patients with opearble esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. In addition, potential clinical utility of ctDNA in monitoring tumor burden and dynamics of tumor clonality during neoadjuvant immunotherapy will be assessed as well. At the same time, CD8 and PD-L1 will also be used as monitoring indicators.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Immunotherapy improves clinical outcome of patients with advanced stage or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). In addition, superior effect of immunotherapy for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma was also reported recently. While, clinical application of ctDNA, PD-L1 and CD8 T cell monitoring in neoadjuvant immunotherapy for patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma is largely unknown. This trial will evaluate firstly the efficacy and the safety of Camrelizumab plus chemotherapy (albumin-bound paclitaxel plus cisplatin)as neoadjuvant approach. The evaluation indicators include pathological complete response rate (pCR) and objective imaging response rate after neoadjuvant therapy (ORR). ), 2-year progression-free survival (2y-PFS), postoperative progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) after treatment. Objective response rate (ORR) based upon immune-Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version (RECIST v1.1). Major pathological response assessed by post-operational pathological review ctDNA efficacy will also be evaluated along with clinical management. Monitoring tumor burden, clonality as well as tumor heterogeneity evaluation will be correlated to radiological assessment and pathological findings.

Study Design

Allocation Method

NA

Intervention Model

SINGLE_GROUP

Patients with II-IVA stage with pathologically diagnosed squamous cell lung carcinoma will be enrolled in this study. Camrelizumab plus chemotherapy will be administrated intravenously per 3 weeks at the dosage of 200mg. Contrast-CT evaluation and peripheral blood collected will be performed at pre-neoadjuvant therapy and pre-operation. 6 weeks after neoadjuvant therapy, participants who meet the indication will be assigned to operation. Another peripheral blood sample will be harvested 3-4 weeks after operation.

camrelizumab plus concurrent chemotherapy

Neoadjuvant immunotherapy, PD-1, plus concurrent chemotherapy(albumin-bound paclitaxel + Cisplatin) will be applied to patients with operable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma before surgery.

camrelizumab

Intervention Type DRUG

Participants will receive camrelizumab, 200mg, intravenously over 30 - 60 minutes, day 1 of every 3 weeks for 6 weeks. Discontinuation will be considered due to toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or end of study. Every 3-week treatment period was considered to be a cycle.
