Last Updated: 2022-12-14

Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: UNKNOWN
• Clinical Phase: PHASE2
• Total Enrollment: 50 participants
• Study Classification: INTERVENTIONAL
• Study Start Date: 2022-12-25
• Study Completion Date: 2024-12-25

Brief Summary

NICE-RT study is a "safety run-in" and phase II trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of Camrelizumab combined with Nab-paclitaxel and Carboplatin and Radiotherapy in patients with resectable locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

Detailed Description

Considering that immunotherapy combined with concurrent chemoradiotherapy may have unknown AEs, in order to explore the safety and tolerability of the regimen of camrelizumab combined with nab-paclitaxel and carboplatin and radiotherapy, this study set up an initial "safety run-in" phase. 10 patients will be firstly enrolled, and treatment-related adverse reactions（TRAEs）and surgical complications will be observed at the same time. If the completion rate of neoadjuvant therapy and surgery is greater than 80%, rate of 30-day major complication is less than 20%,and no death, it will continue to enroll 40 patients to explore the efficacy and safety of the regimen. If the completion rate of neoadjuvant therapy and surgery is less than 80%, the MDT will determine whether the study move forward. If treatment related death is more than 1 patients, the study will be terminated.

Undergo surgery within 4-6 weeks after neoadjuvant therapy

3. Adjuvant treatment period:

Camrelizumab: (200mg, Q3W)，continued for up to 1 years，until PD or intolerable toxicity.
