Brief Summary

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

This study was conducted in elderly (≥70 years old) patients with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Aim to find the difference in efficacy and safety between tirilizumab combined with concurrent chemoradiation and standard concurrent chemoradiation.

Concurrent chemoradiation is the standard treatment for elderly esophageal cancer. Tirelizumab is the first-line and second-line standard treatment for advanced esophageal squamous carcinoma. However, the effect of tirilizumab combined with concurrent chemoradiation for elder with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma is unkown.

In the study, the investigators plan to enroll 136 elderly subjects with locally advanced esophageal cancer from five hospitals in China. The enrolled patients will be randomly divided into two groups: tirilizumab combined with concurrent chemoradiation group (Tislelizumab + radiotherapy + tigio) and concurrent chemoradiation group (radiotherapy + tigio). The treatment efficiency and safety will be evaluated.

11. Adequate renal function, defined as creatinine ≤1.5× ULN or measured or calculated creatinine clearance ≥60 mL/min for those with creatinine levels \>1.5× ULN (Calculated from the Cockcroft-Gault formula);
12. Adequate hepatic function, defined as total bilirubin ≤1.5× ULN and ALT/AST/AKP levels ≤2.5× ULN and albumin ≥2.8 g/dl;
13. Adequate coagulation function, defined as INR ≤1.5× ULN and APTT≤1.5× ULN unless the patient is receiving anticoagulant therapy as long as INR is within the therapeutic range;
