Brief Summary

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

This is a randomized, controlled, multi-center phase II/III study. All patients are resectable locally advanced thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-1. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of perioperative Cadonilimab combined with neoadjuvant chemotherapy versus neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with resectable ESCC.
