Detailed description
This Phase II non-randomized study is to determine the efficacy and toxicity of neoadjuvant toripalimab plus chemotherapy followed by chemoradiotherapy for locally advanced unresectable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. All patients were planned to receive 2 cycle of toripalimab plus paclitaxel/nedaplatin as neoadjuvant therapy. Then they all receive radical dose of chest radiation and concurrent chemotherapy of capecitabine (PO 1000 mg/m2, bid, d1-d14, q3w).
Interventions
Toripalimab 240 mg, d1, Q3w for two cycles
Paclitaxel-albumin 260 mg/m2, d1, Q3w for two cycles
Nedaplatin 75mg/m2, d1, Q3w for two cycles
Radiation therapy at a total dose 60 Gy
Capecitabine 1000 mg/m2, bid, d1-14, q3w during radiotherapy
Radiation therapy at a total dose 50 Gy
