Brief summary
This Phase I study is to determine the maximum tolerated fraction dose (MTD) for split-course hypo-CCRT following induction chemo-immunotherapy in LA-ESCC patients, to clarify the dosimetric advantage of split-course hypo-CCRT, and to investigate the treatment-related toxicities and quality of life of the new regimen.
Detailed description
This Phase I study is to determine the maximum tolerated fraction dose (MTD) for split-course hypo-CCRT following induction chemo-immunotherapy in LA-ESCC patients, to clarify the dosimetric advantage of split-course hypo-CCRT, and to investigate the treatment-related toxicities and quality of life of the new regimen.
Interventions
Split-course hypo-CCRT is administered at the following three dose levels: * Level 1: DT 3000cGy/10 daily fractions/300cGy in the first course, DT 2000cGy/10 daily fractions/200cGy in the second course; * Level 2: DT 2800cGy/7 daily fractions/400cGy in the first course, DT 2200cGy/10 daily fractions/220cGy in the second course; * Level 3: DT 2500cGy/5 daily fractions/500cGy in the first course, DT 2500cGy10 daily fractions/250cGy in the second course.
All patients receive 2-3 cycles of Abraxane 260mg/m2 d1+cisplatin 60mg/m2 d1+Toripalimab 240mg d1.
Concurrent capecitabine was administered orally at 1000mg/m2 twice daily within half an hour after meals concurrently with radiotherapy.
