Conditions

Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma, Neoadjuvant Therapy

Brief summary

The goal of this interventional study is to compare the safety and efficacy of neoadjuvant immunotherapy plus chemotherapy and anlotinib versus immunotherapy combined with concurrent chemoradiotherapy in the treatment of locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. The main question it aims to answer is: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of neoadjuvant immunotherapy plus chemotherapy and anlotinib versus immunotherapy combined with concurrent chemoradiotherapy in patients with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and to explore the optimal preoperative neoadjuvant treatment regimen for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

Detailed description

The goal of this single-center, open-label, non-inferior, randomized controlled, interventional study is to compare the safety and efficacy of neoadjuvant immunotherapy plus chemotherapy and anlotinib versus immunotherapy combined with concurrent chemoradiotherapy in the treatment of locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. The main question it aims to answer is: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of neoadjuvant immunotherapy plus chemotherapy and anlotinib versus immunotherapy combined with concurrent chemoradiotherapy in patients with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and to explore the optimal preoperative neoadjuvant treatment regimen for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

Exclusion criteria

* BMI<18.5kg/m2 or 10% weight loss in 2 months before screening (while considering the effect of large chest ascites on body weight) * Patients with tracheal / bronchial / macrovascular invasion, deep ulcer esophagus, digestive tract perforation and / or fistula, major bleeding, and poor lung function or previous chronic lung disease within 6 months prior to initial medication * Patients with significant feeding obstruction unable to take oral anlotinib * Known history of allergy to any component of biological or PD-1 mab formulation, albumin-bound paclitaxel, carboplatin and other platinum drugs manufactured by Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO) * Have received any of the following treatments: any investigational drug; enrolled in another clinical study except for an observational (non-interventional) clinical study; received anti-tumor or live vaccine * A history of active autoimmune diseases and autoimmune diseases * A history of immunodeficiency, including a positive HIV test, or other acquired, congenital immunodeficiency disorders, or a history of organ transplantation and allogeneic bone marrow transplantation * The subject had cardiovascular clinical symptoms or disease that were not well controlled * Patients with active hepatitis B or hepatitis C and active pulmonary tuberculosis * Severe infection (CTCAE> 2) occurred within 4 weeks prior to initial use of study drug, such as severe pneumonia, bacteremia, infection requiring hospitalization; baseline chest imaging indicated active lung inflammation, symptoms and signs of infection within 2 weeks prior to initial use of study drug or the need for oral or intravenous antibiotics, except for prophylactic antibiotics * Major surgery (except diagnostic surgery) within 28 days prior to treatment, or is expected to undergo major surgery during the study * Any other malignancy had been diagnosed within 5 years prior to the first use of study drug, except for nausea tumors with low risk and mortality (5-year survival> 90%), such as adequately treated basal or squamous cell skin carcinoma or carcinoma of the cervix * Female patients during pregnancy or lactation and who were refused or unable to use contraception * At the discretion of the investigator, the subject had other factors that could contribute to his forced termination
