Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to explore the safety and feasibility of anti-programmed cell death 1(PD-1) immunotherapy, Camrelizumab, combined with cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 blockade, Palbociclib, as a new neoadjuvant treatment regimen for patients with resectable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).
Interventions
Camrelizumab will be given at at a dose of 200 mg intravenously on day 23 of a planned 28-day cycle, and two doses before surgery.
Palbociclib will be given at a dose of 100 mg every day orally with three weeks on and one week off. Four weeks is a cycle and it will be given for three cycles.
Palbociclib will be given at a dose of 125 mg every day orally with three weeks on and one week off. Four weeks is a cycle and it will be given for three cycles.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Safety of combination camrelizumab and palbociclib as assessed by number of participants who experience adverse events | up to 15 weeks | Number of participants who experience grade 1 or higher adverse events, as defined by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0 (CTCAE v5.0) |
| Feasibility of combination camrelizumab and palbociclib as assessed by number of participants who experience adverse events | up to 15 weeks | Patients proceed to surgery without experiencing prolonged treatment-related delays. An extended treatment-related delay will be considered if it exceeds 37 days from the initially scheduled surgery date. In terms of feasibility, if there is any treatment toxicity of any grade that could adversely impact prognosis, as judged by the investigators, the planned operative date should be re-evaluated. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Major Pathologic Response | up to 15 weeks | Major Pathologic Response (MPR) was defined as fewer than 10% viable tumor cells. |
| Objective response rate (ORR) | up to 15 weeks | Proportion of participants with measurable disease at baseline and have been re-evaluated after at least 1 cycle of therapy with observed reduction in tumor burden as defined by RECIST and iRECIST criteria after 2 doses of Proportion of participants with measurable disease at baseline and have been re-evaluated after at least 1 cycle of therapy with observed reduction in tumor burden as defined by RECIST and iRECIST criteria after 2 doses of camrelizumab and palbociclib |
| Progression free survival(PFS) | Up to 2 years | Proportion of participants who achieve progression free survival post treatment |
| Overall survival (OS) | Up to 2 years | Proportion of participants who achieve survival post treatment |
