Clinical trials

This is a Phase II, open-label, single-arm, multicenter study evaluating the safety and efficacy of combining Tislelizumab with induction chemoradiotherapy (CRT), followed by conversion surgery, in patients with locally advanced, unresectable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Patients will receive induction CRT with weekly paclitaxel and cisplatin along with Tislelizumab, followed by two cycles of consolidation Tislelizumab-chemotherapy. If the tumor becomes resectable, patients will undergo surgery. The primary goal is to assess the 2-year overall survival (OS) rate. Secondary outcomes include pathological complete response (pCR), conversion rate, R0 resection rate, disease-free survival (DFS), recurrence-free survival (RFS), and treatment-related adverse events.
