About this study

Official title: A Single Arm Trial of Toripalimab With Neoadjuvant Carboplatin and Paclitaxel for Locally Advanced Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma

This is a single-institution, single arm trial of Toripalimab with neoadjuvant carboplatin and paclitaxel for locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).The primary study hypothesis is that the patients who received Toripalimab combined with carboplatin and paclitaxel will increase complete pathologic response rate.

Read the detailed description

Enrolled patinets will receive two cycles of Toripalimab(240 mg administered as an intravenous infusion over 30 minutes per 3 weeks), paclitaxel(135 mg/m2) and carboplatin(AUC 5) administered as an intravenous infusion per 3 weeks. Giving the drugs on the first day of each cycle.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Complete pathologic response rate

    Definition of complete pathologic response is "no cancer cell, including lympho nodes" which corresponds with tumor regression score 0. Definition of pathologic response is as follows. Tumor regression score Grade 0 and 1 will be defined as "responder" and 2 and 3 will be considered as "non-responders"

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Disease control rate

    According to RECISIST1.1 standard,the disease control rate is the percentage of cases in which relief and stable lesions are obtained after treatment as a percentage of the total evaluable number.

    Measured: 3 months

  2. Objective response rate

    Objective response rate as assessed by RECISIST1.1 criteria, the percentage of subjects with CR or PR in the total number of subjects in the analysis data set during the period from the beginning of the treatment regimen to the disease progression date.

    Measured: 3 months

  3. Incidence of adverse events

    Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by treatment-related adverse events assessed by CTCAE v4.0

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Toripalimab in people with Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma, run by Sichuan Cancer Hospital and Research Institute at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Feb 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Complete pathologic response rate (time frame: 3 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04177797, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Feb 2022.
