About this study

Official title: A Prospective Study on the Safety and Effectiveness of Toripalimab Combined With Neoadjuvant Radiotherapy and Chemotherapy in the Treatment of Locally Advanced Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma

The purpose of this study is to observe and evaluate the efficacy and safety of Toripalimab Combined With Neoadjuvant Radiotherapy and Chemotherapy in the Locally and Advanced Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Read the detailed description

In China, the incidence of esophageal cancer has declined in recent years, but the mortality rate has been ranked fourth. Morbidity and mortality were ranked sixth and fourth in all malignancies, respectively. Therefore, esophageal cancer has always been a major malignant tumor that threatens the health of our residents. Investigator designed a single-arm, open-label, phase II trial of Toripalimab Combined With Neoadjuvant Radiotherapy and Chemotherapy for locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. The purpose of this study is to observe and evaluate the efficacy and safety of Toripalimab Combined With Neoadjuvant Radiotherapy and Chemotherapy for locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

What is being measured

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

  1. Pathologic Complete Response(pCR)

    defined as the absence of any viable tumor at the time of surgical resection,as assessed by central and local pathology laboratory

    Measured: At time of surgery

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Major Patholgical Response(MPR)

    defined as ≤ 10% residual viable tumor at the time of surgical resection,as assessed by central and local pathology laboratory

    Measured: At time of surgery

  2. Disease-Free Survival

    Time after R0 resection to disease recurrence or death

    Measured: up to 2 years

  3. R0 resection rate

    R0 is no residue under the microscope after excision

    Measured: At time of surgery

  4. postoperative complications rate

    Complication refers to the occurrence of another or several diseases related to the treatment of this disease during the treatment of a certain disease

    Measured: up to 6months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Toripalimab+Nedaplatin+Albumin Paclitaxel in people with Locally Advanced Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma, run by The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University 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 9 inclusion and 1 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 23 Aug 2021. 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?

Contact Feng Wang (13938244776, fengw010@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Pathologic Complete Response(pCR) (time frame: At time of surgery). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 23 Aug 2021.
