About this study
Official title: A Single-arm,Single-center,Phase II Trial of Camrelizumab Combined With Neoadjuvant Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy for Resectable Locally Advanced Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma(NICE-RT)
NICE-RT study is a "safety run-in" and phase II trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of Camrelizumab combined with Nab-paclitaxel and Carboplatin and Radiotherapy in patients with resectable locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
Read the detailed description
Considering that immunotherapy combined with concurrent chemoradiotherapy may have unknown AEs, in order to explore the safety and tolerability of the regimen of camrelizumab combined with nab-paclitaxel and carboplatin and radiotherapy, this study set up an initial "safety run-in" phase. 10 patients will be firstly enrolled, and treatment-related adverse reactions(TRAEs)and surgical complications will be observed at the same time. If the completion rate of neoadjuvant therapy and surgery is greater than 80%, rate of 30-day major complication is less than 20%,and no death, it will continue to enroll 40 patients to explore the efficacy and safety of the regimen. If the completion rate of neoadjuvant therapy and surgery is less than 80%, the MDT will determine whether the study move forward. If treatment related death is more than 1 patients, the study will be terminated.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Chemotherapy (nab-paclitaxel AUC=2 and carboplatin 80mg/m2),Immunotherapy (camrelizumab 200mg)、Radiotherapy(primary lesion and adjacent lymph nodes 41.4Gy, distant lymph node 0.5Gy*4) in people with Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma, run by Shanghai Chest Hospital 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 10 inclusion and 20 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 14 Dec 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?
Contact Jun Liu, M.D. (+862122200000 ext. 3602, drjunliu@qq.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?

The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 14 Dec 2022.
