About this study

Based on our previous single-arm Phase Ib study (CRIS trial, NCT06303583), we observed that neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy followed by immunotherapy (nCRIT) significantly increased the pathological complete response (pCR) rate, achieving approximately 60% in locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma(ESCC). We plan to initiate a multicenter, prospective, randomized phase II trial designed to compare the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy (nCIT) versus neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy followed by immunotherapy (nCRIT) in treating esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. The primary study population includes patients with operable or potentially operable thoracic ESCC classified as cT3-4aN0 or T2-4aN+ based on endoscopy, enhanced chest and abdominal CT, and whole-body PET scans. Eligible participants are aged 18-75 years with an ECOG performance status of 0-1. Qualified patients will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either the nCRIT group or the nCIT group. Patients in the nCRIT group will receive neoadjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy: radiation therapy will be administered using IMRT or VMAT with involved-field irradiation at a dose of PTV 41.4 Gy/23 fractions/31 days. Chemotherapy will consist of weekly administration of paclitaxel (albumin-bound) 50 mg/m² and carboplatin (AUC=2) for five weeks, given on the days of radiotherapy. Patients who do not progress on CT and meet immunotherapy criteria will receive fixed-dose tislelizumab (200 mg IV) on …
