This is a single arm，phase 2 study evaluating the safety and efficacy of Ivonescimab(AK112) combined with chemotherapy in the treatment of advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). In this study, patients with advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma who had not received any systematic treatment in the past will be enrolled.
The research will be conducted in two stages. In the first part, 6 patients were enrolled in the group. After the last subject in the group completed at least 21 days of observation after the first medication, the researchers will conduct a preliminary safety and effectiveness assessment. If the safety and tolerability are good, it will enter the second expansion part till the study enrolled 30 patients. Patients who met the inclusion criteria were treated with AK112 (20mg/kg, intravenous infusion, d1, Q3W) in combination with albumin paclitaxel (220mg/m2, intravenous infusion, d1, Q3W) and cisplatin (75mg/m2, intravenous infusion, d1, Q3W), of which the maximum treatment time of chemotherapy was up to six cycles, and the maximum treatment time of AK112 was 24 months.
