About this trial

This trial is conducted in patients with resectable locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. The investigators plan to enroll 46 patients with resectable locally advanced esophageal cancer in Tianjin cancer hospital. Patients will be treated with serplulimab, nimotuzumab plus concurrent chemoradiotherapy (41.4Gy/1.8Gy/23F) . Six to eight weeks after the completion of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, patients who are considered operable by surgeons will undergo radical resection of esophageal cancer. Postoperative pathological assessment includes MPR rate, pCR rate, and pathological response grade, etc. This trial aims to explore the safety and efficacy of adding serplulimab and nimotuzumab to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, with a focus on whether the combined treatment regimen can enhance the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy.
