Overview

Brief Summary

We plan to conduct a single-center,prospective, Open Label, Randomized Controlled, Phase II Clinical Study of the Combination of Nimotuzumab,Camrelizumab, and Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in the Treatment of Locally Advanced Resectable Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Detailed Description

This study is a prospective, randomized controlled, open label clinical trial aimed at evaluating the efficacy and safety of the combination of nimotuzumab,camrelizumab, and neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with locally advanced resectable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. The enrolled patients will receive neoadjuvant therapy (camrelizumab ±nimotuzumab+Albumin Paclitaxel+Cisplatin) and esophageal cancer radical surgery (performed within 4 weeks after the last drug treatment). This study includes screening period, treatment period, efficacy follow-up period, and survival follow-up period.

Exclusion Criteria

  • 1\. Patients with any active autoimmune diseases or autoimmune diseases (such as but not limited to: autoimmune hepatitis, interstitial pneumonia, uveitis, enteritis, hepatitis, pituitary inflammation, vasculitis, nephritis, hyperthyroidism; patients with vitiligo; asthma that has been completely relieved in childhood and does not require any intervention in adulthood can be included; asthma that requires medical intervention with bronchodilators cannot be included);
  • The patient is currently using immunosuppressants or systemic hormone therapy to achieve immunosuppression (dose\>10mg/day of prednisone or other therapeutic hormones), and has continued to use them within the 2 weeks prior to enrollment;
