Neoadjuvant Therapy With Nab-paclitaxel and Cisplatin for Locally Advanced Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Phase 2
Recruiting
Conditions
Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Interventions
Drug: Nab-paclitaxel and Cisplatin
Procedure: surgery
Registration Number
NCT03964753
Lead Sponsor
Hebei Medical University Fourth Hospital
Brief Summary

To verify the role of nab-paclitaxel in neoadjuvant therapy for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, the investigators designed a prospective, randomized, controlled , multicente phase II trial, to investigate the efficacy and safety of nab-paclitaxel combined with cisplatin as neoadjuvant therapy followed by surgery versus surgery alone for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
