Overview
Brief Summary
This is a single-institution, single arm trial of Toripalimab with neoadjuvant carboplatin and paclitaxel for locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).The primary study hypothesis is that the patients who received Toripalimab combined with carboplatin and paclitaxel will increase complete pathologic response rate.
Detailed Description
Enrolled patinets will receive two cycles of Toripalimab(240 mg administered as an intravenous infusion over 30 minutes per 3 weeks), paclitaxel(135 mg/m2) and carboplatin(AUC 5) administered as an intravenous infusion per 3 weeks. Giving the drugs on the first day of each cycle.

Arms & Interventions
Toripalimb
Single arm, non randomized, open label study.The patients will receive Toripalimb concurrently caboplatin and paclitaxel treatment.
Intervention: Toripalimab
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Complete pathologic response rate
Time Frame: 3 months
Definition of complete pathologic response is "no cancer cell, including lympho nodes" which corresponds with tumor regression score 0. Definition of pathologic response is as follows. Tumor regression score Grade 0 and 1 will be defined as "responder" and 2 and 3 will be considered as "non-responders"
Secondary Outcomes
- Objective response rate(3 months)
- Disease control rate(3 months)
- Incidence of adverse events(6 months)
