Arm Label

Camrelizumab+ Paclitaxel+ Cisplatin

Camrelizumab+ Albumin bound paclitaxel+ Cisplatin

Arm Description

The subjects were randomly divided into the group of camrelizumab combined with paclitaxel and cisplatin or the group of camrelizumab combined with albumin bound paclitaxel and cisplatin according to the ratio of 1:1. Esophageal cancer resection was performed after 3 cycles of medication (the researchers decided the follow-up treatment according to the postoperative pathological situation). At the end of the treatment, the patients were followed up for safety and effectiveness.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

biomarkers related to pCR
t has a good value in predicting the efficacy of immunotherapy, and is helpful for the accurate formulation of treatment plan and the accurate evaluation of prognosis of patients with esophageal cancer.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Objective Response Rate
Assess ORR, defined as Investigator-assessed CR + PR, per RECIST 1.1.
Disease Control Rate
Percentage of patients with CR/PR/SD in the number of patients that whose tumour can be evaluated.
Disease free survival
The DFS will be defined as the time of patients alive without local recurrence or distant metastasis of disease from the date of the administration of treatment.
Overall Survival
OS is defined as the time from registration to death due to any cause, or censored at date last known alive. Measured by the method of Kaplan and Meier

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This is a randomized, open, two arm phase II clinical study. 40 patients are included in the exploratory study. The dominant population with higher biomarker positive / IO score was identified to provide the basis for the later phase III study. The subjects were randomly divided into the group of camrelizumab combined with paclitaxel and cisplatin or the group of camrelizumab combined with albumin bound paclitaxel and cisplatin according to the ratio of 1:1. The treatment cycle was every 3 weeks. The curative effect was evaluated when the treatment cycle was 2, and the resection of esophageal cancer was considered after 3 cycles. Postoperative adjuvant therapy was based on the patient's condition and surgical results; For patients with R0 resection, postoperative adjuvant treatment is not recommended. For patients with R1 / R2 resection, multi-disciplinary joint discussion and consultation are recommended to propose individualized comprehensive treatment.
