About
This study aims to determine the effects of chemoradiation and Tislelizumab on Esophageal/EGJ Cancer before and after surgery.
Full description
Esophageal cancer patients in this trial will receive chemoradiation therapy with tislelizumab, which is an anti-PD-1 antibody, before surgery. Patient will be evaluated for complete pathological response or major pathological response rate following chemoradiation. Patient will continue on to get tislelizumab after surgery to complete total of a year of treatment. They will be evaluated for PFS and OS. Throughout the study, drug tolerability and toxicities will be monitored.

Exclusion Criteria:
Unresectable disease either T4b or M1 per AJCC8
Deemed inoperable for any reason by attending surgeon
Any prior treatment directed at the tumor except biopsy.
Active autoimmune diseases such as SLE, RA requiring systemic immunosuppression or history of autoimmune diseases that may relapse.
Any active malignancy ≤ 2 years before first dose of study drug, except for cancer that has been treated curatively (e.g., resected basal or squamous cell skin cancer, superficial bladder cancer, carcinoma in situ of the cervix or breast)
Any condition that required systemic treatment with either corticosteroids (> 10 mg daily of prednisone or equivalent) or other immunosuppressive medication ≤ 14 days before tislelizumab. Note: Patients who are currently or have previously been on any of the following steroid regimens are not excluded:
Laboratory test abnormalities in potassium, sodium, or corrected calcium > Grade 1 despite standard medical management
History of interstitial lung disease, non-infectious pneumonitis or uncontrolled diseases including pulmonary fibrosis, acute lung diseases, etc.
Severe chronic or active infections requiring systemic antibacterial, antifungal or antiviral therapy, including tuberculosis infection, etc.
A known history of HIV infection not controlled with anti-retroviral therapy
Patients with untreated chronic hepatitis B or chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) carriers whose HBV DNA is > 500 IU/mL or patients with active hepatitis C virus (HCV) should be excluded. Note: Inactive hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) carriers, treated and stable hepatitis B (HBV DNA < 500 IU/mL), and cured hepatitis C patients can be enrolled

Any of the following cardiovascular risk factors:
A history of severe hypersensitivity reactions to chimeric or humanized antibodies or fusion proteins
Has received radiation therapy within 4 weeks, chemotherapy, immunotherapy (e.g., interleukin, interferon, thymosin), or any investigational therapies within 14 days or 5 half lives (whichever is shorter) of the first study drug administration
Was administered a live vaccine ≤ 4 weeks before tislelizumab Note: Seasonal vaccines for influenza are generally inactivated vaccines and are allowed.
Intranasal vaccines are live vaccines and are not allowed. The mRNA vaccine for SARSCoV2 is allowed if the second dose is administered two weeks before study drug is administered.
Underlying medical conditions (including laboratory abnormalities) or alcohol or drug abuse or dependence that, will be unfavorable for the administration of study drug or affect the explanation of drug toxicity or AEs or result in insufficient or might impair compliance with study conduct.
Concurrent participation in another therapeutic clinical study.
History of allergy to platinum or taxane
Li-Fraumeni Syndrome where radiation is contraindicated
