About

This is a single institution and single-arm phase I/II study to assess the feasibility and efficacy of tislelizumab plus chemoradiation for conversion therapy of patients with locally nonresectable ESCC.

Full description

The success of PD-1 antibody immunotherapy has brought about tremendous changes in clinical practice for treating patients with ESCC. Many patients with ESCC were not resectable at first presentation because of locally advanced disease in the primary site and/or in lymph nodes. The primary intention of our study was to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of combining tislelizumab and chemoradiation for conversion therapy for these patients. The enrolled patients in this study should be with pathologically proved ESCC staged IIIb-IVa according to the 8th edition of UICC/AJCC TNM stage classification. This is a single institution and single-arm phase I/II study, the estimated enrollment was 30 participants.

Tislelizumab plus chemoradiation group
Experimental group
Description:
In the single experimental arm, patients with nonresectable stage IIIb-IVa disease were subjected to receive neoadjuvant tislelizumab (200mg) plus chemoradiation (TP regimen plus 30Gy/12F irradiation) for conversion therapy. If conversion therapy succeeds, patients would proceed to surgery and adjuvant therapy. Otherwise, if patients were still not resectable after the conversion therapy, an additional radiation dose of 15Gy/6F would be scheduled for the ESCC lesions to achieve a definite radiotherapy dose, then, patients proceeded to consolidation therapy.
Treatment:
Drug: Tislelizumab
Radiation: Radiotherapy
Drug: Paclitaxel
Drug: Carboplatin
