Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults 18-75 with pathologically confirmed resectable ESCC, no distant metastasis, adequate organ function, and ECOG 0-1.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with unresectable disease, distant metastases, poor organ function, or intolerance to the regimen may not benefit.

What this trial studies
This phase 2 trial investigates the safety and efficacy of adding adebrelimab, an immune checkpoint inhibitor, to a neoadjuvant regimen of nab-paclitaxel, carboplatin, and short-course radiotherapy in patients with resectable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Eligible participants have confirmed ESCC, no distant metastasis, adequate organ function, and good performance status. The goal is to see if this combination increases pathological complete response rates and improves surgical and survival outcomes compared with historical controls. Outcomes of interest include safety, pCR rate, disease-free survival, and overall survival. The study is conducted at Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hospital with collaboration from Jiangsu HengRui Medicine Co., Ltd.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, patients may have higher rates of complete tumor response before surgery and improved long-term survival.
How similar studies have gone: Previous immunotherapy plus chemoradiotherapy approaches have shown variable pCR improvements in ESCC, making this investigation exploratory.
