Combining Adbelimumab with Chemotherapy and Apatinib for Esophageal Cancer Treatment
Official title: A Prospective, Single-arm, Single-center, Exploratory Study of the Safety and Efficacy of Adbelimumab Combined With Chemotherapy and Apatinib in Patients With Resectable Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Run by Second Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University, School of Medicine · NCT06576973 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing a new treatment that combines Adbelimumab with chemotherapy and Apatinib to see if it can help people with esophageal cancer live longer and reduce the chances of cancer coming back after surgery.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 to 75 with histologically confirmed, resectable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma at clinical stages II-IVA.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with significant cardiovascular disease, distant metastasis, or a history of autoimmune diseases may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This clinical trial investigates the effectiveness of Adbelimumab, a PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy, in combination with chemotherapy and Apatinib for patients with resectable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). The study aims to provide a neoadjuvant treatment approach to reduce postoperative recurrence and improve survival rates in patients with locally advanced ESCC. Participants will receive a regimen that includes Adbelimumab, Albumin paclitaxel, and Carboplatin, followed by esophagectomy. The trial will assess the safety and efficacy of this combination therapy in a defined patient population.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could significantly improve survival rates and reduce recurrence in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise in using PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors in combination with chemotherapy for various cancers, suggesting potential success for this approach in ESCC.
