Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults (≥18) with advanced oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma who have ECOG 0–1, at least one measurable lesion by RECIST 1.1, adequate organ and bone marrow function, and expected survival of at least 12 weeks are ideal candidates.

Probably not a fit

Patients with poor performance status (ECOG ≥2), significant organ dysfunction, inability to comply with visits or contraception requirements, or otherwise ineligible by protocol are unlikely to benefit from participation.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is an open-label, multicenter Phase II study testing LBL-024 given with chemotherapy agents (cisplatin, paclitaxel, 5‑fluorouracil) and the PD‑1 inhibitor tislelizumab in patients with advanced ESCC. The study begins with a small safety run‑in where a few subjects receive the combination and are observed for 21 days to confirm tolerability. If the combination is judged safe, the trial expands into a randomized, open, positive‑control phase with subjects assigned 2:1 to experimental versus control groups, enrolling up to 110 people. Key outcomes include tumor response per RECIST 1.1 and safety/tolerability measures, with regular clinical and laboratory monitoring across participating centers.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the combination could shrink tumors and extend progression‑free or overall survival compared with current options for advanced ESCC.

How similar studies have gone: Combining chemotherapy with PD‑1 inhibitors has shown benefit in ESCC in other trials, but LBL‑024 is a novel agent and this particular combination regimen is still unproven.
