Known allergic reactions, hypersensitivity reactions, or contraindications to macromolecular protein preparations, or any components of serplulimab, or to paclitaxel or cisplatin or any components used in their preparations; 17.

About this study

Official title: A Single Arm, Prospective, Exploratory, Single Center Phase II Clinical Study of Serplulimab Combined With Synchronous Radiochemotherapy for the Treatment of Locally Advanced Esophageal Squamous Cell Cancer in Elderly Patients With Non Surgical Resectable Lesions Research Plan

This study is a Single Arm, Prospective, Exploratory, Single Center Phase II Clinical Study to evaluate the effectiveness of the combination of Serplulimab and Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy in the treatment of elderly patients with locally advanced esophageal cancer who cannot be treated surgically.Subjects can be enrolled into this study only if they meet inclusion criteria and do not meet exclusion criteria.

Read the detailed description

It is expected that 50 patients will be enrolled, and patients who meet the enrollment criteria will undergo esophagoscopy, esophageal barium meal examination, chest contrast-enhanced CT, abdominal ultrasound, electrocardiogram, blood routine, whole body bone scan, liver and kidney function and other examinations before treatment, and esophageal ultrasound if necessary. Patients who received esophageal ultrasound were staged by esophageal ultrasound results, and those without esophageal ultrasound were mainly staged according to the cervical chest and epigastric contrast CT and esophageal barium plates, and clinical staging was performed according to the AJCC staging standard. After the combination of Serplulimab and concurrent chemoradiotherapy, adverse reactions and efficacy evaluation were observed. The expected result is that the local control rate of Serplulimab combined with chemoradiotherapy is improved in patients with locally advanced elderly esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, and there is no significant increase in adverse reactions, and serological indicators such as PDL-1 CPS can be used as prognostic indicators for esophageal malignancy and have certain guiding significance for treatment. PD-1 monoclonal antibody can be used in locally advanced elderly esophageal cancer patients who cannot tolerate chemotherapy, with good short-term efficacy and tolerable toxic side effects, which further provides reference value for clinical guidance.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Serplulimab in people with Esophageal Carcinoma, run by The First Affiliated Hospital with Nanjing Medical University at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Apr 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

mPFS (time frame: up to one year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Apr 2024.
