A Phase 3 interventional study of Camrelizumab and radiotherapy in Resectable Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma, sponsored by Zhigang Li. Active, not recruiting at 5 sites in China. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 75 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-09-17.
Sponsored by Zhigang Li · Phase 3, Interventional, and Treatment
The purpose of this study is to explore the effectiveness and safety of neoadjuvant immune combined chemotherapy or radiochemotherapy compared with traditional neoadjuvant radiochemotherapy in patients with locally advanced Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma.
This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of adding immunotherapy to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (CT) or chemoradiotherapy (CRT) compared to neoadjuvant CRT alone for resectable locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC)
Zhigang Li is the lead sponsor of 3 studies on the registry; 2 are open to participants now.

The study perform preoperative neoadjuvant therapy, surgery and postoperative adjuvant therapy on subjects. Preoperative neoadjuvant therapy includes 3 groups: iCamrelizumab combined with neoadjuvant chemotherapy; Camrelizumab combined with neoadjuvant radiochemotherapy, and neoadjuvant radiochemotherapy.

EFS assessed by the investigator according to RECIST 1.1
defined as event free survival,defined as the time from randomization to the occurrence of tumor progression/recurrence /death, whichever comes first
Time frame: median EFS approximately over 45 months
OS
defined as the time from registration to death due to any cause, or censored at date last known alive
Time frame: median OS approximately over 80 months
R0 resection rate
defined as complete surgery resection rate
Time frame: within 28 working days after surgery
DFS
defined as the time from the date of surgery who completed R0 resection to local or distant recurrence, or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first;
Time frame: median DFS approximately over 40 months
HRQoL
defined as quality and nutrition assessment
Time frame: approximately 48 months
pCR
pCR is defined as pathological complete response(ypT0/TisN0)
