About this trial

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile, safety, and efficacy of tislelizumab administered once every 2 weeks (Q2W) or once every 4 weeks (Q4W) in combination with chemotherapy as first-line treatment in Japanese participants with previously untreated, unresectable locally advanced, or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Able to provide written informed consent by the participant or by the participants' legally acceptable representative and can understand and agree to comply with the requirements of the study

Histologically confirmed, unresectable locally advanced, recurrent or metastatic ESCC not amenable to curative approaches such as definitive chemoradiation or surgery.

No previous systemic therapy for unresectable locally advanced, recurrent or metastatic ESCC

At least 1 measurable lesion per RECIST v1.1 as determined by investigator

Disqualifiers

Participants who are unable to comply with the requirements of the protocol

Participants with evidence of esophageal or gastroesophageal perforation or fistula ( esophageal/bronchial or esophageal/aorta), or complete esophageal obstruction not amenable to treatment within 6 months prior to the first dose of study drugs

Uncontrollable pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, or ascites requiring frequent drainage (clinically significant recurrence requiring an additional intervention within 2 weeks of intervention) and/or diuretics within 7 days prior to the first dose of study drugs (the cytological confirmation of any effusion is permitted)

Have an estimated life expectancy < 3 months, per the judgment of the investigator
