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).

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Serum Concentrations of Tislelizumab at Specified Time Points
Number of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
Adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) as characterized by type, frequency, severity (National Cancer Institute-Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0 (NCI-CTCAEv5.0) timing, seriousness, and relationship to study treatment
Overall Response Rate (ORR)Assessed by Independent Review Committee (IRC)
ORR is defined as the percentage of participants with partial or complete response, as assessed by independent review committee (IRC) using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1
Secondary outcomes
Progression-Free Survival (PFS) Rate at 6 Months
Six-month progression-free survival (PFS) rate, defined as the percentage of participants free from first documentation of disease progression assessed by the IRC using RECIST v1.1, or death, whichever comes first, for six months after first dose
