About this trial
In this prospective trial, patients demonstrating clinical complete response (cCR) as determined by a standard response assessment protocol (incorporating clinical and molecular diagnostic methods) will be offered organ-sparing management following neoadjuvant therapy with adebrelimab (anti-PD-L1) concurrent with chemoradiotherapy. The primary endpoint is 2-year overall survival rate in this watch-and-wait cohort.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
2-year OS rate
An overall survival (OS) is defined as the time from treatment to death, regardless of disease recurrence.
Secondary outcomes
cCR rate
A clinical complete response rate (cCR) is defined as the complete disappearance of tumor lesions.
median EFS
An event-free survival (EFS) is defined as the duration from the start of treatment until disease recurrence or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.
median OS
An overall survival (OS) is defined as the time from treatment to death, regardless of disease recurrence.
