About this trial
Comparative analysis of patients with resectable locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy or neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy combined sintilimab versus neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Aged 18 to 75, both sexes;
Patients with histologically confirmed locally advanced (cT1N2-3M0 or cT2-4aN0-3M0) thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (8th UICC-TNM stage);
Cervical contrast-enhanced CT showed no suspicious metastatic lymph nodes. Imaging examination showed no systemic metastasis.
R0 resection is expected to be achieved;
Disqualifiers
Malignant tumors other than esophageal cancer (cured localized tumors, including cervical carcinoma in situ, skin basal cell carcinoma and prostate carcinoma in situ, were not excluded) had occurred within 5 years before randomization; Prostate cancer patients receiving hormone therapy with DFS for more than 5 years were not excluded).
Patients with high blood tendency who had a history of gastrointestinal bleeding within 6 months before randomization, or had coagulopathy at the time of enrollment, or were receiving thrombolysis or anticoagulant therapy;
Previous history of interstitial lung disease or pneumonia requiring steroid treatment at enrollment;
Had active tuberculosis at the time of randomization, or had received anti-tuberculosis therapy within 1 year before randomization;

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Pathology complete response rate, pCR
Definition of pathology complete response is "no cancer cell, including lympho nodes" which corresponds with tumor regression score 0 definition of pathologic response is as follows. Tumor regression score Grade 0 and 1 will be defined as "responder" and 2 and 3 will be considered as "non-responders".
Secondary outcomes
Treatment related adverse event, TRAE
The TRAE defined as the proportion of participants who have treatment-related adverse events assessed by National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Event, Version 4.0 (CTCAE v4.0).
Major Pathological Remission rate, MPR
The residual tumor after neoadjuvant treatment ≤ 10% residual tumor lesion in surgical specimen compared to baseline.
Rate of R0 resection
Measure the rate of R0 resection with all margins microscopically clear.
Events Free Survival, EFS
Event-free survival was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of the first documented non-fatal event (worsening cardiac function, hospitalization for congestive heart failure, liver function impairment, liver cirrhosis, transformation to AML, as defined in the protocol), or death, whichever occurred first. Participants who did not experience a non-fatal event as of the time of data cut-off (end of study), as well as participants who did not experience a non-fatal event and stopped study participation before the data cut-off, were censored as specified in the protocol.
