About this trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of retlirafusp alfa combined with radical chemoradiotherapy in the treatment of locally advanced unresectable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Participants will receive two cycles of retlirafusp alfa and chemotherapy for induction therapy before standard concurrent chemoradiotherapy and retlirafusp alfa for maintenance treatment till one year.

Treatments tested in this trial
Induction chemo-immunotherapy
DrugParticipants will receive two cycles of retlirafusp alfa and chemotherapy for induction therapy: Retlirafusp alfa 1800mg Day1 + Albumin-bound paclitaxel 125mg/m² Day 1 and Day 8 + Cisplatin 25mg/m² Day 1-3 every 3 weeks (Q3w)
Concurrent chemoradiotherapy (cCRT)
RadiationRadiation: 1.8Gy/Fx, total dose (DT) 50.4Gy/28Fx; Chemotherapy: Albumin-bound paclitaxel 60-80mg/m² + Cisplatin 25mg/m² Day 1 every week (Qw)
maintenance immunotherapy
DrugRetlirafusp Alfa 1800 mg on Day 1, Q3W, as maintenance therapy until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, for up to 1 year; the total number of cycles for Retlirafusp Alfa induction and maintenance therapy should not exceed 15 cycles.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1 year progression-free survival (PFS) rate
Progression-free survival (PFS) is defined as the time from the date of first study treatment administration to the first documented disease progression (per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1)) or death from any cause, whichever occurs first. The 1-year PFS rate is the proportion of participants who are alive and progression-free at 1 year (12 months) after the first dose.
