Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Recruiting

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Each patient will complete 2 cycles of neoadjuvant therapy and decide whether to operate after evaluating the curative effect if there is no active withdrawal of the subject from the trial or the researcher believes that the subject is not suitable for further trials. The patients after operation and without operation enter the survival follow-up period. If the imaging evaluation is PD after neoadjuvant therapy, the follow-up treatment shall be carried out according to the following principles: the imaging evaluation belongs to the continuous operation that can be operated; If the imaging evaluation was inoperable, radical concurrent radiotherapy and chemotherapy were performed. Postoperative adjuvant therapy shall be performed according to NCCN guidelines. If it is necessary to improve the local control rate, postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy is feasible. At the same time, imaging evaluation was performed until tumor recurrence and metastasis. After tumor recurrence and metastasis, all patients should also enter survival follow-up; In case of drug withdrawal (such as intolerable toxicity) other than recurrence and metastasis during treatment, the treatment is completed, the post-treatment visit is entered, and the survival follow-up is entered after recurrence.

Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 70 years (Adult, Older Adult)

For men, they must agree to use appropriate methods of contraception or surgical sterilization during the trial and 8 weeks after the last administration of the trial drug.
  • The patients voluntarily joined the study and signed the informed consent form. They had good compliance and cooperated with the follow-up.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Any active autoimmune disease or history of autoimmunity (as follows, but not limited to: autoimmune hepatitis, interstitial pneumonia, uveitis, enteritis, hepatitis, hypophysitis, vasculitis, nephritis, hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism; Subjects with vitiligo or asthma in childhood have been completely relieved and do not need any intervention after adulthood can be included; Asthma in which subjects need bronchodilators for medical intervention cannot be included).

  • According to the judgment of the researcher, the subject has other factors that may lead to the forced midway termination of this study, such as other serious diseases (including mental diseases) requiring combined treatment, serious laboratory abnormalities, accompanied by family or social factors, which will affect the safety of the subject, or the collection of data and samples.
  • The researchers judged the patients with high risk of esophageal perforation or no potential possibility of surgery through endoscopic ultrasonography or imaging.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Pathologic Complete Response
Time Frame: 2-5 years
According to the detection of pathological specimens after operation, no malignant tumor cells were detected, so the patient achieved complete pathological remission.
2-5 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Overall survival
Time Frame: 2-5 years
The time from randomization to death from any cause.
2-5 years
Disease-free Survival
Time Frame: 2-5 years
The patient achieved CR (complete remission) and still had no probability of recurrence after treatment in 2-years.
2-5 years
Progression-Free-Survival
Time Frame: 2-5 years
The time between the beginning of treatment and the observation of disease progression or death from any cause.
2-5 years
Security
Time Frame: 2-5 years
The safety of drugs was evaluated from four aspects: adverse events, adverse reactions, serious adverse events and serious adverse reactions.
2-5 years
Objective Response Rate
Time Frame: 2-5 years
The proportion of patients whose tumor volume reduced to a predetermined value and could maintain the minimum time limit.
2-5 years

Other Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants. For observational studies, a measurement or observation that is used to describe patterns of diseases or traits, or associations with exposures, risk factors, or treatment. Types of outcome measures include primary outcome measure and secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Tumor markers
Time Frame: 2-5 years
Tumor markers refer to those characteristic bioactive substances that can be detected that can reflect the development stage of malignant tumor cells. In a narrow sense, tumor markers refer to bioactive substances synthesized, secreted and released into blood and / or body fluid by malignant tumor cells, including enzymes, hormones, proteins, metabolites and other substances, Their occurrence and changes are closely related to the growth, diffusion, occurrence and development of malignant tumors.
2-5 years
Intestinal flora
Time Frame: 2-5 years
Intestinal flora homeostasis is called the organ of human body. Intestinal flora homeostasis plays an important role in the life activities of the body. It has important physiological significance in promoting the digestion and absorption of host nutrients, maintaining the normal physiological function of intestine, regulating body immunity and antagonizing the colonization of pathogenic microorganisms.
