Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Nimotuzumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody against epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR),has been shown to be effective and safe in some studies with head-neck cancers.Nab-paclitaxel regimen in advanced NSCLC has a better tumor response rate and safety than solvent-based paclitaxel.However,the safety and efficacy of Nimotuzumab plus nab-paclitaxel regimen is uncertain in neoadjuvant therapy in esophageal cancer.The investigators then initiated a phase II clinical trial with Nimotuzumab plus Nab-paclitaxel/cisplatin as the neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma to observe the efficacy and safety of the combination.
