Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This study aims to investigate a comprehensive therapeutic approach for patients with unresectable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, clinically staged as Tany, N3, M0, and who are not candidate for concurrent chemoradiotherapy combined with immunotherapy. The approach entails combining chemotherapy with immune therapy, followed by synchronized radiotherapy during the immune maintenance phase. The primary goal is to mitigate treatment-related side effects and enhance the overall prognosis through the integration of these treatment modalities.

Primary outcomes (1)
- measure
- 1-year progression-free survival
- timeFrame
- 1 year
- description
- From the initial administration of the study drug to the first identification of disease progression or mortality, whichever happens first. In the case of patients who had not encountered local control failure or death, specifically in terms of progression-free survival, the time of the last tumor assessment was considered as the endpoint. Tumor response was evaluated by investigators following RECIST v1.1 criteria.

Renal function: Serum creatinine (SCR) ≤140 μmol/L. * Patients are required to provide informed consent to undergo treatment. Exclusion Criteria: * Existing or prior history of other malignant tumors (except non-melanoma skin cancer) that are uncontrolled or not cured, depending on the type of the primary tumor. * Lack of histological or cytological diagnosis for esophageal cancer. * Previous chest radiotherapy. * Suffering from innate or acquired immune function defects; * Pregnancy (confirmed by serum or urine β-HCG test) or during the lactation period; History of drug abuse or alcohol dependence; HIV-positive status, including those on antiretroviral treatment; Chronic hepatitis B with viral replication phase; Active phase of hepatitis C; Active syphilis with a history of mental illness that may hinder treatment completion. * Poor overall health status, defined as KPS \< 70 or ECOG \> 2. * Presence of severe comorbidities that could impact radiotherapy progress, including: Unstable angina, congestive heart failure, or myocardial infarction requiring hospitalization within the past 6 months; Acute bacterial or systemic fungal infections; Exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or other respiratory conditions requiring hospitalization; Hepatic or renal insufficiency; Immunosuppressed patients; Coexisting connective tissue diseases, such as active scleroderma or lupus, which are contraindications to radiotherapy. * Inability to comprehend the treatment's purpose or unwillingness to sign the treatment consent form. * Lack of legal capacity or limited legal capacity.
