Immunotherapy in Combination With Chemoradiotherapy in Unresectable Locally Advanced Esophageal Cancer

SCR-ESCC-02 is a multicenter, phase I/II clinical study to investigate the safety and efficacy of induction immunochemotherapy followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy with anti-PD-1 therapy in patients diagnosed with locally advanced, unresectable esophageal cancer.

2. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-1.
3. Clinical stage meeting the criteria of T1N+M0 or T2-4aN0-3M0 based on the 8th UICC-TNM classification.
4. Ineligibility for surgical resections due to patients' unwillingness for surgery, technically unresectable disease, or being medically unfit for surgery.
