About this trial

This clinical trial is designed to evaluate the preliminary efficacy and safety of an oncolytic virus combined with chemotherapy and an immune checkpoint inhibitor in patients with initially unresectable, locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). The primary endpoints are safety, surgical conversion rate and event-free survival (EFS). Secondary endpoints include overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR), and quality of life (QoL). Exploratory endpoints include biomarker analyses such as single-cell sequencing.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

A. Age 18-80 years B. Diagnosed with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) with/without cervical lymph node metastases.

Disqualifiers

A. Received prior antitumor chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or immunotherapy before the first-line treatment.
