First seen May 16, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026

Summary

This study tests a drug called adebrelimab combined with chemotherapy before either watchful waiting or surgery for people with a type of esophageal cancer. About 200 participants will receive the treatment first. If their cancer disappears completely, they will be randomly assigned to either watchful waiting with more chemo-immunotherapy or standard surgery. The goal is to see if watchful waiting can work as well as surgery, improving survival and quality of life.
