NCT ID NCT04848753
First seen Apr 10, 2026 · Last updated Apr 19, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This large, late-stage study is testing if adding an immunotherapy drug called toripalimab to standard chemotherapy, given both before and after surgery, works better than chemotherapy alone for people with a type of advanced esophageal cancer. The goal is to see if this combination helps keep the cancer from coming back longer and helps patients live longer. About 660 participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the real immunotherapy drug or a placebo alongside their chemotherapy.
