Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This early-phase trial tests whether combining two drugs—camrelizumab (an immunotherapy) and palbociclib (a targeted therapy)—is safe and feasible when given before surgery for esophageal cancer. Six adults with resectable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma will receive the drugs for about three months, then undergo surgery. The main goals are to check for side effects and ensure the treatment doesn't delay surgery.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
camrelizumab and palbociclib
What this could lead to
If this combination proves safe and feasible, it could lead to a new pre-surgery treatment option for esophageal cancer that may improve tumor shrinkage before surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a very early phase 1 trial with only 6 participants, so results may not apply to larger groups. The drugs can cause side effects like immune reactions or low blood cell counts, and the combination may not improve outcomes.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients diagnosed with esophageal squamous cell cancer by gastroscopic biopsies. * The primary tumor should be located in the thorax and evaluated resectable( cT1b-T3N1-3M0, cT3N0M0) by CT/MRI/EUS * The patients should be at the range of 18-75 years old, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) 0-1. * The patients should have no functional disorders in major organs. Blood routine tests, as well as lung, liver, kidney, and heart functions should be basically normal. * The patients should be able to understand our research and be willing to accept surgical treatment and sign the informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * The stage of tumor is T4b (AJCC/International Union Against Cancer (UICC) 8th Edition) and cannot be resected. * Currently undergoing other chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted therapy or immunotherapy. * History of other malignancies. * Have an active autoimmune disease requiring systemic treatment or a documented history of clinically severe autoimmune disease. * Any history of allergic disease, or a sever hypersensitivity reaction to drugs, or allergy to the study drug components. * Presence of serious medical diseases, such as grade II and above cardiac dysfunction (NYHA criteria), ischemic heart diseases, etc. * The patients with severe systematic intercurrent diseases, including active infection or poorly controlled diabetes, coagulation disorders, hemorrhagic tendency, or those undergoing thrombolysis or anticoagulant therapy etc. are excluded from the study. * Female participants who test positive for a serum pregnancy test, are in the lactation period, or are at a childbearing stage and unwilling to use contraception measures during the research are excluded. * Received any investigational drug within 4 weeks prior to the first dose, or concurrently enrolled in another clinical trial. * Any other factors that are not suitable for inclusion in this study judged by investigators.
