At present, concurrent chemoradiotherapy (cCRT) with platin-based dual-drug regimen is the standard treatment for inoperable, locally advanced esophageal cancer in patients with a good performance status. However, cCRT has substantial toxic effects, and a large number of patients with older age, malnutrition and other morbidities, cannot tolerate cCRT. Several phase II trials showed combining PD-1 inhibitor with definitive cCRT provided encouraging activity and acceptable toxicity in patients with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (LA-ESCC). Therefore, this single-arm, multicenter, phase II trial aims to assess the efficacy and safety of immunotherapy plus radiotherapy with immunonutrition support in patients with LA-ESCC and positive PD-L1 expression who are intolerant to cCRT.

Normal cardiac enzyme spectrum (or clinically insignificant laboratory abnormalities as determined by the investigator) 9. Negative pregnancy test (urine or serum) within 3 days before the first dose of study drug for female subjects of childbearing potential. If the urine pregnancy test cannot be confirmed as negative, a blood pregnancy test is required. Non-childbearing potential female is defined as postmenopausal for at least 1 year or has undergone surgical sterilization or hysterectomy. 10. Willing to sign the informed consent form. Exclusion Criteria: Subjects with any of the following conditions cannot participate in the study: 1. A high risk of bleeding or perforation due to clear invasion of adjacent organs (large arteries or trachea) by the tumor, or with fistula. 2. Diagnosed with malignancies other than esophageal cancer within 3 years prior to the first dose (excluding cured basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin and/or radically resected carcinoma in situ). 3. Previous immunological or immunomodulatory drugs as systemic whole-body treatment, including thymic peptides, interferon, interleukins, except for local use to control pleural effusion. 4.
