Clinical Trial Summary

This is a two-arm, open, multicenter clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of AK104 alone or in combination with cisplatin and paclitaxel in the treatment of advanced esophageal squamous carcinoma without systemic therapy.


Clinical Trial Description

During the treatment, eligible patients in cohort A with PD-L1 CPS ≥5 will receive AK104 10 mg/kg, intravenously, every 3 weeks (maximum 24 months of dosing); in cohort B, regardless of PD-L1 expression, eligible patients will receive AK104 10 mg/kg, intravenously, every 3 weeks (maximum 24 months of dosing), in combination with cisplatin (75 mg/m2) and paclitaxel (175 mg/m2), Q3W (up to 6 cycles, the specific cycles will be determined by the investigator). Thereafter, AK104 maintenance therapy will be continued until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, withdrawal of informed consent, death, or end of the study, whichever occurred first (maximum duration of treatment with AK104 should be less than 12 months). When patients with initially unresectable disease transformed into resectable, an operation can be considered and the original regimen may be used after surgery. ;
