Brief Summary:
This Phase I study is to determine the maximum tolerated fraction dose (MTD) for split-course hypo-CCRT following induction chemo-immunotherapy in LA-ESCC patients, to clarify the dosimetric advantage of split-course hypo-CCRT, and to investigate the treatment-related toxicities and quality of life of the new regimen.

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Experiment group

This is a prospective, single-arm, phase 1 trial. A total of 18 unresectable LA-ESCC patients are required to be enrolled.

  1. Induction chemo-immunotherapy All patients receive 2-3 cycles of Abraxane 260mg/m2 d1+cisplatin 60mg/m2 d1+Toripalimab 240mg d1.
  2. Hypo-CCRT Evaluation will be performed three weeks after the induction chemo-immunotherapy, LA-ESCC patients without disease progression will continue the split-course hypo-CCRT treatment.

Split-course hypo-CCRT is administered at the following three dose levels:

  • Level 1: DT 3000cGy/10 daily fractions/300cGy in the first course, DT 2000cGy/10 daily fractions/200cGy in the second course;
  • Level 2: DT 2800cGy/7 daily fractions/400cGy in the first course, DT 2200cGy/10 daily fractions/220cGy in the second course;
  • Level 3: DT 2500cGy/5 daily fractions/500cGy in the first course, DT 2500cGy10 daily fractions/250cGy in the second course.
Radiation: Split-course hypo-CCRT

Split-course hypo-CCRT is administered at the following three dose levels:

  • Level 1: DT 3000cGy/10 daily fractions/300cGy in the first course, DT 2000cGy/10 daily fractions/200cGy in the second course;
  • Level 2: DT 2800cGy/7 daily fractions/400cGy in the first course, DT 2200cGy/10 daily fractions/220cGy in the second course;
  • Level 3: DT 2500cGy/5 daily fractions/500cGy in the first course, DT 2500cGy10 daily fractions/250cGy in the second course.

Drug: Induction chemo-immunotherapy
All patients receive 2-3 cycles of Abraxane 260mg/m2 d1+cisplatin 60mg/m2 d1+Toripalimab 240mg d1.

Drug: Concurrent chemotherapy
Concurrent capecitabine was administered orally at 1000mg/m2 twice daily within half an hour after meals concurrently with radiotherapy.




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Tolerated fraction dose [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
    Define the maximum tolerated fraction dose (MTD) for split-course hypo-CCRT following induction chemo-immunotherapy.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. 2-year overall survival rate [ Time Frame: 2-year ]
  2. 2-year progression-free survival rate [ Time Frame: 2-year ]
  3. Clinical response rate [ Time Frame: 2 months after radiotherapy ]
    The percentage of patients who had partial remission or complete remission after therapy

  4. The rate of grade 3 or 4 toxicities according to CTCAE5.0 [ Time Frame: 1 year after therapy ]
    the percentage of patients who develop grade 3 or 4 toxicities
