Neoadjuvant Ivonescimab（AK112） Combined With Chemotherapy in Patients With Resectable Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma

In the past few decades, surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and other treatments were continuously improved, however, the mortality of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients was not significantly decreased. It is recommended that a treatment strategy be employed that integrates surgery with radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or immunotherapy, in order to enhance overall survival by improving local-regional tumor control and addressing microscopic metastases. Clinical research indicates that combining anti-PD-1/L1 and anti-VEGF antibodies enhances anti-tumor effects in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Ivonescimab, a humanized bispecific monoclonal antibody targeting PD-1/VEGF. This single-arm, prospective, exploratory study is planned to evaluate the combination of ivonescimab and chemotherapy in neoadjuvant therapy for resectable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, with the aim of providing new therapeutic options for this condition.
