What to Expect as a Participant

You will actively receive the study intervention — which may be a drug, biologic, device, or procedure.

In Phase 2, researchers evaluate early signs of effectiveness. You may be randomized to receive the active treatment or a comparator. Monitoring continues closely.

This trial targets 90 participants in total. It began in 2026-06-09 with a primary completion date of 2028-12.

Brief Summary

This trial is a registrational Phase II/III, randomized, controlled, open-label, multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of BL-B01D1 in combination with tislelizumab ± 5-FU in patients with unresectable, locally advanced recurrent or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

Patients with poorly controlled blood glucose; 14. History of interstitial lung disease (ILD)/interstitial pneumonitis requiring steroid therapy, etc.; 15. Unstable thrombotic events requiring therapeutic intervention within 6 months prior to screening; 16. Presence of large serous cavity effusions or serous cavity effusions, etc.; 17. Concomitant pulmonary diseases resulting in clinically severe respiratory function impairment; 18. Imaging findings indicating tumor invasion or encasement of major blood vessels in the abdomen, thorax, neck, or pharynx; 19. Tumor invasion or compression of the trachea or bronchi causing any clinical symptoms such as cough; 20.
