10. Female subjects of childbearing potential must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test within 72 hours prior to initiation of study drug administration and must use effective contraception (e.g., intrauterine device, oral contraceptives, or condoms) during the trial and for at least 3 months after the last dose. Male subjects with female partners of childbearing potential must use effective contraception during the trial and for 3 months after the last dose;
11. Subjects must demonstrate good compliance and willingness to participate in follow-up.
Exclusion Criteria:
1. Tumor has significantly invaded adjacent organs (major arteries or trachea) near the esophageal lesion;
2. Presence of supraclavicular lymph node metastasis;
3. Presence of uncontrollable pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, or ascites requiring repeated drainage;
4. Malnutrition with BMI \< 18.5 kg/m²; if corrected by symptomatic nutritional support prior to enrollment and approved by the principal investigator, enrollment may still be considered;
5. History of allergy to monoclonal antibodies, any component of adebrelimab, any component of Nimotuzumab, albumin-bound paclitaxel, cisplatin, or other platinum-based drugs;
6. Prior or current treatment with any of the following: (1) Any radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or other anti-neoplastic agents directed at the tumor; (2) Use of immunosuppressive agents or systemic corticosteroids for immunosuppression (dose \>10 mg/day prednisone or equivalent) within 2 weeks prior to first study drug administration; Inhaled or topical steroids and corticosteroid replacement therapy at a dose \>10 mg/day of prednisone or equivalent are permitted in the absence of active autoimmune disease; (3) Received a live attenuated vaccine within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study drug; (4) Undergone major surgery or sustained severe trauma within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study drug;
7. Presence of any active autoimmune disease or history of autoimmune disease, including but not limited to: interstitial pneumonia, enteritis, hepatitis, hypophysitis, vasculitis, nephritis, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism (may be considered for inclusion after hormone replacement therapy); Individuals with psoriasis or childhood asthma/allergies that have achieved complete remission and require no intervention in adulthood may be considered for inclusion; however, patients requiring medical intervention with bronchodilators are excluded;
8. History of immunodeficiency, including HIV-positive status, or other acquired or congenital immunodeficiency disorders, or history of organ transplantation or allogeneic bone marrow transplantation;
9. Uncontrolled cardiac clinical symptoms or disease, including but not limited to: (1) NYHA Class II or higher heart failure, (2) unstable angina, (3) myocardial infarction within the past year, (4) clinically significant supraventricular or ventricular arrhythmias uncontrolled despite clinical intervention or with poor control after intervention;
10. Severe infection (CTCAE ≥ Grade 2) within 4 weeks prior to first study drug administration, such as severe pneumonia requiring hospitalization, bacteremia, or infection-related complications; exclusion if baseline chest imaging indicates active pulmonary inflammation, or if symptoms/signs of infection or need for oral/IV antibiotics exist within 14 days prior to first study drug administration (excluding prophylactic antibiotic use);
11. Active pulmonary tuberculosis infection identified through medical history or CT examination; history of active pulmonary tuberculosis infection within 1 year prior to enrollment; or history of active pulmonary tuberculosis infection more than 1 year prior without formal treatment;
12. Active hepatitis B (HBV DNA ≥ 2000 IU/mL or 10\^4 copies/mL) or hepatitis C (HCV antibody positive with HCV RNA above the lower limit of detection of the assay method);
13. Imaging demonstrating tumor invasion into the perivascular space of a major vessel, or patients judged by the investigator to be at high risk of fatal hemorrhage due to tumor invasion into a major vessel during the study period;
14. Patients diagnosed with other malignancies within 5 years prior to first administration of the study drug, unless the malignancy carries a low risk of metastasis or mortality (5-year survival rate \> 90%), such as adequately treated basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, or cervical carcinoma in situ, which may be considered for inclusion;
15. Patients with uncontrolled hypertension despite antihypertensive therapy (systolic blood pressure ≥150 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure ≥100 mmHg); or patients requiring two or more antihypertensive agents to control blood pressure; patients with a history of hypertensive crisis or hypertensive encephalopathy;
16. Pregnant or lactating women;
17. Other factors deemed by the investigator to potentially necessitate premature study discontinuation, such as concomitant treatment for other serious illnesses (including psychiatric disorders), alcohol abuse, substance misuse, or familial/social factors that may compromise subject safety or compliance.
