About this study

Official title: A Randomized Controlled Trial of Chemotherapy With 5FU and Cisplatin Before and After Surgery for Stage II,III Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Thoracic Esophagus:JCOG9907

To determine whether chemotherapy before surgery makes better outcome than chemotherapy after surgery in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma

Read the detailed description

The previous study JCOG9204 showed that postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy with cisplatin and fluorouracil has a detectable preventive effect on relapse in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma compared with surgery alone.(J Clin Oncol 2003;21:4592-4596) Therefore the standard treatment for stage II and III esophageal cancer is adjuvant chemotherapy after surgery.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Surgery +(Cisplatin 80 mg/㎡+5FU 800mg/㎡×5days)×2 and (Cisplatin 80 mg/㎡+5FU 800mg/㎡×5days)×2+Surgery in people with Esophageal Neoplasms and Carcinoma, Squamous Cell, run by Japan Clinical Oncology Group at 24 sites in Japan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Sep 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 24 sites in Japan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early. Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Disease free survival (time frame: year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00190554, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 22 Sep 2016.
