About this study

Official title: A Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Randomized Clinical Trial of Sodium Glycididazole in Concurrent Radiochemotherapy for the Treatment of Thoracic Esophageal Squamous Carcinoma

This multicentered clinical trial is going to find out the radio-sensitization action of sodium glycididazole in radiochemotherapy for esophageal cancer.

Read the detailed description

Esophageal cancer is one of the most frequent causes of cancer death in the world. The most common type of esophageal cancer is squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in China. Although concurrent radiochemotherapy is recommended as the standard treatment for advanced esophageal carcinoma, the local failure still reaches up to 44%-54%.

Sodium Glycididazole(CMNa) is a radiosensitive drug for hypoxic tumor cells. Clinical trials showed that CMNa can improve local control rate and survival rate of esophageal cancer. This study is going to confirm the efficacy and safety of CMNa in concurrent radiochemotherapy of radiotherapy and 5-FU+DDP for esophageal squamous carcinoma.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Sodium Glycididazole in people with Esophageal Carcinoma, run by Shandong Luye Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. at 4 sites in China.

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 8 inclusion and 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 May 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in China. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Lvhua Wang, Doctor (86-10-87788503, wlhwq@yahoo.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

tumour local control rate (time frame: 6 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 14 May 2008.
