About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study With One-cycle Weekly TP-HDFL Followed by Twice Weekly TP-CCRT and Esophagectomy for Locally Advanced Esophageal Cancer

We hypothesize that one-cycle induction chemotherapy may also help to identify chemo-responsive esophageal cancer patients who are highly treatable by definitive CCRT.

Read the detailed description

We hypothesize that one-cycle induction chemotherapy may also help to identify chemo-responsive esophageal cancer patients who are highly treatable by definitive CCRT.in order to test this hypothesis, we thus propose this phase II clinical study to verify the role of "response to one-cycle induction chemotherapy"in the prediction of pathologic complete response rate to CCRT and tje outcomes for patients with loco-regional esophageal cancer.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • TP-HDFL,TP-CCRT, EsophagectomyProcedure or surgery

    To determine whether clinical response to one cycle of induction chemotherapy (TP-HDFL) could predict the pathologic complete response to preoperative chemoradiotherapy (TP-CCRT) in patients with locally advanced esophageal cancer.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing TP-HDFL,TP-CCRT, Esophagectomy in people with Esophageal Cancer, run by National Taiwan University Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 6 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 18 Dec 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Taiwan. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 Chih-Hung Hsu, M.D (886-2-23711174 ext. 7680, chihhunghsu@ntu.edu.tw), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To determine whether clinical response to one cycle of induction chemotherapy (TP-HDFL) could predict the pathologic complete response to preoperative chemoradiotherapy (TP-CCRT (time frame: 2 years). 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 NCT01034332, 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 18 Dec 2009.
