About this study

Official title: Phase 3 Study of Lobaplatin,5-Fluorouracil and Leucovorin for the Treatment of Recurrent or Metastatic Esophageal Carcinoma

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and the toxicity of lobaplatin, 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and leucovorin in patients with esophageal carcinoma.

Read the detailed description

patients with metastatic or recurrent esophageal cancer have a particularly poor prognosis .The overall 5-year survival rate for patients with newly diagnosed esophageal cancer is under 10%. Metastatic esophageal carcinoma is an incurable disease and due to the lack of effective therapies to manage this disease,the median survival is only 6 to 8 months Chemotherapy which is one of the most effective treatment so far is used as part of combined modality therapy for locally advanced diseases or as a palliative treatment for metastatic diseases.Lobaplatin is the third generation of platinum.Phase Ⅱclinical trials indicate that lobaplatin is effective for esophageal cancer, ovarian cancer, breast cancer and small cell lung cancer.

What participants receive

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

  • lobaplatin , 5-FU ,leucovorinDrug

    Also called LBP ,5-FU,LV

    Participants received 2-hour lobaplatin (30 mg/m2 on day 1) and a 2-hour infusion of leucovorin (LV; 200 mg/m2 on days 1-5) followed by a 4-hour infusion of 5-FU (650 mg/m2 on days 1-5). Treatment was repeated every 21 days.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing lobaplatin , 5-FU ,leucovorin in people with Esophageal Carcinoma, run by Taian Cancer Hospital at 1 site 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 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 5 Jan 2010. 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 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. 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?

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?

objective response rate(ORR) time to progression (TTP) toxicities (time frame: 12/31/2010). 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 5 Jan 2010.
