About this study

Official title: A Phase I Study of S-1 With Concurrent Radiotherapy in Elderly Patients With Esophageal Cancer

Elderly patients with esophageal cancer will receive thoracic radiation therapy 54Gy over 30 fractions, and concurrent with s-1 on days 1-14 and 29-42 at the following dosages: 60, 70, and 80 mg/m(2)/day.

Read the detailed description

Purpose:evaluated the dose-limiting toxicity and recommended dose of S-1 for a future phase II study when administered concurrently with thoracic radiation in elderly patients (>70 years old) with esophageal Cancer.

Methods:S-1 was administered on days 1-14 and 29-42 at the following dosages: 60, 70, and 80mg/m(2)/day. Thoracic radiation therapy was administered in 1.8Gy fractions five times weekly to a total dose of 54 Gy.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of s-1 in combination with thoracic radiotherapy in elderly patients (> 70 years old) with esophageal Cancer

    the MTD will be defined as the maximum dose level at which no more than one subject out of six experiences a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) during treatment.

    Measured: 3 months per patient

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Objective response rate (e.g. complete response [CR], partial response [PR], stable disease [SD], or progressive disease [PD]).

    Measured: dependent upon results

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing S-1 in people with Esophageal Cancer, run by Zhejiang 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 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Mar 2012. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of s-1 in combination with thoracic radiotherapy in elderly patients (> 70 years old) with esophageal Cancer (time frame: 3 months per patient). 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 NCT01175447, 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 6 Mar 2012.
