About this study

Official title: A Phase Ⅱ Study on Low-expression and High-expression of ERCC1 in Recurrent or Metastastic Esophageal Cancer Patients Treated With Biweekly Paclitaxel and Cisplatin

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of first-line chemotherapy with cisplatin and paclitaxel in esophageal cancer

Read the detailed description

Open label single arm phase II study of cisplatin and paclitaxel in patients with recurrent or metastatic esophageal cancer. 92 Patients will be enrolled in this local trial. The primary objective of this study is to determine the response rate of the treatment.Schedule for this study is as follows: paclitaxel 150 mg/m2 will be administered as an intravenous infusion over 3 hour on Days 1, followed by cisplatin 50 mg/m2 on Days 2. This study will also include the investigation of ERCC1 expression in order to assess determinants of efficacy of the treatment with cisplatin and paclitaxel in the study population.

Being tested

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall response rate (ORR)

    The primary objective of this study is to determine the response rate of paclitaxel plus cisplatin as first-line therapy in patients with locally advanced, recurrent or metastatic esophageal carcinoma

    Measured: 5 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Time to event efficay

    The following time to event efficacy measures:

    • Duration of overall response for responding patients
    • Time to documented progressive disease
    • Overall survival
    • The quantitative and qualitative toxicity of paclitaxel plus cisplatin.
    • Determinant of efficacy of the treatment with paclitaxel and cisplatin in the patient population by means of the analysis of ERCC1

    Measured: 5 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing paclitaxel and cisplatin in people with Esophageal Cancer, run by Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences 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 4 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 6 May 2014. 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 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 Yi Zhou, M.D (8610-87788800, mondaycm@yahoo.com.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Overall response rate (ORR) (time frame: 5 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 NCT01444547, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 May 2014; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
