About this study

Official title: Sequential Paclitaxel Plus Cisplatin Chemotherapy and Radiotherapy as First Line Treatment for Metastatic Esophageal Squamous Cell Cancer:: a Phase II Single Center Prospective Clinical Trial

Metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinomas have poor prognosis and majority of patients resistant to chemotherapy in China. In the investigators phase II clinical trial proceeded before, the combination of paclitaxel with cisplatin showed good tolerance and efficacy to esophageal squamous cell carcinomas. Radiotherapy has been indicated as a definitive treatment for unresectable or medically inoperable tumors in ESCC patients. However, not only the combination with chemotherapy, but also the boundaries of the clinical target volume (CTV) are not internationally defined. The investigators then initiated a prospective phase II clinical trial with sequential paclitaxel/cisplatin and radiotherapy as the 1st line treatment in metastatic esophageal carcinoma to observe the efficacy and safety of the combination.

What is being measured

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

  1. progression free survival

    the follow-up visit of PFS will be performed every 2 cycles

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. overall survival

    OS means that from the first dose of treatment drug to death or lost, the follow-up visit will be performed every 3 months till death or lost

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Sequential chemotherapy (paclitaxel 175mg/m2 d1; cisplatin 37.5mg/m2 d1,d2) and radiotherapy in people with Esophageal Squamous Cell Cancer, run by Shen Lin 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 12 inclusion and 9 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 19 Dec 2013. 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 Lin Shen, MD (86-10-88196561, lin100@medmail.com.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

progression free survival (time frame: 1 year). 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 19 Dec 2013.
