About this study

Official title: Phase Ⅱ Study of FOLFIRI as Second-Line Chemotherapy for Metastatic Esophageal Carcinoma

This phase Ⅱ study was designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of FOLFIRI as second-line treatment for metastatic esophageal carcinoma.

Read the detailed description

Although there are no standard second-line treatment for metastatic esophageal carcinoma, some studies have showed that irinotecan, fluorouracil may be effective in treating patients with metastatic esophageal carcinoma after failure of first-line treatment. Since irinotecan, fluorouracil, and leucovorin work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor. Giving more than one drug may be more effective. In this phase Ⅱ trial, the investigator would like to observe the efficacy and safety of FOLFIRI(Irinotecan/5-FU/leucovorin ) as second-line treatment for metastatic esophageal carcinoma.

What participants receive

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

  • FOLFIRIDrug

    Also called Irinotecan, Leucovorin, 5-Fluorouracil

    Patients will receive FOLFIRI every 2 weeks: Irinotecan 180mg/m2 IV over 90 minutes on Day 1; Leucovorin IV over 2 hours on Day 1(l-LV 200 mg/m2 or dl-LV 400 mg/m2 ); 5-Fluorouracil 400 mg/m2 IV bolus on Day 1; followed by 5-Fluorouracil 2.4 g/m2 for 46 hours continuous infusion.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing FOLFIRI in people with Advanced Esophageal Carcinoma, run by Yuhong Li 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 16 inclusion and 7 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 16 Feb 2023. 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?

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?

Disease control rate (time frame: Up to 24 weeks). 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 16 Feb 2023.
