About this study

Official title: Correlation of Radiotherapy-related Features With Postoperative Complications in Patients With Esophageal Cancer Treated With Trimodality Therapy

The purpose of this study is to identify features of the cumulative dose-volume histogram (DVH) for patients treated with trimodality therapy in oesophageal cancer and correlate these with postoperative complications.

Read the detailed description

Intention to treat analysis in patients initially assigned to be treated with the trimodality protocol: neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy followed by surgery.

The investigators will retrospectively evaluate several parameters of the treatment planning of patients treated with a preoperative regimen (CROSS regimen 41,4 Gy in 23 fractions or 50, 4 Gy in 28 fractions ):

  • PTV volume1
  • MLD, V30, V20, V15, V10, VS5 (Volume lung less dan 5 Gy)2 (lung toxicity)
  • MHD, V20, V30, V403 (heart toxicity)
  • Mean stomach dose, V50 stomach
  • Mitochondrial DNA if available per patient Pre-existing cardiac,pulmonary comorbidity, smoking behavior, BMI, type of surgery and chemotherapy (especially taxanes) will be scored and take into account in a multivariate analysis. The investigators will collect these data and correlate the data with the presence of postoperative complications, time of onset of complications and duration of hospitalization. These latter data are already scored in a prospective manner at the Atrium Medical Center in Heerlen.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Esophageal Cancer, run by Maastricht Radiation Oncology at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 2 inclusion and 1 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Mar 2016. 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 Netherlands. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early. 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?

Postoperative complications (time frame: within 30 and 90 Days after operation). 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 18 Mar 2016.
