About this study
Official title: A Phase Ⅰ/Ⅱ Study of Simultaneous Integrated Boost Radiotherapy and Concurrent Chemotherapy in Patients With Locally Advanced Esophageal Carcinoma
This phase Ⅰ/Ⅱ trial is designed to explore a higher radiation dose by using IMRT simultaneous integrated boost technique with or without concurrent chemotherapy for locally advanced esophageal carcinoma.
Read the detailed description
Despite the application of IMRT and the studies of concurrent chemoradiation in esophageal carcinoma, which improves 5-year survival rate from 10% to 20%-40% and decrease recurrence rate from 80% to 50%-60%, local recurrence remains to be the most common failure pattern. Therefore, enhancing local control is the key to obtain a better survival.
A phase Ⅱ study of radical radiotherapy with IMRT simultaneous integrated boost technique and concurrent chemotherapy for esophageal carcinoma use the same radiation dose as the high dose arm in RTOG 94-05, which reveals an significantly improved median survival time of 23 months and 3-year overall survival rate of 44.4%. This study implies the simultaneous integrated boost technique may be effective to some extent. But the question is how to identify patients who may gain potential benefits, and whether this therapeutic model can be copied in the specific situation in China? Few adverse effects such as perforation, hemorrhage and stenosis was reported, mainly owing to the lack of cases. For widely application of this new technique in the clinic, more studies need to be conducted in the future to obtain sufficient evidence.
The current IMRT can simultaneously achieve prophylactic dose (DT 50Gy) and radical dose (DT 60-64Gy) in respective target volume by using inverse intensity-modulated planning system. However, it is still controversial on whether esophageal carcinoma can receive prescription dose more than 2.0Gy each time. That is to say, it is challengeable to find an optimal fraction dose and total dose between tumor and adverse effects. For this reason, the dose escalation trial is to be conducted to explore the clinical value and optimal dose to esophageal carcinoma with different radiosensitivity, and also provide data support for phase Ⅲ clinical trials.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1/2 study testing IMRT simultaneous integrated boost, Paclitaxel and Nedaplatin in people with Esophageal Neoplasms, 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 4 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 18 Jan 2017. 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 combined 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.
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-free survival (DFS) (time frame: up to 3 years). 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 NCT02429622, which also lists 5 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 18 Jan 2017.
