About this study

Official title: SYSTEMATIC SURGERY VERSUS SURVEILLANCE AND RESCUE SURGERY IN OPERABLE CANCER OF THE OESOPHAGUS WITH A COMPLETE CLINICAL RESPONSE TO RADIOCHEMOTHERAPY

Step 1: Inclusion of eligible patients to carry out a translational search for prognostic and predictive markers of Complete Clinical Response and Pathologic Complete Response (using blood samples and diagnostic biopsies) and to collect data on radiochemotherapy and its toxicity.

The trial will evaluate strategies after neoadjuvant treatment and not RCT protocols. The RCT will thus be chosen by the investigator from published effective schemes in a pre-operative setting or in patients not undergoing surgery.

Read more

Evaluation of the response 5 to 6 weeks after the RCT.

Step 2: Randomisation in patients with a complete clinical response:

Arm A: Systematic surgery Arm B: Surveillance and rescue surgery in cases with resectable loco-regional recurrence

Patients not eligible for randomisation will have the possibility to participate in a specific study (information can be obtained from the SAKK group (Switzerland Group Clinical Research on Cancer)).

Being tested
Systematic surgery, Surveillance and rescue surgery in cases of resectable loco-regional recurrence
Medical subject headings
Carcinoma, Squamous Cell

What is being measured

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

  1. Proportion of surviving patients

    Measured: 1 year after randomisation

  2. Disease-free survival

    Measured: Up to 5 years

Timeline

From the start of the study to its completion; the mark is today. Estimated dates are the sponsor’s plan.

  1. First posted16 Sep 2015 (estimated)
  2. Study start14 Mar 2016
  3. Primary completion15 Mar 2023

Why it stopped: sub-optimal inclusion rate, additional 9 years to finalize inclusion and follow-up of all patients.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Systematic surgery and Surveillance and rescue surgery in cases of resectable loco-regional recurrence in people with Epidermoid Carcinoma or and Adenocarcinoma of the Thoracic Oesophagus or, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Dijon at 18 sites in France.

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 5 inclusion and 8 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 7 Mar 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 18 sites in France. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 was stopped early (reason given: sub-optimal inclusion rate, additional 9 years to finalize inclusion and follow-up of all patients.). 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?

Proportion of surviving patients (time frame: 1 year after randomisation). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 7 Mar 2024.
