Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 70 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Cytologically or histologically confirmed esophageal carcinoma;
  • ECOG performance status: 0-1;
  • No treatments prior to enrollment;
  • At least one measurable lesion on CT, MRI or esophageal barium exam;
  • Normal functions of heart, lung, liver, kidney and bone marrow;
  • Blood exams qualified for chemotherapy, which included hemoglobulin ≥9 g/dl, neutrophil ≥1.5×109/L and platelet (PLT) ≥100×109/L, creatinine ≤1.5 UNL;
  • Informed consent signed.

Who cannot join

  • Prior treatments of chemotherapy or irradiation;
  • Poor bone marrow, liver and kidney functions, which would make chemotherapy intolerable;
  • Contraindication for irradiation: complete obstruction of esophagus, deep esophageal ulcer, fistula to mediastinum, or haematemesis;
  • Participating in other clinical trials;
  • Clinically significant and uncontrolled major medical conditions including but not limited to: active uncontrolled infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, Unstable angina pectoris or cardiac arrhythmia, psychiatric illness/ social situation that would limit compliance with study requirements; any medical condition, which in the opinion of the study investigator places the subject at an unacceptably high risk for toxicities;
  • The subject has had another active malignancy within the past five years except for cervical cancer in site, in situ carcinoma of the bladder or non-melanoma carcinoma of the skin.

About this study

Official title: A Phase Ⅱ Study of S-1 With Concurrent Radiotherapy in Elderly Esophageal Cancer Patients

To investigate the efficacy and toxicity of S-1 with concurrent radiotherapy in older patients with esophageal cancer.

Read the detailed description

Older patients with esophageal cancer have been correlated with poor prognosis because of having little chance to receive aggressive local therapy, including concurrent chemoradiotherapy. In this phase II trial, the efficacy and toxicity of S-1 with concurrent radiotherapy will be investigated in this setting.

Being tested
S-1, radiotherapy
Keywords
Esophageal cancer, Radiotherapy, elder, S-1
Medical subject headings

What participants receive

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

  • S-1Drug

    S-1 will be administered orally twice daily for 14 days at a dose of 70 mg/m2/day with concurrent radiotherapy for 2 cycles. Patients who showed a response greater than that of stable disease underwent additional S-1 until disease progression, serious adverse events, or patient refusal up to four cycles.

  • radiotherapyRadiation

    Also called Irradiation

    Radiotherapy wiil be delivered with a daily fraction of 1.8 Gy to a total dose of 50.4 Gy.

Study groups in NCT02716688
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Radiotherapy and S-1 armExperimentalRadiotherapy will be delivered with a daily fraction of 1.8 Gy to a total dose of 50.4 Gy. Preplanned concurrent S-1 (70mg/m²/day) will be administered on Day 1 for 14 days, every 3 weeks. After dCRT, maintenance S-1 will be given up to two cycles.
Receives: Drug: S-1; Radiation: radiotherapy

What is being measured

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

  1. response rate

    Response rate will be done after 4 weeks following the last radiotherapy session.

    Measured: week 4

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Progression-free survival

    Progression-free survival (PFS) will be calculated from the date of CCRT initiation to the date of documented failure (local recurrence or metastasis occurrence) or the date of the last follow-up for those remaining.

    Measured: year 0 - year 2

  2. Acute and late toxicities assessed based on the common toxicity criteria for adverse events version 3.0 (CTCAEv3.0)

    Acute and late toxicities will be assessed based on the common toxicity criteria for adverse events version 3.0 (CTCAEv3.0).

    Measured: year 0 - year 1

  3. Overall survival

    Overall survival (OS) wiil be determined as the time (in months) between the first day of therapy and the last follow-up or the date of death.

    Measured: year 0 - year 2

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing S-1 and radiotherapy in people with Esophageal Cancer and S-1, run by Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital 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 7 inclusion and 6 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Sep 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

response rate (time frame: week 4). 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 22 Sep 2023.
