About this study

Official title: A Phase I/II Trial of Weekly Regimens of Nab-paclitaxel Plus Cispaltin Combined With Concurrent IMRT for Inoperable,Locally Advanced Esophageal Carcinoma

This trial is going to evaluate the efficacy and safety of IMRT / nab-TP chemotherapy for unresectable esophageal cancer, and to investigate the optimal concurrent chemotherapy regimen for local advanced and unresectable esophageal cancer patients.

Read the detailed description

Esophageal carcinoma is the sixth leading cause of cancer-related mortality from cancer with 407000 deaths and the eighth most common cancer worldwide. Concurrent chemoradiotherapy remains the mainstay of treatment for locally advanced esophageal cancer. Paclitaxel combined with radiotherapy was high efficiency and achieved encouraging results. Compared with paclitaxel, nab-paclitaxel has a low toxicity, low allergy and the tolerance is better than paclitaxel. According to the pre-clinical results, investigators designed a prospective study, which is combined nab-paclitaxel and cisplatin with concurrent chemoradiotherapy for the patients with locally advanced esophageal cancer, and evaluated the tolerability and efficacy. we design enrolled 30 patients, the end point included toxicity, progression-free survival and overall survival.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing nab-paclitaxel group in people with Esophageal Cancer, run by Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and 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 5 inclusion and 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Feb 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Ping Wang, M. D. (0862223340123, wangping@tjmuch.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Progress free survival (time frame: 3 years). 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 Feb 2017.
