About this study

Official title: Randomized, Open, Positive Drug Control, Multicenter Clinical Study of Second-line Treatment of Postoperative Recurrence and Metastasis of Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma With Chemotherapy in Patients Treated With Apatinib Mesylate

A study of second-line treatment of postoperative recurrence and metastasis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma after chemotherapy with apatinib mesylate

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized, open-label, multi-center, phase II clinical trial initiated by a investigator to observe and evaluate the efficacy of apatinib in the treatment of patients with failed first-line treatment after recurrence and metastasis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Effectiveness and security.

Being tested
Apatinib, The chemotherapeutic drug chosen by the investigator.
Medical subject headings
Esophageal Neoplasms

What participants receive

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

  • ApatinibDrug

    It is recommended that the initial dose of apatinib is 500mg po qd. Adjust the dose to 750mg po qd or maintain the original dose according to the patient's medication response for about 2 weeks. If there is grade III or above, or grade II and above non-hematologic toxicity, allow the dose to be lowered 2 times.

  • The chemotherapeutic drug chosen by the investigator.Drug

    The choice of chemotherapy regimen is based on the medication habits of the drug delivery doctor and the specific circumstances of the patient.

    In addition, the following regimens may be selected as monotherapy or combination: docetaxel 60-75 mg/m2d1 q3w; irinotecan 150-180 mg/m2 d1 q2w until disease progression or patient death. If grade 3 and above or non-hematologic toxicity of grade II and above adverse event appeared, allowing the dose to be lowered twice.

What is being measured

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

  1. PFS

    progression-free survival

    Measured: One year from admission

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. OS

    Overall Survival

    Measured: One year from admission

  2. DCR

    disease control rate

    Measured: One year from admission

  3. ORR

    Objective Response Rate

    Measured: One year from admission

Timeline

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

  1. First posted26 Dec 2018
  2. Study start1 Jan 2019 (estimated)
  3. Primary completion31 Dec 2020 (estimated)
  4. Study completion31 Dec 2021 (estimated)

Why it stopped: In China, apatinib has been approved as an indication drug for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, which makes it very difficult for our clinical trial to enroll patients. We regret that we failed to implement the design as planned.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Apatinib and The chemotherapeutic drug chosen by the investigator. in people with Esophageal Neoplasms, run by The Affiliated Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School.

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 17 inclusion and 19 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 19 Apr 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

PFS (time frame: One year from admission). 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 19 Apr 2022.
