About this study

Official title: The Clinical Significance of Surveillance of Lymphocyte and Immunocyte Subsets in Peripheral Blood of Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Patients With Neoadjuvant Chemoradiotherapy Combine Surgery or Surgery Alone (pLINE).

Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy treatment represents the standard approach for resectable locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. The incidence of pulmonary infection and other perioperative complications were higher in patients who received esophagectomy and neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy than those without neoadjuvant treatment and surgery patients. However, reliable clinical data can quantify the damage degree of immunologic function caused by chemotherapy and radiotherapy is still unknown. This project regards the level of lymphocyte and immunocyte in peripheral blood as a quantitative index to reflect the dynamic change of the immunologic function of patients with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy treatment. Meanwhile, the investigators will also investigate the relationship between the level of lymphocyte and immunocyte in peripheral blood and the response rate of neoadjuvant therapy.

Read the detailed description

Peripheral blood will be collected from patients who will undergo esophagectomy and/or neoadjuvant therapy. The setting time is before chemoradiotherapy, finishing chemoradiotherapy, pre-operation, postoperative day 1, day 3, day 5, and day 7. These blood samples will be used for detection and analysis in lymphocyte and immunocyte by flow cytometry.

What is being measured

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

  1. Complete pathologic response rate and its relationship between peripheral blood of lymphocyte and immunocyte.

    Definition of complete pathologic response is "no cancer cell, including lympho nodes".

    Measured: 3 months

  2. Postoperative pulmonary infection rate and its relationship between peripheral blood of lymphocyte and immunocyte.

    The pulmonary infection after surgery included bacterial pneumonia and viral pneumonia and fungal pneumonia.

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma and Neoadjuvant Therapy, run by Sichuan Cancer Hospital and Research Institute 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 9 inclusion and 18 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 19 Jun 2020. 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.

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 Xue-Feng Leng, M.D., Ph.D. (+86 18702870755, leng724@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Complete pathologic response rate and its relationship between peripheral blood of lymphocyte and immunocyte. (time frame: 3 months). 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 19 Jun 2020.
