Trial summary

Data were collected on a large multi-institution dataset consisting of ESCC patients who underwent surgery between January 2003 and December 2013 at ten institutions in the People's Republic of China. The datasets were approved for research by the institutional review board of each participating center. Read more about this study

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 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients elder than 18 years old received computerised tomography (CT) of the chest and abdomen and EUS as part of their routine staging workup. Patients received whole body FDG-PET to eliminate the possibility of distant metastases if the attending physician considered it was necessary. Patients underwent R0 resection and lymphadenectomy.

Who may be able to join

  • Minimum age: 18 years
  • Patients underwent R0 resection and lymphadenectomy.
  • ECOG PS less than or equal 2
  • Adequate bone marrow function: Leukocytes > 3,5 x 10^9/L Absolute neutrophil count > 1,5 x 10^9/L Platelet count > 100 x 10^9/L Hemoglobin > 10 g/dl
  • Adequate hepatic function: Total bilirubin < 2,0 mg/dl ALAT, ASAT, alkaline phosphatase, gamma-GT < 3 x ULN 7. Serum creatinine < 1,5 mg/dl, creatinine-clearance > 50 ml/min
  • Written informed consent before randomization

Who cannot join

  • R1 or R2 resection
  • Patients underwent neoadjuvant therapy
  • Fertile patients without adequate contraception during therapy
  • Psychological, familial, sociological or geographical condition potentially hampering compliance with the study protocol and follow-up schedule
  • History of severe somatic or psychological diseases: - instable cardiac disease not well controlled with medication, myocardial infarction within the last 6 months:* Central nervous system disorders or psychiatric disability including dementia or epileptic disease; * active uncontrolled intercurrent infections or sepsis
  • Previous or concurrent malignancies, with the exception of adequately treated basal cell carcinoma of the skin or in situ carcinoma of the cervix. The inclusion of patients with other adequately treated tumors within the last 5 years has to be discussed with the principal investigator

About this study

Official title: Prognostic Value of Examined and Metastatic Lymph Nodes in Chinese Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Patients Received Lymphadenectomy

Data were collected on a large multi-institution dataset consisting of ESCC patients who underwent surgery between January 2003 and December 2013 at ten institutions in the People's Republic of China. The datasets were approved for research by the institutional review board of each participating center. Prior to surgery, all patients received computerised tomography (CT) of the chest and abdomen and EUS as part of their routine staging workup. Patients received whole body FDG-PET to eliminate the possibility of distant metastases if the attending physician considered it was necessary. All patients in the dataset received a surgical R0 resection; patients who received an R1 or R2 resection were excluded. Notably, there is nothing approaching a consensus on the extent of lymph node dissection for ESCC patients. Patients who received neoadjuvant therapy were excluded due to the influence of neoadjuvant therapy on lymph node status and pathologic T stage. The primary endpoints were overall survival (OS), which was defined as the time between surgical resection and death from any cause, and cancer-specific survival (CSS), defined as the time from surgical resection to death caused by ESCC. After receiving esophagectomy, patients were followed up by clinical examination every three months for the first year, every three to six months for the second year, and every six to twelve months from then on.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma, run by Shanghai Cancer Hospital, 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 6 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Feb 2021. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

OS (time frame: Five 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 23 Feb 2021.
