What is being measured

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

  1. Overall survival

    Measured: 5 year

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) questionnaire module to assess quality of life (QOL)

    The EORTC QLQ-core 30 questionnaire is composed of multi-item scales and single-item measures including 5 functional scales, 3 symptom scales, a global health status-QoL scale, and 6 single items. Each of the multi-item scales includes a different set of items - no item occurs in more than 1 scale. High scale score=higher response level; a high score for a functional scale=a healthy level of function, high score for the global health status/QoL=high quality of life but a high score for a symptom scale / item=high level of symptomatology/problems. The principle for scoring these scales: 1.) Estimate the average of the items that contribute to the scale = raw score. 2.) Linear transformation to standardize the raw score, so that scores range from 0 to 100. Results should be interpreted with caution as the numbers of patients with available data over time were limited, and because of high variances as evidenced by large standard deviations.

    Measured: 5 year

  2. Costs of treatment

    Financial burden, Whether medical insurance is affordable

    Measured: 5 year

  3. Proportion of using chemotherapy or target therapy concurrently with radiotherapy

    Medication

    Measured: 2 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Esophageal Neoplasms, run by Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences 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 3 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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?

Overall survival (time frame: 5 year). 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?
