About this study

This was a prospective, multicentre, randomised controlled clinical study to explore the safety and efficacy of esophageal arterial infusion chemotherapy in patients with resectable locally advanced oesophageal cancer, and to compare its safety and efficacy with systemic intravenous chemotherapy. The rate of surgical R0 resection as well as progression free survival (PFS) were the main indicators.

Being tested
Esophageal arterial infusion chemotherapy, Systemic intravenous chemotherapy

What participants receive

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

  • Esophageal arterial infusion chemotherapyProcedure or surgery

    Percutaneous femoral artery puncture was performed to search for feeding arterial vessels corresponding to the lesion, and chemotherapeutic drugs were directly injected into the tumor vessels via targeted blood vessels.

  • Systemic intravenous chemotherapyDrug

    Albumin paclitaxel 125 mg / m2, D1, D8 + cisplatin 75 mg / m2, D1, every 3 weeks for 1 cycle

What is being measured

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

  1. Surgical R0 resection rate

    Measured: up to 1 year

  2. Progression free survival (PFS)

    PFS was defined as the time from recruitment to the first documented progressive disease (PD) or death due to any cause, whichever occurred first.

    Measured: up to 1 year

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Pathological complete response rate(PCRR)

    Measured: up to 1 year

  2. Objective response rate(ORR)

    ORR is defined as the percentages of patients, relative to the total of enrolled subjects, achieving a complete (CR) or partial (PR) response, according to RECIST 1.1 criteria.

    Measured: up to 1 year

  3. Treatment related AES

    Measured: up to 1 year

  4. Overall survival (OS)

    The time from recruitment to death due to any cause.

    Measured: up to 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Esophageal arterial infusion chemotherapy and Systemic intravenous chemotherapy in people with Resectable Locally Advanced Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma, run by The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University.

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 10 inclusion and 12 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 May 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Gang Wu, MD (+86 13938570175, wuganghenan2015@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Surgical R0 resection rate (time frame: up to 1 year). 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 May 2022.
