About this study

Official title: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Clinical Study Comparing Curative Effect of Non-surgical Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma With Radical Chemoradiotherapy and Radical Chemoradiotherapy Combined With Consolidation Chemotherapy

This study is a phase III, multicenter, prospective randomized controlled clinical study comparing the efficacy of non-surgical esophageal squamous cell carcinoma with radical chemoradiotherapy and radical chemoradiotherapy combined with consolidation chemotherapy. The survival time and side effects of patients were observed and compared.

Read the detailed description

Test grouping:

Group A: radical chemoradiotherapy group; Group B: radical chemoradiotherapy combined with consolidation chemotherapy group;

Specific chemotherapy regimens:

Concurrent chemotherapy (2 courses): Lipusu (T) + Cisplatin (DDP) scheme: T 135mg/m2 ivgtt, d1, 3week*2cycles; DDP 75mg/m2 ivgtt, d2, 3week*2cycles; Consolidation chemotherapy (4 courses): After the concurrent chemoradiotherapy is over, after 2-3 weeks of rest, the patients in the consolidation chemotherapy group will be given 4 cycles of consolidation chemotherapy, and the chemotherapy regimen is the same as the concurrent chemotherapy regimen; Radiotherapy scheme: intensity modulated radiotherapy PTV50-54Gy, PGTV 56-60Gy, conventional fractionation.

Primary efficacy endpoints: 3-year overall survival (OS), 5-year overall survival (OS) Secondary efficacy endpoints: 3-year progression-free survival (PFS), 5-year progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), toxic and side effects, and patient quality of life

Being tested
Consolidation chemotherapy (4 courses), Concurrent chemotherapy (2 courses)

What is being measured

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

  1. 3-years overall survival (OS)

    Overall survival was measured from the initiation of chemotherapy to the date of the last follow-up or death.

    Measured: up to 3 years

  2. 5-years overall survival (OS)

    Overall survival was measured from the initiation of chemotherapy to the date of the last follow-up or death.

    Measured: up to 5 years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. 3-year progression-free survival (PFS)

    The PFS was calculated from the initiation of chemotherapy to the date of disease progression or death.

    Measured: up to 3 years

  2. Objective response rate (ORR) Objective response rate (ORR)

    Proportion of patients with reduction in tumor burden of a predefined amount, including complete remission and partial remission

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 36 month

  3. 5-year progression-free survival (PFS)

    The PFS was calculated from the initiation of chemotherapy to the date of disease progression or death.

    Measured: up to 5 years
