Oxaliplatin Combined With Fluorouracil and Leucovorin in Treating Patients With Recurrent or Metastatic Cancer of the Esophagus or Stomach
A Phase 2 study testing FOLFOX regimen, fluorouracil and leucovorin calcium in people with Esophageal Cancer and Gastric Cancer, run by University of Chicago at 22 sites in 2 countries.
Trial summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining oxaliplatin with fluorouracil and leucovorin in treating patients who have… Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: A Phase II Study of Oxaliplatin in Combination With Fluorouracil and Leucovorin in Carcinoma of the Esophagus and Gastric Cardia
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells.
PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining oxaliplatin with fluorouracil and leucovorin in treating patients who have recurrent or metastatic cancer of the esophagus or stomach.
Read the detailed description
OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the response rate in patients with recurrent or metastatic carcinoma of the esophagus or gastric cardia receiving the combination of oxaliplatin, fluorouracil, and leucovorin calcium. II. Determine the duration of response and overall survival of this patient population receiving this regimen. III. Determine the toxicity, including neurotoxicity, of this regimen in this patient population.
OUTLINE: This is an open-label, multicenter study. Patients receive oxaliplatin IV over 2 hours on day 1, then leucovorin calcium IV over 2 hours with fluorouracil IV bolus, followed by fluorouracil IV over 22 hours on days 1 and 2. Treatment continues every 2 weeks for a minimum of 3 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients with stable or responding disease receive at least 3 additional courses of therapy. Patients are followed for a minimum of 2 years or until death.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 12-37 patients will be accrued for this study over 18 months.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing FOLFOX regimen, fluorouracil and leucovorin calcium in people with Esophageal Cancer and Gastric Cancer, run by University of Chicago at 22 sites in 2 countries.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
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 11 Feb 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 22 sites in United States, Puerto Rico. 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.
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?
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?
Clinical response rate (time frame: 3 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 11 Feb 2013; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
