About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of Daily Low-Dose of Nedaplatin (CDGP:Cis-Diammine-Glycolatoplatinum) and Continuous Infusion of 5-FU Combined With Radiation for the Treatment of Esophageal Cancer

The purpose of this study is to clarify efficacy and toxicity of daily low-dose Nedaplatin (CDGP) and continuous infusion of 5-FU combined with radiation in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

Read the detailed description

The tumor stages and disease grades were classified according to the TNM classification (sixth edition) of the International Union against Cancer (UICC). These were determined conventionally by computed tomography (CT) of the neck, chest and abdomen, bone scan, endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS), endoscopy and esophagography.

Low-dose of Nedaplatin (CDGP) 10 mg/body/day was daily administered on day 1-5, 8-13, 15-19, 22-26 and 5-FU 500 mg/body/day was continuously administered on day 1-5, 8-13, 15-19, 22-26. Fractionated radiotherapy was performed from day 1 and a total dose of 50-60 Gy was delivered at the rate of 1.8-2.0 Gy per fraction. Serotonin receptor antagonist was preventively given as an antinauseant just before the administration of Nedaplatin.

Tumor response was assessed according to the Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (UICC, 2002). Toxicities were graded according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v3.0 (CTCAE). Survival was calculated from the start of chemoradiotherapy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing CDGP/5-FU combined with radiation and Radiotherapy in people with Esophageal Cancer and Squamous Cell Carcinoma, run by Hamamatsu University at 1 site in Japan.

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 8 inclusion and 2 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 20 Feb 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Japan. 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?

Response rate (time frame: 3 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00197444, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 20 Feb 2009.
