What participants receive

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

  • DocetaxelDrug

    5 mg/m², 10 mg/m², or 15 mg/m² given intravenously twice weekly (depending on dose under investigation at time of registration) on days 1,4 (depending on allocation of treatment schedule) for 4-6 weeks during chest radiation

  • NedaplatinDrug

    5 mg/m², 10 mg/m², or 15 mg/m² given intravenously twice weekly (depending on dose under investigation at time of registration) on days 1,4 (depending on allocation of treatment schedule) for 4-6 weeks during chest radiation

  • chest radiationRadiation

    continuous chest radiation at 64 Gy/32f

Receives: Drug: Docetaxel; Drug: Nedaplatin; Radiation: chest radiation

What is being measured

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

  1. Occurrence of dose limiting toxicity

    Measured: From start of week 1 to 2 weeks after end of combination treatment (combination treatment = 6.5 weeks)

  2. Maximum tolerated dose

    Measured: From start of week 1 to 2 weeks after end of combination treatment (combination treatment = 6.5 weeks)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Occurrence and severity of adverse events

    Measured: From start of week 1 to 6 weeks after end of combination treatment (combination treatment = 6.5 weeks)

  2. Clinical response rate

    Measured: 8 weeks after end of combination treatment

  3. Dynamic plasma concentration of docetaxel and nedaplatin

    Measured: From start of week 1 to the end of combination treatment (6.5 weeks)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Docetaxel, Nedaplatin and chest radiation in people with Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma, run by Sun Yat-sen University 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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 May 2020. 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 China. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Occurrence of dose limiting toxicity (time frame: From start of week 1 to 2 weeks after end of combination treatment (combination treatment = 6.5 weeks)). 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 15 May 2020.
