- Registration Number
- NCT01175447
- Lead Sponsor
- Zhejiang Cancer Hospital
- Brief Summary
Elderly patients with esophageal cancer will receive thoracic radiation therapy 54Gy over 30 fractions, and concurrent with s-1 on days 1-14 and 29-42 at the following dosages: 60, 70, and 80 mg/m(2)/day.
- Detailed Description
Purpose:evaluated the dose-limiting toxicity and recommended dose of S-1 for a future phase II study when administered concurrently with thoracic radiation in elderly patients (\>70 years old) with esophageal Cancer.
Methods:S-1 was administered on days 1-14 and 29-42 at the following dosages: 60, 70, and 80mg/m(2)/day. Thoracic radiation therapy was administered in 1.8Gy fractions five times weekly to a total dose of 54 Gy.

Group Intervention Description Chemoradiotherapy with S-1 S-1 radiation 54Gy over 30 fractions,and concurrent with s-1 on days 1-14 and 29-42
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of s-1 in combination with thoracic radiotherapy in elderly patients (> 70 years old) with esophageal Cancer 3 months per patient the MTD will be defined as the maximum dose level at which no more than one subject out of six experiences a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) during treatment.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Objective response rate (e.g. complete response [CR], partial response [PR], stable disease [SD], or progressive disease [PD]). dependent upon results
