Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Esophageal Cancer
Interventions
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.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of s-1 in combination with thoracic radiotherapy in elderly patients (> 70 years old) with esophageal Cancer3 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
NameTimeMethod
Objective response rate (e.g. complete response [CR], partial response [PR], stable disease [SD], or progressive disease [PD]).dependent upon results
