简要总结
This phase II trial is studying how well arsenic trioxide works in treating patients with metastatic or unresectable cancer of the esophagus or gastroesophageal junction. Drugs used in chemotherapy such as arsenic trioxide use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die
详细描述
OBJECTIVES:
I. Determine the response rate and duration of response in patients with advanced adenocarcinoma of the esophagus or gastroesophageal junction treated with arsenic trioxide.
II. Determine the toxicity of this drug in these patients.
OUTLINE: This is an open-label study.
Patients receive a loading dose of arsenic trioxide IV over 2 hours on days 1-5 on week 1. Beginning on week 2, patients receive a maintenance dose of arsenic trioxide IV twice weekly thereafter. Courses repeat every 4 weeks for up to 1 year in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients achieving a complete response (CR) continue to receive therapy for at least 6 months beyond CR.

研究组 & 干预措施
Treatment (arsenic trioxide)
Patients receive a loading dose of arsenic trioxide IV over 2 hours on days 1-5 on week 1. Beginning on week 2, patients receive a maintenance dose of arsenic trioxide IV twice weekly thereafter. Courses repeat every 4 weeks for up to 1 year in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients achieving a CR continue to receive therapy for at least 6 months beyond CR.
干预措施: arsenic trioxide (Drug)
结局指标
主要结局
Objective response (OR) defined as a complete or partial remission, evaluated using RECIST criteria
时间窗: 8 weeks
次要结局
- Duration of response(From the time measurement criteria are met for CR or PR until the first date that recurrent or progressive disease is objectively documented, assessed up to 6 months)
- Toxicity graded according to the Common Toxicity Criteria version 2(Up to 6 months)
