Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • objective tumor response rate

    Up to 5 years

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • time to progression

    Up to 5 years

  • overall survival

    Up to 5 years

Study Arms (1)

irinotecan + docetaxel

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients receive irinotecan IV over 90 minutes followed by docetaxel IV over 1 hour on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21 days in the absence of unacceptable toxicity or disease progression. Patients achieving a complete response (CR) receive 2 additional courses after CR. Patients experiencing disease progression after a CR and 2 additional courses may be retreated with irinotecan and docetaxel. Dysphagia, anorexia, and swallowing ability are assessed before the first course of treatment and then at each tumor assessment. Patients are followed every 3 months for 1 year and then every 6 months for 4 years.
