NCT00193128

Brief Summary

In this phase I/II trial, we will evaluate a novel combination of chemotherapy, used concurrently with radiation therapy, in the preoperative therapy of locoregional carcinoma of the esophagus and gastroesophageal junction. In the brief phase I portion of this trial, we will determine whether 2 drugs (docetaxel/oxaliplatin) or 3 drugs (docetaxel/oxaliplatin/capecitabine) can be used concurrently with radiation therapy. If the 3-drug regimen is tolerated, the phase II portion will proceed with this regimen. If the 3-drug combination is considered too toxic, the phase II study will proceed with docetaxel/oxaliplatin in combination with radiation therapy.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Pathologic Complete Response Rate (PCRR), the Percentage of Patients Who Have No Evidence of Cancer in Their Surgical Specimen Following Surgery

    The absence of any residual tumor cells in a histologic evaluation of a tumor specimen following surgery is defined as a complete pathologic response

    18 months

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Disease-Free Survival (DFS)

    18 months

  • Overall Survival (OS)

    36 months

Study Arms (2)

Cohort 1

EXPERIMENTAL

Oxaliplatin 40 mg/m2 intravenously (IV) over 2 hours and docetaxel 20 mg/m2 IV over 30 minutes on days 1, 8, 15, 22, and 29. Radiation therapy began concurrently with day 1 of chemotherapy at a dose of 1.8 Gy/d Monday through Friday to a total of 45 Gy (25 fractions). Patients were to have esophageal resection after completion of preoperative therapy during weeks 9 to 12 and after all treatment-related side effects were resolved.

Cohort 2

EXPERIMENTAL

Oxaliplatin 40 mg/m2 intravenously (IV) over 2 hours and docetaxel 20 mg/m2 IV over 30 minutes on days 1, 8, 15, 22, and 29. Capecitabine was administered 1000 mg/m2 orally twice daily on days 1 to 7, 15 to 21, and 29 to 35. Radiation therapy began concurrently with day 1 of chemotherapy at a dose of 1.8 Gy/d Monday through Friday to a total of 45 Gy (25 fractions). Patients were to have esophageal resection after completion of preoperative therapy during weeks 9 to 12 and after all treatment-related side effects were resolved.
