NCT00316862

Brief Summary

This phase II trial studies how well giving cisplatin and irinotecan hydrochloride together with radiation therapy works in treating patients with esophageal cancer or gastroesophageal junction cancer that can be removed by surgery. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin and irinotecan hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Giving combination chemotherapy together with radiation therapy before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Proportion of Patients With Adenocarcinoma Achieving a Pathologic Complete Response (CR) After Surgery

    A pathological complete response is defined as no tumor found on pathology review at surgery in all resected lymph nodes and tissue. All tissues sampled must have NO viable tumor

    Up to 5 years

Secondary Outcomes (6)

  • Utility of Early PET Imaging in Predicting Response to Treatment

    Up to 55 days

  • Disease-free Survival

    Up to 5 years

  • Overall Survival

    Up to 5 years

  • Patterns of Failure

    Up to 5 years

  • Proportion of Patients Experiencing Grade 3 or Greater Pneumonitis or Esophagitis

    Up to 5 years

  • +1 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (1)

Treatment (chemotherapy, chemoradiotherapy, surgery)

EXPERIMENTAL

INDUCTION CHEMOTHERAPY (COURSES 1-2): Patients receive cisplatin intravenously (IV) over 30 minutes and irinotecan hydrochloride IV over 30-90 minutes on days 1 and 8 of courses 1 and 2. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 2 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. CHEMORADIOTHERAPY (COURSES 3-4): Beginning 2 weeks after completion of induction chemotherapy, patients receive cisplatin and irinotecan hydrochloride as in induction chemotherapy on days 1 and 8 of courses 3 and 4 and undergo radiotherapy daily 5 days a week in course 3. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 2 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. SURGERY: Approximately 4-8 weeks after completion of chemoradiotherapy, patients undergo surgery to remove the tumor.
