NCT00393068

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to see if adding two targeted drugs (bevacizumab and erlotinib) further improves the response to chemotherapy (5-FU, paclitaxel, carboplatin) and radiation therapy in patients with operable esophageal cancer. Side effects (toxicity) information will also be collected.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Pathologic Complete Response (pCR) Rate

    pCR was defined as no residual viable cancer found at the primary site or regional lymph nodes upon pathologic review of the surgical specimen for patients who went to surgical resection.

    18 months

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Overall Survival

    32 months

  • Progression-Free Survival

    36 months

Study Arms (1)

Treatment

EXPERIMENTAL

Prior to surgery study treatment will be given over a 6 weeks (Days 1-42) period. Beginning Day 1 and continuing through Day 35 patients will receive a continuous infusion of 5-FU by vein. A small portable pump will be used to administer this drug into a tube that has been surgically inserted into the patient's vein. On Day 1 and 22 patients will also receive the drugs paclitaxel, carboplatin and bevacizumab by vein. Erlotinib is given by mouth beginning on Day 1 and continuing through Day 45. Patients will receive radiation therapy daily, Monday through Friday, beginning Day 1-35 (approximately 5 weeks). Surgery will be performed approximately 12-14 weeks after beginning this combined treatment.
