NCT00833625

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if the results of a positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scan done 10-14 days after beginning chemotherapy and radiation (chemoradiation) can predict how a patient with cancer of the esophagus will respond to chemoradiation. Researchers also want to learn if biomarkers (substances in the body associated with cancer) found in tumor tissue can predict response to chemoradiation.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Pathologic Response

    From baseline PET-CT to "early" PET-CT \[12 + 2 days after the start of chemoradiation\] Frequency and percentage of pathologic complete response (pathCR) and extreme chemoradiation resistance (exCRTR) patients tabulated. Exploratory graphics, such as box plots, used to illustrate distribution of PET/CT maximum SUV by pathCR (or exCRTR) status. A logistic regression model fit for pathCR (and separately, for exCRTR), with baseline and the change of maximum SUV between baseline and early chemoradiation included as covariates.

    PET-CT at 12 + 2 days after the start of chemoradiation

Study Arms (1)

PET/CT Scan + Biomarkers Testing

EXPERIMENTAL

PET/CT scan with fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) solution by vein, scan done 10-14 days after beginning chemotherapy and radiation (chemoradiation). Tissue obtained at MDACC during previous biopsy and at time of post chemoradiation surgery will be used for biomarker analysis.

Procedure: PET/CT (FDG PET/CT)Other: Biomarker Testings

Interventions

PET/CT scan with fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) solution by vein, scan done 10-14 days after beginning chemotherapy and radiation (chemoradiation).

Also known as: Positron emission tomography/computed tomography
PET/CT Scan + Biomarkers Testing

Tissue obtained at MDACC during previous biopsy and at time of post chemoradiation surgery will be used for biomarker analysis.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Patient must have histologic documentation of adenocarcinoma or squamous carcinoma of the esophagus at M. D. Anderson Cancer Center (MDACC).
  • Patients with localized carcinoma of the esophagus who have undergone standard testing and been evaluated by the multidisciplinary team at MDACC and are considered appropriate candidates for and are willing to undergo chemoradiation therapy followed by surgery at MDACC. Radiation may be delivered as proton or photon. These patients have clinical stage II or III cancers and they are considered medically fit to undergo surgery.
  • Patient must have undergone a baseline esophagealgastroduodenoscopy (EGD) with biopsy and endoscopic ultrasonography at MDACC, with tissue available for biomarker analysis.
  • Patient must have undergone a baseline FDG-PET/CT at MDACC or an outside institution.
  • Patient must be willing to undergo a research "early" FDG-PET/CT (12 +/- 2 days from the start of chemoradiation).
  • Patient must provide written informed consent.
  • Patient must be \>/= 18 years of age.

You may not qualify if:

  • Patient is unable or unwilling to comply with the requirements of the protocol.
  • Patient had baseline FDG-PET/CT scan maximum SUV of \< 4.0.
  • Patient is not a candidate for chemoradiation followed by surgery.
  • Patients who received induction chemotherapy prior to chemoradiation therapy are excluded.
  • Patients with T1N0 or T4anyN are excluded.
