NCT01129206

Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Pralatrexate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving pralatrexate together with docetaxel may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving pralatrexate together with docetaxel works in treating patients with stage IV esophageal or gastroesophageal cancer who have failed platinum-based therapy.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Overall Response

    Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), \>=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR

    Approximately three years

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Progression-free Survival (PFS)

    Approximately three years

  • Overall Survival (OS)

    Approximately five years

  • Correlation of FDG PET Response With Response Rate

    Approximately three years
