NCT04513808

Brief Summary

The investigators propose to compare recurrence-free survival in patients having potentially curative (Stages 1-3) surgery for esophageal cancer who will be randomly assigned to propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia or sevoflurane-based balanced general anesthesia.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Recurrence-free survival

    Patients who did not experience cancer recurrence and/or death.

    4 years

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • ICU duration

    From ICU admission until the date of ICU discharge or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 100 months

  • Hospital duration

    Up to 100 months

  • QoR-15

    2 days

Study Arms (2)

Propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia. A target-controlled infusion will be set to 2-4 µg/ml plasma concentrations, and varied as clinical necessary.

Drug: Propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia

Sevoflurane intravenous anesthesia

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Anesthesia will be maintained with sevoflurane, typically at an end-tidal concentration of 0.6-1.0 MAC, but adjusted as clinically necessary

Drug: Sevoflurane intravenous anesthesia

Interventions

Propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia, titrated to clinical need.

Also known as: Propofol
Propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia

Sevoflurane intravenous anesthesia, titrated to clinical need.

Also known as: Sevoflurane

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 90 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Primary esophageal cancer without known extension beyond the esophagus. (i.e. believed to be Tumor Stage 1-3).
  • Scheduled for potentially curative esophageal cancer surgery.
  • Written informed consent, including willingness to be randomized to intravenous versus volatile anesthesia.

You may not qualify if:

  • Previous surgery for esophageal cancer (except diagnostic biopsies) Age \<18 or \>85 years old.
  • ASA Physical Status ≥4.
  • Any contraindication to propofol or sevoflurane.
  • Other cancer not believed by the attending surgeon to be in long-term remission.
  • Systemic disease believed by the attending surgeon to present ≥25% two- year mortality.

Model Details: As usual with time-to-event outcomes, enrollment will be based on the number of outcome events, not the number of patients enrolled. We anticipate that about 1614 patients will be required to generate 579 recurrences and/or deaths, but this is only a rough estimate since follow-up duration is a function of when patients are enrolled, not just their number.
