Clinical Trial Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy with or without radiation therapy in treating patients who have esophageal cancer.


Clinical Trial Description

OBJECTIVES:

- Determine the median and two-year disease-free and overall survival of patients with resectable esophageal cancer treated with neoadjuvant paclitaxel, cisplatin, and fluorouracil with concurrent radiotherapy.

- Determine the complete and partial responses in patients treated with this regimen.

- Assess the toxicity of this regimen in these patients.

- Determine the optimal dose of paclitaxel when administered in this regimen in these patients.

- Determine the effect of tumor tubulin isoform expression on chemosensitivity and overall survival of patients treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE: Patients receive paclitaxel IV over 3 hours and cisplatin IV over 1 hour on day 1. Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for 2 courses.

Beginning 3 weeks after completion of initial chemotherapy, patients receive concurrent chemoradiotherapy comprising paclitaxel IV over 1 hour and cisplatin IV over 1 hour on days 1, 8, 15, 22, and 29; fluorouracil IV continuously for 5 weeks; and radiotherapy daily 5 days a week for 5 weeks.

At 4-8 weeks after completion of chemoradiotherapy, patients may undergo surgical resection. Patients with local progressive disease after 2 courses of initial chemotherapy undergo surgical resection instead of receiving concurrent chemoradiotherapy.

Patients are followed within 6 weeks, every 3 months for 3 years, and then annually for 2 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 14-30 patients will be accrued for this study. ;
