Clinical Trial Summary

This phase I trial investigates the side effects and best dose of adavosertib and how well it works when given in combination with radiation therapy in treating patients with esophageal or gastroesophageal junction cancer for which no treatment is currently available (incurable). Adavosertib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving adavosertib together with radiation therapy kill more tumor cells than radiation therapy alone in treating patients with esophageal and gastroesophageal junction cancer.


Clinical Trial Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To identify the maximally tolerated dose of adavosertib (AZD1775) to be used in combination with radiation therapy for patients with esophageal/gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) cancer that is metastatic or inoperable and not eligible for definitive chemoradiation. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To observe and record anti-tumor activity. II. To evaluate the efficacy of AZD1775 when administered in combination with radiation therapy by assessing changes in Ogilvie dysphagia score following treatment, time to second intervention for dysphagia, and overall survival. III. To identify biomarkers that are predictive for response to experimental therapy. OUTLINE: This is a dose escalation study of adavosertib. Patients undergo radiation therapy once daily (QD) 5 days per week for 3 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also receive adavosertib orally (PO) QD for 2-5 days (depending on dose level) during weeks 1 and 3 of radiation therapy in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 3 weeks, every 3 months for 2 years, then every 6 months for 3 years. ;
