RTOG 0436, NCT00655876

Special Category: NCI Web site featured trial, CTSU trial

Objectives

Primary

  1. To evaluate whether the addition of cetuximab to chemotherapy comprising paclitaxel, cisplatin, and radiotherapy improves overall survival compared with paclitaxel, cisplatin, and radiotherapy alone in patients with esophageal cancer treated without surgery.

Secondary

  1. To evaluate whether the addition of cetuximab to paclitaxel, cisplatin, and radiotherapy improves local control by increasing the clinical complete response and decreasing local recurrence in these patients.
  2. To evaluate adverse events in these patients.
  3. To evaluate endoscopic complete response rates in these patients.
  4. To evaluate if the addition of cetuximab to paclitaxel, cisplatin, and radiotherapy improves the Esophageal Cancer Subscale score of the FACT-E quality of life tool.
  5. To evaluate the quality-adjusted survival of each treatment arm using EQ-5D if the primary endpoint supports the primary hypothesis.

Entry Criteria

Disease Characteristics:

  • Histologically confirmed primary squamous cell or adenocarcinoma of the esophagus or gastroesophageal junction
    • Patients with involvement of the gastroesophageal junction with Siewert type I or II tumors (tumors arising from the distal esophagus and involving the esophagogastric junction or tumors starting at the esophagogastric junction and involving the cardia) are eligible
    • Patients with cervical esophageal carcinoma are eligible
    • Patients with celiac, perigastric, mediastinal, or supraclavicular adenopathy are eligible
  • Stage T1, N1, M0; T2-4, Any N, M0; or Any T, Any N, M1a disease based on history/physical examination, endoscopy with biopsy, AND PET/PET-CT scan or chest/abdominal CT scan within 6 weeks prior to registration
  • Disease must be encompassed in a radiotherapy field
  • No evidence of tracheoesophageal fistulas or invasion into the trachea or major bronchi
    • Patients with T3-4 proximal thoracic esophageal tumors (15-25 cm) must undergo bronchoscopy to exclude fistula

Prior/Concurrent Therapy:

  • No prior systemic chemotherapy for esophageal cancer (prior chemotherapy for another cancer allowed)
  • No prior therapy that specifically and directly targets the EGFR pathway
  • No prior platinum-based and/or paclitaxel-based therapy
  • No prior radiotherapy that would result in overlap of planned study radiotherapy fields
  • No concurrent investigational agent
  • No concurrent cytotoxic agent
  • No other concurrent radiotherapy

Patient Characteristics:

  • Zubrod performance status 0-2
  • ANC ≥ 1,500/mm³
  • Platelets ≥ 100,000 cells/mm³
  • Hemoglobin ≥ 8.0 g/dL (transfusion or other intervention to achieve Hgb ≥ 8.0 g/dL allowed)
  • Creatinine ≤ 1.5 mg/dL
  • Bilirubin ≤ 1.5 times upper limit of normal (ULN)
  • AST ≤ 3 times ULN
  • Negative pregnancy test
  • Not pregnant or nursing
  • Fertile patients must use effective contraception
  • Total intake (oral/enteral) must be ≥ 1,500 kCal/day
  • No prior invasive malignancy except nonmelanomatous skin cancer (e.g., carcinoma in situ of the breast, oral cavity, or cervix) unless disease-free for ≥ 2 years
  • No prior allergic reaction to the study drugs
  • No prior severe infusion reaction to a monoclonal antibody
  • No severe, active comorbidity, including any of the following:
    • Unstable angina and/or congestive heart failure requiring hospitalization within the past 3 months
    • Transmural myocardial infarction within the past 6 months
    • Acute bacterial or fungal infection requiring intravenous antibiotics
    • Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbation or other respiratory illness requiring hospitalization or precluding study therapy
    • Acquired immune deficiency syndrome based upon current CDC definition
      • HIV testing is not required for entry into this study

Expected Enrollment

420

Outcomes

Primary Outcome(s)

Overall survival (failure: death due to any cause)

Secondary Outcome(s)

Local control (failure: residual cancer on post-treatment endoscopic biopsy or recurrent primary disease as defined in protocol)
Adverse events as assessed by NCI CTCAE v3.0
Endoscopic complete response rate
Health-related quality of life (FACT-E)
Quality-adjusted survival (using EQ-5D), if primary hypothesis is supported
Tissue handling/storage for future studies

Outline

This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to histology (adenocarcinoma vs squamous), cancer lesion size (< 5 cm vs ≥ 5cm), and disease status of celiac nodes (present vs absent). Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

  • Arm I: Patients receive cetuximab IV over 1-2 hours, paclitaxel IV over 1 hour, and cisplatin IV over 30-60 minutes on days 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, and 36. Patients also undergo radiotherapy once daily, 5 days a week, for 5½ weeks for a total dose of 50.4Gy.
  • Arm II: Patients receive paclitaxel and cisplatin as in arm I. Patients also undergo radiotherapy as in arm I.

Patients undergo endoscopy 6 to 8 weeks after completion of chemoradiotherapy. Quality of life is assessed at baseline, within 1 week of post-treatment endoscopy, and at 1 and 2 years from beginning of study treatment.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically.

Note: The purpose of most clinical trials listed in this database is to test new cancer treatments, or new methods of diagnosing, screening, or preventing cancer. Because all potentially harmful side effects are not known before a trial is conducted, dose and schedule modifications may be required for participants if they develop side effects from the treatment or test. The therapy or test described in this clinical trial is intended for use by clinical oncologists in carefully structured settings, and may not prove to be more effective than standard treatment. A responsible investigator associated with this clinical trial should be consulted before using this protocol.
