Combination Chemotherapy and Cetuximab in Treating Patients With Metastatic Esophageal Cancer or Gastroesophageal Junction Cancer

Basic Trial Information

PhaseTypeStatusAgeSponsorProtocol IDs
Phase IIBiomarker/Laboratory analysis, TreatmentActive18 and overNCICALGB-80403
ECOG-E1206, NCT00381706

Objectives

Primary

  1. Compare the tumor response rate in patients with metastatic esophageal or gastroesophageal junction cancer treated with epirubicin hydrochloride, cisplatin, fluorouracil, and cetuximab (ECF-C); irinotecan hydrochloride, cisplatin, and cetuximab (IC-C); or fluorouracil, oxaliplatin, leucovorin calcium, and cetuximab (FOLFOX-C).

Secondary

  1. Compare overall survival of patients treated with these regimens.
  2. Compare progression-free survival of patients treated with these regimens.
  3. Compare treatment failure in patients treated with these regimens.
  4. Determine the type and severity of toxicities associated with these regimens in the multi-institutional phase II setting.
  5. Correlate quantitative immunohistochemistry results with objective response rate, overall survival, and time to progression in these patients.
  6. Evaluate the cellular damage (i.e., apoptosis) as a result of oxaliplatin in these patients.
  7. Determine if germline epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) variants correlate with skin rash in patients treated with cetuximab.
  8. Correlate germline EGFR variants with tumor EGFR expression as measured by immunohistochemistry.

Entry Criteria

Disease Characteristics:

  • Histologically, cytologically, or radiologically confirmed esophageal cancer, including any of the following types:
    • Squamous cell carcinoma
    • Adenocarcinoma* of the esophagus
    • Adenocarcinoma* of the gastroesophageal (GE) junction according to Siewert classification
      • Type I or II disease
        • No type III disease

     [Note: Undifferentiated adenocarcinoma and adenosquamous tumor will be considered as adenocarcinoma]

  • Metastatic disease or locally recurrent or residual (post-resection) disease
    • Resected esophageal or GE junction disease that develops radiological or clinical evidence of metastatic disease does not require histological or cytological confirmation of metastatic disease unless 1 of the following is true:
      • More than 5 years since primary surgery and development of metastatic disease
      • Primary cancer was stage I
  • Measurable disease, defined as at least 1 unidimensionally measurable lesion (longest diameter) as ≥ 20 mm by conventional techniques or ≥ 10 mm by spiral CT scan
  • Must have ≥ 1 paraffin block (or ≥ 15 unstained slides) available for analysis of tumor epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) status
  • No known CNS metastases or carcinomatous meningitis

Prior/Concurrent Therapy:

  • See Disease Characteristics
  • No prior chemotherapy or radiotherapy
  • No prior therapy that specifically and directly targets the EGFR pathway
  • At least 4 weeks since prior major surgery* and recovered
  • At least 2 weeks since prior minor surgery* and recovered
  • No concurrent palliative radiotherapy
  • No other concurrent investigational agent
  • No other concurrent chemotherapy
  • No concurrent hormonal therapy except for the following:
    • Steroids given temporarily for adrenal failure
    • Hormones for nondisease-related conditions (e.g., insulin for diabetes)
    • Intermittent steroids (e.g., dexamethasone) as an antiemetic

 [Note: *Insertion of a vascular device is not considered major or minor surgery]

Patient Characteristics:

  • ECOG performance status 0-2
  • Platelet count ≥ 100,000/mm3
  • Granulocyte count ≥ 1,500/mm3
  • Creatinine ≤ 1.5 mg/dL
  • AST ≤ 5.0 times upper limit of normal
  • Bilirubin ≤ 1.5 mg/dL
  • Albumin ≥ 2.5 g/dL
  • Not pregnant or nursing
  • Negative pregnancy test
  • Fertile patients must use effective contraception
  • Must have a stable weight loss of (i.e., < 1 pound weight loss during the past week)
  • No diarrhea ≥ grade 2 within the past 7 days
  • No myocardial infarction within the past 6 months
  • No New York Heart Association class III or IV congestive heart failure
  • No interstitial pneumonia or symptomatic interstitial fibrosis of the lung
  • No seizure disorder or active neurological disease requiring anti-epileptic medication
  • No peripheral neuropathy ≥ grade 2
  • No evidence of Gilbert's syndrome
  • No prior allergic reaction to chimerized or murine monoclonal antibody therapy or documented presence of human anti-mouse antibodies (HAMA)

Expected Enrollment

270

A total of 270 patients will be accrued for this study.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome(s)

Tumor response rate (complete and partial) in patients with measurable esophageal or GE junction adenocarcinoma
Tumor response rate (complete and partial) in patients with adenocarcinoma who have received at least 1 treatment course as measured by RECIST criteria

Secondary Outcome(s)

Tumor response rate (complete and partial) in patients with squamous cell carcinoma
Overall survival
Progression-free survival
Time to treatment failure

Outline

This is a randomized, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to histology (squamous cell carcinoma vs adenocarcinoma) and ECOG performance status (0 or 1 vs 2). Patients are randomized to 1 of 3 treatment arms.

  • Arm I (ECF + cetuximab): Patients receive cetuximab IV over 1-2 hours on days 1, 8, and 15; epirubicin hydrochloride IV followed by cisplatin IV over 1 hour on day 1; and fluorouracil IV continuously on days 1-21. Treatment repeats every 21 days in the absence of disease progression and unacceptable toxicity.
  • Arm II (IC + cetuximab): Patients receive cetuximab IV over 1-2 hours on days 1, 8, and 15 and cisplatin IV over 30 minutes followed by irinotecan hydrochloride IV over 90 minutes on days 1 and 8. Treatment repeats every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
  • ARM III (FOLFOX + cetuximab): Patients receive cetuximab IV over 1-2 hours on days 1 and 8; oxaliplatin IV over 2 hours followed by leucovorin calcium IV over 2 hours on day 1; and fluorouracil IV continuously over 46-48 hours on days 1 and 2. Treatment repeats every 14 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients undergo tumor sample collection at baseline to examine quantitative immunofluorescence with subcellular localization for epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), phospho EGFR, HER-2, phospho-HER-2, HER-3, HER-4, FEF, AKT, phospho AKT, PTEN, gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP), and GRP receptor levels. Tumor samples are collected at baseline from patients randomized to arm III to evaluate molecular mechanisms for correlative studies. Cellular damage (i.e., apoptosis) by oxaliplatin is determined by DNA fragmentation by TUNEL assay.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically for up to 2 years.

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.
