Surveillance of Patients With Adenocarcinoma of the Gastroesophageal Junction or Esophagus (SAGE)

February 9, 2024 updated by: The Guthrie Clinic

Study on Outcomes of Active Surveillance Among Invasive Locoregional Adenocarcinoma of Esophagus and Gastroesophageal Junction (GEJ) With Complete Response After Neoadjuvant Combined Chemoradiotherapy

The purpose of this study is to find out more information about patients who have cancer (adenocarcinoma) of the esophagus or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) who have been treated with chemotherapy and radiation but have not had surgery. The study will follow patients for 5 years to monitor for their cancer and to see how the standard medical care affects the daily life of patients.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Terminated

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 80 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Patients with adenocarcinoma of the esophageal and gastroesophageal junction

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Adenocarcinoma of esophagus or gastroesophageal junction (nidus of the cancer within 5 cm from the gastroesophageal junction) confirmed by biopsy with clinical stage I, II, or III. The superficial adenocarcinoma of the esophagus will be excluded.
  • Received no previous treatment for esophageal cancer.
  • Measurable or evaluable disease
  • ECOG performance status: 0 to 2 that is able to perform activities of daily living with minimal assistance
  • Adequate bone marrow function (hemoglobulin ≥8 g/dl, neutrophil ≥1.5x109/L and platelet ( ≥100x109/L)

  • Adequate liver function

    • Bilirubin normal, Meets 1 of the following criteria:
    • Alkaline phosphatase (AP) normal AND AST/ALT ≤ 5 times upper limit of normal (ULN)
    • AP ≤ 2.5 times ULN AND AST/ALT ≤ 1.5 times ULN
    • AP ≤ 5 times ULN AND AST/ALT normal
  • Adequate kidney function (creatinine ≤1.5 UNL and creatinine clearance ≥ 60 )
  • Be at least 4 weeks from recent major surgical procedures.
  • Patients must be able to understand the nature of the study and give written informed consent
  • At least one measurable lesion on CT, MRI or esophageal barium exam.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Age < 18 years and >80 years
  • Contraindication for irradiation: complete obstruction of esophagus, deep esophageal ulcer, fistula to mediastinum, or hematemesis
  • Participating in other clinical trials
  • Pregnancy
  • Clinically significant and uncontrolled major medical conditions including but not limited to active uncontrolled infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris or cardiac arrhythmia, psychiatric illness/ social situation that would limit compliance with study requirements
  • any medical condition, which in the opinion of the study investigator places the subject at an unacceptably high risk for toxicities

Design Details

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Progression free survival
Time Frame: 5 years
5 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Overall survival
Time Frame: 5 years
5 years
Rate of complete remission
Time Frame: 8 weeks after completion of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy
8 weeks after completion of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
December 1, 2016

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.

Study Completion (Actual)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit). The "anticipated" study completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the study completion date.
