Apatinib Combined With Chemotherapy for Esophageal Squamous Cell Cancer After the Failure of Standard Treatment

July 19, 2017 updated by: The First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University
We conduct the clinical trial to further explore the efficacy and safety of Apatinib combined with chemotherapy in treating recurrent or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma after the failure of conventional treatments.

Study Overview

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.

Detailed Description

Esophageal cancer is one of the most common malignant tumor and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma is the main pathological type of esophageal carcinoma in China. Treatment of recurrent or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma is usually poor. New treatments were needed. Apatinib, which was approved by CFDA (China Food and Drug Administration) for the treatment of advanced gastric cancer, is a small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor. It competes with intracellular VEGFR-2's ATP binding sites highly and selectively, thereby blocking downstream signaling to achieve the goal of inhibiting neovascularization in tumor tissue. We have observed in clinical practice that some patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma have benefited from the treatment of apatinib. So we conduct a phase II clinical trial to explore the efficacy and safety of Apatinib combined with chemotherapy (platinum and fluorouracil) in treating recurrent or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma after the failure of conventional treatments.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4.

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.
