Detailed Description

Open label single arm phase II study of cisplatin and paclitaxel in patients with recurrent or metastatic esophageal cancer. 92 Patients will be enrolled in this local trial. The primary objective of this study is to determine the response rate of the treatment.Schedule for this study is as follows: paclitaxel 150 mg/m2 will be administered as an intravenous infusion over 3 hour on Days 1, followed by cisplatin 50 mg/m2 on Days 2. This study will also include the investigation of ERCC1 expression in order to assess determinants of efficacy of the treatment with cisplatin and paclitaxel in the study population.
