Study of LV5FU2 Versus FOLFOX for Curatively-resected, Node-positive Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma

November 14, 2011 updated by: Samsung Medical Center

A Randomized Phase II Study of Leucovorin, 5-fluorouracil With or Without Oxaliplatin (LV5FU2 vs. FOLFOX) for Curatively-resected, Node-positive Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

Oxaliplatin is a platinum analogue that has significant antitumor activity with better tolerability than cisplatin. The objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and activity of leucovorin and 5-fluorouracil and leucovorin and 5-fluorouracil plus oxaliplatin combination chemotherapy given as adjuvant therapy for curatively-resected, node-positive esophageal cancer.
