Paclitaxel or S1 Plus Cisplatin in Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy for Squamous Cell Carcinoma of Esophagus

October 23, 2015 updated by: Feng Gao, Mianyang Central Hospital

A Phase II Study to Compare Paclitaxel or S1 Plus Cisplatin in Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy for Squamous Cell Carcinoma of Esophagus

The purpose of this study is to determine which regimen is better for esophageal squamous carcinoma in concurrent chemoradiation(CCRT),paclitaxel or S1 plus cisplatin.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Radiotherapy:Patients will be conducted CT simulation, and three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3DCRT) was performed. 1.8-2.0 Gy/fraction, 5 fractions a week, with a total dose of 60-66Gy will be delivered for all patients by 6-MV-X-ray of linear accelerator.

Chemotherapy: Patients will be concurrently administered with irradiation every 3 weeks with PT regimen (cisplatin of 20 mg/m2/d, d1-3; PTX(paclitaxel)of 135mg/m2/d, d1) for 4 cycles or PS regimen (cisplatin of 20 mg/m2/d, d1-3; S1(Tegafur Gimeracil Oteracil Potassium Capsule)of 50mg/m2/d, d1-14) for 4 cycles. For the first 2-cycles of chemotherapy they will be concurrently given with irradiation and the remained 2 cycles, after irradiation.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Paclitaxel plus Cisplatin with radiotherapy
patients will receive concurrent chemoradiotherapy with drug Paclitaxel plus Cisplatin

we want to compare which regime is better with radiotherapy, PT regime (paclitaxel and cisplatine ) Chemotherapy: Patients will be concurrently administered with irradiation every 3 weeks with PT regimen (cisplatin of 20 mg/m2/d, d1-3; PTX(paclitaxel)of 135mg/m2/d, d1) for 4 cycles. For the first 2-cycles of chemotherapy they will be concurrently given with irradiation and the remained 2 cycles, after irradiation.

Radiotherapy:Patients will be conducted CT simulation, and Intensity-modulated radiation therapy(IMRT)was performed. 1.8-2.0 Gy/fraction, 5 fractions a week, with a total dose of 60-66Gy will be delivered for all patients by 6-MV-X-ray of linear accelerator.

Experimental: S1 plus Cisplatin with radiotherapy
patients will receive concurrent chemoradiotherapy with drug S1 plus Cisplatin

we want to compare which regime is better with radiotherapy,SP regime (Tegafur Gimeracil Oteracil Potassium Capsule and cisplatine).

Chemotherapy: Patients will be concurrently administered with irradiation every 3 weeks with PS regimen (cisplatin of 20 mg/m2/d, d1-3; S1(Tegafur Gimeracil Oteracil Potassium Capsule)of 50mg/m2/d, d1-14) for 4 cycles. For the first 2-cycles of chemotherapy they will be concurrently given with irradiation and the remained 2 cycles, after irradiation.

Radiotherapy:Patients will be conducted CT simulation, and Intensity-modulated radiation therapy(IMRT)was performed. 1.8-2.0 Gy/fraction, 5 fractions a week, with a total dose of 60-66Gy will be delivered for all patients by 6-MV-X-ray of linear accelerator.
