Definitive Chemoradiotherapy and Cetuximab in the Treatment of Locally Advanced Esophageal Cancer (LERFOX-C)
A Phase II Study With Oxaliplatin + 5-FU + Ceuximab and Radiotherapy for the Treatment of Non-resectable, Locally Advanced But Not Metastatic Cancer of Oesophagus or the Cardia.
Study Overview
Detailed Description
Patients are treated with three cycles of oxaliplatin and fluorouracil 750 mg/m2/24 hours, day 1-5. Each cycle lasts for 21 days. Oxaliplatin is given with 130 mg/m2 in the first cycle and in cycle 2 and 3 which are administered concomitant with radiotherapy the dose is reduced to 85 mg/m2.
A loading dose of cetuximab 400 mg/m2 is given one week before the start of radiotherapy, and thereafter 250 mg/m2 is given weekly during the course of radiotherapy.
Concomitant with chemotherapy radiotherapy to a total dose of 50 Gy is given (2 Gy once daily in 25 fractions, 5 days a week) with a photon beam linear accelerator.
After treatment patients are followed every 6 months for three years with clinical examination and a CT-scan.
