Oxaliplatin (NSC-266046) Plus Protracted Infusion 5-Fluorouracil And Radiation For Potentially Curable Esophageal Cancer: A Phase II Trial With Molecular Correlates


OBJECTIVES:

Primary

- Determine the pathologic complete response probability in patients with stage II or III
adenocarcinoma of the esophagus or gastroesophageal junction treated with neoadjuvant
oxaliplatin, fluorouracil, and radiotherapy followed by definitive surgical resection.

Secondary

- Determine the frequency and severity of toxic effects associated with this neoadjuvant
regimen in these patients.

- Determine the overall survival and progression-free survival of patients treated with
this regimen.

Exploratory Analyses (subject to funding availability)

- Correlate, preliminarily, initial messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) levels of the genes
for thymidylate synthase (TS), γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (γGT), γ-glutamyl cysteine
(γ-GCS), DNA excision repair cross-complementing (ERCC-1), and xeroderma pigmentosum
(XPA) with response and survival of patients treated with this regimen.

- Correlate, preliminarily, the mRNA levels of TS, γGT, γ-GCS, ERCC-1, and XPA before and
after treatment with this regimen with survival of these patients.

- Correlate, preliminarily, specific genetic polymorphisms of TS and ERCC-1 with tumor
response and overall survival of patients treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

- Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy: Patients receive oxaliplatin IV over 2 hours on days 1,
15, and 29 and fluorouracil (5-FU) IV continuously on days 8-43. Beginning on day 8,
patients also undergo radiotherapy once daily, 5 days a week, for 5 weeks.

- Surgery: Patients with stable disease or better undergo surgical resection 4-10 weeks
after completion of chemoradiotherapy.

- Adjuvant chemotherapy: Beginning 4-10 weeks after surgery, patients receive
chemotherapy comprising oxaliplatin IV over 2 hours on days 1, 15, and 29 and 5-FU IV
continuously on days 1-36.

Treatment continues in the absence of unacceptable toxicity or disease progression.

Patients are followed every 3 months for 1 year and then every 6 months for 2 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 45-85 patients will be accrued for this study within 17-21
months.

Inclusion Criteria


DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS:

- Histologically confirmed primary adenocarcinoma of the thoracic esophagus or
gastroesophageal junction

- Measurable or non-measurable disease by x-ray, scanning, or physical examination

- No celiac axis nodes ≥ 1.5 cm

- Measurable regional lymph nodes ≥ 1.5 cm at stations 2-10=N1 OR subdiaphragmatic
lymph nodes at stations 15-19 ≤ 1.5 cm by CT scan or MRI allowed

- Palpable supraclavicular lymph nodes must be free of metastatic esophageal
cancer by biopsy
