Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Arm Type
Experimental
Arm Label
IMRT concurrent with chemotherapy
Arm Description
6 fractions of esophageal sparing IMRT weekly for 5-6 weeks (dependent on dose cohort) concurrent with standard chemotherapy: Cisplatin 50 mg/m2 /d intravenously (IV) on days 1, 8, 29, and 36. Etoposide 50 mg/m2 /d IV on days 1 through 5 and 29 through 33.
Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of IMRT
Secondary Outcome Measures
The occurrence of RT-induced acute esophagitis
To determine if biological predictors of esophagitis can identify patients who develop severe esophageal toxicity during radiation therapy
Blood will be drawn at specific time intervals, plasma will be analysed for Glutathione Oxidation, Citrulline, Lipid peroxidation, DNA oxidation, and Tetrahydrobiopterin.

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
Hypothesis 1- Using IMRT, the radiation therapy (RT) dose can be safely escalated from 58 Gy to 74 Gy given as 6 fractions/week with concurrent chemotherapy.
Hypothesis 2- Esophageal motion can be used to customize planning organ at risk volumes.
Hypothesis 3- Biological predictors of acute esophagitis can be used to identify patients at high risk of developing esophageal toxicity from radiation therapy and chemotherapy.
Detailed Description
Prospective phase I study designed to determine the maximum tolerated dose of radiation therapy given in an accelerated fashion (2 Gy/fraction, 6 fractions/week) with concurrent chemotherapy. Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) will be utilized to spare the esophagus. All patients on the dose escalation study will participate in additional assessments evaluating esophageal motion and esophageal toxicity from radiation therapy.
