Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

SOX-based Chemoradiotherapy

Arm Description

IMRT is delivered with a daily fraction of 1.8 Gy to a total dose of 50.4 Gy over 5 weeks. Concurrent Oxaliplatin (3 levels for phase I: 110mg/m², 120 mg/m² and 130 mg/m², d1) and fixed dose of S-1 (80mg/ m², d1-14) are administered concurrently with IMRT, every 4 weeks. The recommended dose of Oxaliplatin are then further evaluated in the Phase II setting.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events
Phase I: toxicities will be assessed based on the common toxicity criteria for adverse events version 4.0 (CTCAE v4.0).
Response rate
Phase II: Response rate will be done after 4 weeks following the last radiotherapy session as evaluated by RECIST 1.1.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Recommended dose of Oxaliplatin for phase II trial.
To determine the recommended phase II dose (RD) of Oxaliplatin with fixed dose of S-1 in combination with IMRT for esophageal cancer (Phase I).
Number of Participants with Adverse Events (Phase II).
Both the number of subjects with adverse events and the degree of the adverse events of each participant according to NCI CTCAE version 4.0 will be recorded. And the outcome of each adverse event will be followed.
Overall survival time
Overall survival (OS) is determined as the time (in months) between the first day of therapy and the last follow-up or the date of death.
Progression-free survival time
Progression-free survival (PFS) is calculated from the date of CRT initiation to the date of documented failure (local recurrence or metastasis occurrence) or the date of the last follow-up for those remaining.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Patients with esophageal cancer that had locally advanced diseases or with unresectable diseases are being asked to participate in this phase I/II study. This phase I/II study is being conducted to determine the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD), dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), and efficacy of IMRT combined with S-1 and Oxaliplatin (SOX) based chemotherapy for unresectable locally advanced esophageal cancer.
Detailed Description
Esophageal carcinoma (EC) remains difficult to cure with overall 5-year survival rates for locally advanced stages being poor. Definitive concurrent chemoradiotherapy (dCRT) remains the mainstay of treatment for locally advanced and unresectable EC. Oxaliplatin is a new generation platinum with a more preferable toxicity profile compared to cisplatin. Furthermore, S-1 combines 5-Fu prodrug (tegafur) and two modulators of 5-Fu metabolism, gimeracil (CDHP) and oteracil. Basic studies showed that S-1 has superior anti-cancer effects than 5-Fu and enhances the sensitivity of cancer cells to the effects of radiotherapy. Herein, we designed a prospective phase I/II study, which is combined S-1 and oxaliplatin with IMRT for the patients with locally advanced and unresectable esophageal cancer, and evaluated the tolerability and efficacy of this combination. <Phase I> Primary Objective: To establish the safety of combination chemotherapy comprising oxaliplatin (escalating doses: 110, 120, 130 mg/m2, day 1 and day 29), fixed dose of S-1 (80 mg/m2, day1-14 and day 29-42) and IMRT (5040cGy/28fx/5W+) in unresectable locally advanced esophageal cancer. Secondary Objective: To observe the efficacy of this regimen in these patients. <Phase II> Primary Objective: To assess the response rate of combination chemotherapy comprising oxaliplatin (recommended dose determined in phase I study, day1 and day29), fixed dose of S-1 (80 mg/m2, day1-14 and day 29-42), and IMRT (5040cGy/28fx/5W+) in unresectable locally advanced esophageal cancer. Secondary Objectives: To determine the adverse reactions of this regimen in these patients. To determine PFS(Progression free survival) of patients treated with this regimen. To determine OS (overall survival) of patients treated with this regimen. To explore the Health-related Quality of life using EORTC QLQ-C30 and EORTC QLQ-OES18 in these patients.
