Fluorouracil, Irinotecan, Leucovorin, and Cisplatin as First-Line Therapy in Treating Patients With Metastatic Esophageal Cancer Clinical Trials Facts presented on Clinical Trials Search is not designed to be a substitute for certified medical advice, travels to or professional assistance by using a genuine doctor. We aren't mDs. Always consult your physician about Fluorouracil, Irinotecan, Leucovorin, and Cisplatin as First-Line Therapy in Treating Patients With Metastatic Esophageal Cancer conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a website committed to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Fluorouracil, Irinotecan, Leucovorin, and Cisplatin as First-Line Therapy in Treating Patients With Metastatic Esophageal Cancer Clinical research trials and Fluorouracil, Irinotecan, Leucovorin, and Cisplatin as First-Line Therapy in Treating Patients With Metastatic Esophageal Cancer health trials occur in a lot of of cities throughout the US. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials generally evaluate the potency of new does drugs. The role of the studies / undertakings is to figure out specific human healthcare questions. Clinical trials are a popular manner for mDs, government agencies, and private sector companies to locate treatments for all sorts of conditions, including Fluorouracil, Irinotecan, Leucovorin, and Cisplatin as First-Line Therapy in Treating Patients With Metastatic Esophageal Cancer. Fluorouracil, Irinotecan, Leucovorin, and Cisplatin as First-Line Therapy in Treating Patients With Metastatic Esophageal Cancer Clinical Trials and other clinical trials permit volunteers to get medical treatment choices before they are available to the general public. Many times the test subjects get professional assistance for free of charge, and occasionally they are compensated for their time. Sometimes there is a cost for a Fluorouracil, Irinotecan, Leucovorin, and Cisplatin as First-Line Therapy in Treating Patients With Metastatic Esophageal Cancer clinical trial. Human subjects often get the best healthcare possible for their Fluorouracil, Irinotecan, Leucovorin, and Cisplatin as First-Line Therapy in Treating Patients With Metastatic Esophageal Cancer condition. Risks are a reality, nevertheless, and could include additional or frequent dr. calls, medical hazards (perhaps life-threatening), and/or the treatment being ineffectual. Trials are federally governed with exacting guidelines to protect clinical trials patients.

Fluorouracil, Irinotecan, Leucovorin, and Cisplatin as First-Line Therapy in Treating Patients With Metastatic Esophageal Cancer



Fluorouracil, Irinotecan, Leucovorin, and Cisplatin as First-Line Therapy in Treating Patients With Metastatic Esophageal Cancer

For Condition: recurrent esophageal cancer,stage 4 esophageal cancer
Status: Recruiting
Sponsor(s): GERCOR ,
Synopsis: RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as fluorouracil, irinotecan, leucovorin, and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one chemotherapy drug may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy as first-line therapy in treating patients who have metastaticesophageal cancer.
Details: OBJECTIVES: Primary - Determine the objective response rate in patients with metastatic esophageal cancer treated with fluorouracil, irinotecan, leucovorin calcium, and cisplatin as first-line therapy. Secondary - Determine the clinical benefit in patients treated with this regimen. - Determine the tolerability of this regimen in these patients. - Determine local relapse-free survival of patients treated with this regimen. - Determine the overall survival of patients treated with this regimen. OUTLINE: This is an open-label, multicenter study. Patients receive irinotecan IV over 90 minutes and leucovorin calcium IV over 2 hours on day 1. Patients also receive fluorouracil IV continuously over 46 hours and cisplatin IV over 30 minutes on days 1 and 2. Treatment repeats every 15 days for up to 12 courses in the absence of unacceptable toxicity or disease progression. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 39 patients will be accrued for this study within 1 year.
