Official title

A Phase II Study to Measure Response Rate and Toxicity of Neo-adjuvant Chemoradiotherapy With Oxaliplatin (OX) and Infusional 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) Plus Cetuximab Followed by Post-Operative Docetaxel and Cetuximab in Patients With Operable Adenocarcinoma of the Esophagus

Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as oxaliplatin, fluorouracil, and docetaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Monoclonal antibodies, such as cetuximab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Giving these treatments before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. Giving docetaxel and cetuximab after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving chemotherapy and radiation therapy together with cetuximab followed by surgery, docetaxel and cetuximab works in treating patients with esophageal cancer or gastroesophageal junction cancer.
