Official title
Phase II Trial of Sorafenib for Patients With Metastatic or Recurrent Esophageal and Gastroesophageal Junction Cancer
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Sorafenib is a drug being studied for the treatment of cancer. Sorafenib has been shown to block certain proteins on the surface of some cancer cells called "growth factor receptors." Blocking these growth factor receptors can slow or stop cancer cell growth. Sorafenib is also known as Nexavar®. It has been studied in other types of cancers, including kidney cancer, and has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treating advanced kidney cancer. Because it is not approved by the FDA for treating esophageal cancer, it is considered an experimental treatment. The purpose of this study is to determine what effects sorafenib has on advanced esophageal cancer. These effects include whether sorafenib can shrink the tumor or slow down its growth and what side effects sorafenib will have on the tumor.
