Trial Outcomes & Findings for Radiation Dose Escalation in Esophageal Cancer (NCT NCT03082586)

NCT ID: NCT03082586

Last Updated: 2020-12-22

Results Overview

The DLTs were defined as grade \>/=4 esophatitis, any other grade \>/=3 nonhematological toxicity (except nausea and vomiting), or grade \>/=4 hematological toxicity lasting more than 7 days, which are possibly, probably, or definitely associated with protocol treatment occurring during and after completion of the HFRT boost treatment.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 15 months

Population: the patients who completed the protocol treatment

Local failure will be assessed radiographically using endoscopy with biopsy, CT scan, and a positron emission computed tomography-CT scan. which was defined as persistence /recurrence of the tumor in the radiation therapy field.
