Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This Phase II randomized study is to determine the efficacy of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy before definitive concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) in Patients with Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma(ESCC) by assessing their weight, nutritional status, performance status and treatment response.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This Phase II randomized study is to determine the efficacy of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy before definitive concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) in Patients with Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma(ESCC) by assessing their weight, nutritional status, performance status and treatment response.

All patients will receive definitive radiotherapy combined with three cycles of S-1 (40mg/2, BID, po) on D1-14, D22-35, D43-56. The primary endpoint is percentage of recent weight loss at the end of CCRT. The secondary endpoints are nutrition status, objective response rate, overall survival, toxicity and intestinal flora changes in blood, urine and stool specimens.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Experiment

One or two weeks before CCRT, all patients will undergo a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) to be administered enteral nutrition support(30-35 kcal/kg of energy, 1.2-1.5g/kg of protein and electrolyte supplementation each day). Nutritional supplements will be administered till 1 month after CCRT.

All patients will receive definitive radiotherapy combined with three cycles of S-1 (40mg/2, BID, po) on D1-14, D22-35, D43-56.
