Brief Summary

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

The investigators propose to compare recurrence-free survival in patients having potentially curative (Stages 1-3) surgery for esophageal cancer who will be randomly assigned to propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia or sevoflurane-based balanced general anesthesia.

Detailed Description

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

The investigators will test the primary hypothesis that recurrence-free survival after esophageal cancer surgery is longer in patients randomized to propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia than to volatile sevoflurane anesthesia.

The investigators will test the secondary hypotheses that propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia: 1) speeds discharge from the ICU; 2) speeds discharge from the hospital; and, 3) improves the quality of recovery, as assessed by QoR-15 on postoperative day 2.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

As usual with time-to-event outcomes, enrollment will be based on the number of outcome events, not the number of patients enrolled. We anticipate that about 1614 patients will be required to generate 579 recurrences and/or deaths, but this is only a rough estimate since follow-up duration is a function of when patients are enrolled, not just their number.

Study Groups

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

Propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia

Propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia. A target-controlled infusion will be set to 2-4 µg/ml plasma concentrations, and varied as clinical necessary.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia

Intervention Type DRUG

Propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia, titrated to clinical need.

Sevoflurane intravenous anesthesia

Anesthesia will be maintained with sevoflurane, typically at an end-tidal concentration of 0.6-1.0 MAC, but adjusted as clinically necessary

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Sevoflurane intravenous anesthesia

Intervention Type DRUG

Sevoflurane intravenous anesthesia, titrated to clinical need.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Primary esophageal cancer without known extension beyond the esophagus. (i.e. believed to be Tumor Stage 1-3).
* Scheduled for potentially curative esophageal cancer surgery.
* Written informed consent, including willingness to be randomized to intravenous versus volatile anesthesia.

Exclusion Criteria

* Previous surgery for esophageal cancer (except diagnostic biopsies) Age \<18 or \>85 years old.
* ASA Physical Status ≥4.
* Any contraindication to propofol or sevoflurane.
* Other cancer not believed by the attending surgeon to be in long-term remission.
* Systemic disease believed by the attending surgeon to present ≥25% two- year mortality.
