Who can join
18 and older, any sex, with Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma. Patients with the condition only — healthy volunteers not accepted.
What's being measured
Primary outcomes are the specific endpoints the trial is designed to prove or disprove.
-
Local control rate
Time frame: the date of randomization until progression inside the irradiation field, up to 3 years.
The outcome measure will be assessed by every 3-month follow-up examinations.
Sponsor's own description
This primary objective of the trial is to study whether the local control of Huachansu plus thoracic radiotherapy is better compared to thoracic radiotherapy alone for patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. It's a phase II study, 134 patients are expected to be recruited into the trial.
