Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To assess the efficacy of durvalumab (MEDI4736), initially in combination with radiochemotherapy (FOLFOX and IMRT) and then as maintenance therapy for treating patients with localised unresectable oesophageal cancer, in terms of PFS (centrally reviewed; cPFS).;Secondary Objective: To assess the efficacy in terms of local PFS. To assess the efficacy in terms of overall survival. To evaluate the safety and tolerance of the study treatments. To evaluate the quality of life. ;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint is defined by a blinded independent centralized revue of progression free survival. cPFS is defined as the time from randomization until progression or death; patients alive and without documented progression at last follow-up news have PFS censored at this date or at initiation of new anticancer treatment (if applicable). Progression will be defined with central external reviewing of TDM per RECIST criteria 1.1, (see appendix 2).;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Progression or death

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): PFS is defined at the time from randomization until disease progression or death; patients alive without progression at last follow up will be censored at this date. Overall survival (OS): OS is defined as the time between randomization and death due to any cause. Patients still alive at the time of analysis (including those lost to follow up) will be censored at the last date that they were known to be alive. Safety will be evaluated using NCI CTCAE v5.0 (see Appendix 3). Quality of life: EORTC QLQ C30 and Oes18. Ancillary studies: - To determine whether the expression level of cytoplasmic peri-tumoral and tumoral PD-L1, macrophages and TILs predicts response to treatment (central reviewing CHU Toulouse). - Study of gut microbiota to determine if baseline intestinal bacteria correlates with tumor response - Blood for proteomic analysis comparing long term responder after radiochemotherapy with anti-PD-L1 (durvalumab) to non-responder to identify biomarkers.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Progression or death
