Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The primary objective is to evaluate the safety of CaEP for esophageal cancer. Adverse Events (AE) and Serious Adverse Events (SAE) will be evaluated.;Secondary Objective: Evaluate treatment response. ;Primary end point(s): Safety of CaEP for esophageal cancer, measured by registering Adverse Events (AE) and Serious Adverse Events (SAE). ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: At follow up visits within 14 days after the given treatment.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: At follow up visits within 2 months after the given treatment. ;Secondary end point(s): Secondary outcomes include: - dysphagia (Mellow Pinkas dysphagia score) - pain (Numeric Rating Scale, NRS) - quality of life (QoL) (EORTC QLQ-C30) - tumor response evaluated from computed tomography (CT) and upper endoscopy - immunologic response
