Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to provide access to paclitaxel therapy to subjects with advanced or recurrent esophageal cancer who have completed the previous Phase 2 study (CA139-540) and who should continue on therapy with paclitaxel as assessed by the treating investigator(s). To evaluate the severity of observed adverse reactions in treated subjects for assessment of long-term safety.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of Adverse Events (AEs) Per ParticipantWeekly Day 1 to 4 yearsAE=any new unfavorable symptom, sign, or disease or worsening of a preexisting condition that may not have a causal relationship with treatment. Severity of the adverse event was judged and graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria (NCI-CTC) version 2.0.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of Participants With Complete Response to TumorEvery 7 weeks Day 1 to 4 yearsTumor measured/evaluated via imaging and assessed according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumor (RECIST) version 1.0 wherein complete response is disappearance of all target lesions; partial response is 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; progressive disease is 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, and stable disease is small changes that do not meet above criteria. The baseline assessment was done prior to the first administration of drug in the original Study CA139-540 (NCT 00344552).

Participant flow

Recruitment details

Original Study CA139-540 (NCT 00344552) at Dr. K. Kato National Cancer Center Hospital in Tokyo, Japan, closed in 2008 and one participant rolled over into Study CA139-557.

Pre-assignment details

To be enrolled in Study CA139-557, participants with advanced or recurrent esophageal cancer must have completed original Study CA139-540 (NCT 00344552) and investigator(s) deemed that continuing treatment with paclitaxel would benefit the participant.

Outcome results

Primary

Number of Adverse Events (AEs) Per Participant

AE=any new unfavorable symptom, sign, or disease or worsening of a preexisting condition that may not have a causal relationship with treatment. Severity of the adverse event was judged and graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria (NCI-CTC) version 2.0.

Time frame: Weekly Day 1 to 4 years

Population: Only one participant enrolled in the study so all results represent one participant.
