Conditions

Adenocarcinoma of the Gastroesophageal Junction, Esophageal Carcinoma

Brief summary

This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of icotinib in treating advanced carcinoma of the gastroesophageal junction and esophagus with EGFR overexpression (IHC 3+) or positive FISH, the primary endpoint is objective response rates.

Detailed description

Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling is critical for cancer cell proliferation, invasion, metastasis, and resistance to apoptosis.EGFR is overexpressed in many epithelial malignancies and therefore makes an attractive therapeutic target.This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of icotinib in treating advanced carcinoma of the gastroesophageal junction and esophagus with EGFR overexpression (IHC 3+) or positive FISH, the primary endpoint is objective response rates. Secondary endpoints include progress-free survival, overall survival, safety and so on.

Interventions

DRUGIcotinib

Icotinib: 250 mg is administered orally three times per day, until disease progression or untolerable toxicity.

Inclusion criteria

* Patients with a histologic or cytologic diagnosis of carcinoma of the gastroesophageal junction or esophagus; * Measurable disease by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria; * Overexpression of EGFR defined by immunohistochemistry (3+) or gene amplification by fluorescence in-situ hybridisation; * Have progressed after one chemotherapy regimen; * Age 18-75 years old with performance status of 0 to 2

Exclusion criteria

* Prior targeted therapy with erlotinib, gefitinib, and so on * Evidence of clinically active Interstitial Lung Diseases (Patients with chronic, stable, radiographic changes who are asymptomatic need not be excluded). * Known severe hypersensitivity to icotinib or any of the excipients of this product. * Evidence of any other significant clinical disorder or laboratory finding that makes it undesirable for the subject to participate in the study.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Objective response rates2 monthsNumber of participants who achieve complete response or partial response. Either complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) will be evaluated by RECIST, confirmed at least 28 days following the date of the initial response.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Progression Free Survival5 monthsA duration from randomization date to disease progression(as defined by RECIST) or death. If a participant are known to have progressed, the time to progression is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of progression. Otherwise, a participant will be censored at the last date they are known not to be progressed.
Overall survival9 monthsOverall Survival is assessed via calculation of the time to death due to any cause. If a participant is known to have died, the time to death is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of death. Otherwise, a participant will be censored at the last date they are known to be alive.
