Study Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as capecitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Sunitinib malate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. It is not yet known whether capecitabine is more effective when given alone or together with sunitinib malate in treating patients with metastatic esophageal cancer or gastroesophageal junction cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying how well capecitabine works compared with capecitabine given together with sunitinib malate as first-line therapy in treating patients with metastatic cancer of the esophagus or gastroesophageal junction.
Primary Outcome
The primary analysis will be a comparison of Arm A to Arm B using a one-sided log-rank test between the 2 Kaplan-Meier curves. All patients meeting the eligibility criteria, who started treatment will be considered evaluable for the primary endpoint. If a patient is still alive 3 years after registration, no further follow-up is required. Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of targe
Interventions
- DRUG capecitabine
- DRUG sunitinib malate
