Study Summary

This phase I trial studies the side effects of OBP-301 when given together with carboplatin, paclitaxel, and radiation therapy in treating patients with esophageal or gastroesophageal cancer that invades local or regional structures. OBP-301 is a virus that has been designed to infect and destroy tumor cells (although there is a small risk that it can also infect normal cells). Chemotherapy drugs, such as carboplatin and paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving OBP-301 with chemotherapy and radiation therapy may work better than standard chemotherapy and radiation therapy in treating patients with esophageal or gastroesophageal cancer.

Primary Outcome

Adverse events are graded according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0, which grades adverse event severity as follows: 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, 3 = severe, 4 = life-threatening, 5 = death related to adverse event. A DLT is defined as the following that are definitely or probably attributed to OBP-301: * Any grade ≥3 adverse event EXCEPT for the following: * Grade 3 nausea/vomiting * Grade 3 esophagitis or dehydration * The first occurrence of grade 3/4
