Description:
This phase II trial studies the side effects and best dose of propranolol when administered
concurrently with SOC neoadjuvant CRT in patients with esophageal carcinoma, with a safety
lead-in and dose expansion cohort. Patients who are already on β-blockers will receive
standard of care CRT and will be considered separately as a single arm prospective cohort

Purpose
This phase II trial studies the side effects and best dose of propranolol when administered
concurrently with SOC neoadjuvant CRT in patients with esophageal carcinoma, with a safety
lead-in and dose expansion cohort. Patients who are already on β-blockers will receive
standard of care CRT and will be considered separately as a single arm prospective cohort
Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To determine the safety and efficacy of propranolol hydrochloride (propranolol) in
combination with standard neoadjuvant/definitive chemoradiation therapy (CRT) for esophageal
cancer.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To estimate overall survival (OS) and pathologic response rate in patients that undergo
surgery.
Trial Arms
Name | Type | Description | Interventions |
---|
Chemoradiation Therapy - Group I | Active Comparator | Patients receiving beta-blockers undergo radiation therapy in the form of IMRT or 3D CRT over 23-28 fractions for 5 days per week (Monday-Friday) for 5 weeks, and receive paclitaxel IV QW and carboplatin IV QW for 5 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. | |
Chemoradiation Therapy - Group II | Active Comparator | Patients undergo CRT as in Group I in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. | |
Chemoradiation Therapy plus Propanolol | Experimental | Patients undergo radiation therapy as in Group I. Patients receive propranolol PO BID for 4-6 weeks while receiving CRT in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. | |
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Undergoing definitive or neoadjuvant CRT for histologically confirmed esophageal
adenocarcinoma
- Have an ECOG performance status of 0-1
- Have the ability to swallow and retain oral medication (Note: Placement of an enteric
feeding tube after the patient has signed informed consent will not make them
ineligible to participate in the study - liquid formula propranolol will be made
available).
- Participants of child-bearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test at study
entry And then agree to use adequate contraceptive methods (e.g., hormonal or barrier
method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry. - Should a woman become
pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she or her partner is participating in this
study, she should inform her treating physician immediately.
- Participant must understand the investigational nature of this study and sign an
Independent Ethics Committee/Institutional Review Board approved written informed
consent form prior to receiving any study related procedure.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Contraindications to the use of beta-blockers, e.g.; uncontrolled depression, unstable
angina pectoris, uncontrolled heart failure (New York Heart Association (NYHA) Grade
III or IV), hypotension ( systolic blood pressure <100 mmHg), severe asthma or COPD,
uncontrolled type I or type II diabetes mellitus (HbA1C >8.5 or fasting plasma glucose
> 160 mg/dL at screening), symptomatic peripheral arterial disease or Raynaud's
syndrome, untreated pheochromocytoma, current calcium channel blocker use
(Non-dihydropyridines such as verapamil) or rhythm control agents such as digoxin and
amiodarone. Patients with pacemakers will be excluded
- Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active
infection,symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, psychiatric
illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements, cardiac
arrhythmia (atrial fibrillation/flutter), severe bradycardia (heart rate of <50 beats
per minute or 1st/ 2nd /3rd degree heart block)
- Pregnant or nursing female participants,
- Unwilling or unable to follow protocol requirements
- Any condition which in the Investigator's opinion deems the participant an unsuitable
candidate to receive study drug
