Propranolol With Standard Chemoradiation for Esophageal Adenocarcinoma

NCT04682158

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.

NameTypeDescriptionInterventions
Chemoradiation Therapy - Group IActive ComparatorPatients 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.
  • Carboplatin
  • Paclitaxel
Chemoradiation Therapy - Group IIActive ComparatorPatients undergo CRT as in Group I in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
    Chemoradiation Therapy plus PropanololExperimentalPatients 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.
    • Propranolol

    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
