Recruiting PHASE3 Esophageal Cancer

New treatment option for Esophageal Cancer

Official title Study of Larotinib in Unresectable Advanced or Recurrent Esophageal Cancer

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT04415853

What this study is testing

What is Lerotinib?

Lerotinib is an investigational medicine, given as a pill taken by mouth, being studied as a potential treatment for esophageal cancer.

Also referred to as Z650.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
This is a randomized, controlled, multi-center, open trial, unresectable locally advanced or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients that failed at least second-line treatment and overexpressed EGFR were enrolled and randomly assigned to the experimental group and control group at a 1: 1 ratio.,who received Larotinib and the chemotherapy regimen chosen by the investigator (Irinotecan Hydrochloride Injection or Tegafur Gimeracil Oteracil Potassium Capsule),respecitively. Subjects are administered until disease progression assessed by the RECIST V1.1 standard (unless the investigator evaluates that the subject continues to have clinical benefit from continuing treatment, the subject may be allowed to continue treatment), and begins to receive new anti-tumor treatment, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of informed consent, or other conditions that meet the criteria for terminating trial treatment / withdrawal from the trial.
  • Phase 3: a large, late-stage study
  • Which group you join is decided by chance.
