A Phase II Study of Sunitinib Malate (Sutent®) With Paclitaxel (Taxol®) in Patients With Advanced Esophageal Cancer
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Sunitinib malate and Paclitaxel for Esophageal Cancer. Completed, enrolled 28 participants across 15 sites.
Detailed Summary
Paclitaxel is known to be active as a single and combination agent in esophageal cancer, and has also been demonstrated to have anti-angiogenic properties in weekly dosing regimens. Sunitinib malate is an anti-angiogenic drug with the potential to improve responses when combined with chemotherapy, as demonstrated with other regimens in similar settings. We believe that the combination of paclitaxel and sunitinib malate offer great promise in the treatment of advanced esophageal cancer.
