What this study is about

Researchers are testing a new way to treat esophageal cancer by using imaging to identify areas of low oxygen (hypoxia) in the tumor. The goal is to give higher doses of radiation only to those tumors that are hypoxic, while standard treatment is used for non-hypoxic tumors. The trial will evaluate the safety of this personalized approach.

Endpoints

Primary: frequency of adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) characterized by type, severity (as defined by the NIH CTCAE, version 5.0), seriousness, duration, and relationship to study treatment, rate of grade ≥ 4 esophageal adverse events attributed to radiation therapy that occur within 30 days of finishing radiation therapy, rate of grade ≥ 4 esophageal adverse events attributed to radiation therapy that occur within 84 days of finishing radiation therapy

Secondary: Progression-free survival (PFS)
