  • Durvalumab — DRUG
    Durvalumab will be supplied by AstraZeneca as a 500 mg vial concentrate for solution for infusion. The solution contains 50 mg/mL durvalumab, 26 mM histidine/histidine-hydrochloride, 275 mM trehalose dihydrate, and 0.02% weight/volume (w/v) polysorbate 80; it has a pH of 6.0 and density of 1.054 g/mL. The label-claim volume is 10 mL. Durvalumab is a sterile, clear to opalescent, colorless to slightly yellow solution, free from visible particles. Investigational product vials are stored at 2°C to 8°C and must not be frozen. Investigational product must be kept in original packaging until use to prevent prolonged light exposure.

Study Details

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of the addition of the stereotactic body radiotherapy and durvalumab to a well tolerated 2 week chemotherapy and radiation treatment regimen in people with esophageal cancer that is locally advanced or has spread to another area of the body (metastasized).

Arms

  • Experimental: Treatment
    Participants will receive 2 weeks of therapy with concurrent hypofractionated radiotherapy (30Gy/10#), weekly carboplatin (AUC2), weekly paclitaxel (50mg/m2) and durvalumab (1500mg) intravenously every 4 weeks, followed by durvalumab monotherapy continuing at 1500mg intravenously every 4 weeks until disease progression or 24 months of therapy. One to five metastases will be treated with stereotactic radiotherapy (24Gy/3#) 4 weeks after the completion of the chemoradiotherapy to the primary tumour. Monitoring of adherence to treatment will be done by attendance at booked appointments

Primary Outcome Measure

Progression free survival rate is the proportion of patients alive and progression free (the cancer has not worsened) assessed by CT scan and clinical review. [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
