Abstract
Purpose: To determine the maximal tolerated dose of capecitabine with oxaliplatin + radiotherapy in a phase I study of localized esophageal cancer. Patients and Methods: Oxaliplatin (85 mg/m2) administered on days 1, 15, and 29. Capecitabine administered twice daily 5 days weekly; dose levels (DL) were 1, 1000; 2, 1250; and 3, 1500 mg/m2 with 50.4 Gy radiation. Results: Dose-limiting toxicity was reached at DL 3. Carboxylesterase expression in day 2 tumor specimens and induction correlated with response (p ≤ 0.05). Conclusion: The maximal tolerated dose was 85 mg/m2 of oxaliplatin, 1,250 mg/m2/day of capecitabine, and 50.4 Gy of radiation.
