Liquid Nitrogen Spray Cryotherapy Prior to Neoadjuvant Systemic Therapy in Esophageal Adenocarcinoma

Conditions: Esophageal Adenocarcinoma, Esophageal Cancer

Sex: All
Ages: 18 Years – N/A
Healthy volunteers: No
Phase: PHASE2
Enrollment: 40
Sponsor: Case Comprehensive Cancer Center

Location: Cleveland Clinic Florida Weston Florida

Summary

This research study is for people who have locally advanced esophageal adenocarcinoma and are expected to receive chemotherapy. The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of Liquid Nitrogen Spray Cryotherapy (LNSC) in addition to chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone in the treatment of esophageal adenocarcinoma. LNSC is an FDA approved device that works by using liquid nitrogen to rapidly cool cancerous tissue causing cell damage. Participants in this study will be randomly assigned to either the "LNSC group" or the "No-LNSC group." Participants in the "LNSC group" will undergo 2 sessions of LNSC through an upper endoscopy. Participants in the "No-LNSC group," may undergo an endoscopy if needed for symptoms such as difficulty swallowing. Participation in the research will last about 4 months.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * Adults with locally advanced EAC who are expected to receive FLOT +/-Durvalumab will be eligible to participate. * Locally advanced esophageal cancer is defined as TNM stages T1N+M0 or T2-T4aNanyM0, as defined by endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and PET-CT. Exclusion Criteria: * Inability to pass the orogastric decompression tube into the stomach * Coagulopathy (INR \> 2 or platelet count \< 50,000 per cubic millimeter) * Inability to provide informed consent * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status \> 2 * Risk of thrombosis is determined to be too high to hold anti-platelets (other than aspirin) or anticoagulants prior to the procedure.
