Registered outcomes3

Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.

ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryPathologic Complete Response Rateapproximately 1 month after completing all treatments, then every 3 months up to 2 years, every 6 months from 2-5 years of study entry and annually 6-10 years from study entryA patient would have achieved a pathologic complete response if no histopathological evidence of residual tumor is found in the resected esophageal specimen and nodal tissue.
SecondaryOverall Survival TimeApproximately 1 month after completing all treatments, then every 3 months up to 2 years, every 6 months from 2-5 years of study entry and annually 6-10 years from study entry
Survival was measured from the date of randomization onto study to death from any cause.Patients who were still alive at the end of the study were censored at the last date of known alive. Median survival time was calculated in the 81 eligible and treated patients.
SecondaryRecurrence-free Survival TimeApproximately 1 month after completing all treatments, then every 3 months up to 2 years, every 6 months from 2-5 years of study entry and annually 6-10 years from study entry
Recurrence-free survival is measured from the date of complete response to recurrence of the cancer. Patients without recurrence were censored at the last date of known recurrence-free. Median recurrence-free survival time was calculated in the eligible and treated patients.
