A Phase II Study of Sunitinib Malate (Sutent®) With Paclitaxel (Taxol®) in Patients With Advanced Esophageal Cancer
OUTLINE: This is a multi-center study.
Treatment will be administered on an outpatient basis. Chemotherapy will be administered in
a 28-day treatment cycle. The 28 days of treatment with paclitaxel and sunitinib malate
(plus the time required to recover if toxicity is encountered) is defined as a cycle.
- Paclitaxel 90 mg/m2 IV on days 1, 8 and 15.
- Sunitinib malate 37.5 mg orally, daily.
After 4 cycles, paclitaxel will be discontinued and patients will continue on sunitinib
malate until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or physician discretion.
Performance Status: ECOG performance status 0 to 2

Hematopoietic:
- INR < 1.2
- PTT < 1.5 x Upper Limit of Normal (ULN)
- Platelets > 100 K/mm3
- Hemoglobin > 8 g/dL
- Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) > 1.0 K/mm3
Hepatic:
