Chemoimmunotherapy Followed by Surgery for Oligometastatic Esophagogastric Cancer: (TORO Protocol)

Chemoimmunotherapy Followed by Surgery for Oligometastatic Esophageal and Gastric Cancer: A Phase II Clinical Trial (TORO Protocol)


Sponsor

University Health Network, Toronto

Enrollment

72 participants

Start Date

May 9, 2025

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

Esophageal cancer and cancers of the gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) are among the most common malignancies worldwide. The outcome for these patients remains very poor. Patients with limited spread of their cancer (oligometastatic disease) have a better prognosis than those with widespread disease. Recent advances in treatment therapies, including use of pre-operative immunotherapy, surgery and/or targeted radiation (SBRT) may help to prolong lifespan in patients with oligometastatic disease. Patients will undergo treatment for their oligometastatic esophageal or gastric cancer with pre-operative chemoimmunotherapy followed by surgery and possibly SBRT to evaluate the value of adding surgery and possibly SBRT to their treatment.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study (TORO Protocol) tests whether chemotherapy plus immunotherapy, followed by surgery, can be an effective approach for people with esophageal or stomach-junction cancer that has spread to a limited number of sites (called oligometastatic disease — up to 5 lesions in up to 2 organs). **You may be eligible if...** - You have confirmed esophageal or stomach-junction cancer that has spread to no more than 5 sites in up to 2 organs - Those spread sites can potentially be removed by surgery or treated with radiation - You are between 18 and 80 years old - You are in good health (ECOG 0–1) with adequate heart, lung, kidney, and liver function **You may NOT be eligible if...** - Your cancer has spread widely across the abdomen or chest lining - You are pregnant - You have other conditions that make systemic therapy unsafe Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
