This trial is for adults with resectable esophageal or gastroesophageal-junction cancer scheduled for chemoradiation or perioperative chemoimmunotherapy and surgery. Distant metastases exclude entry.
The idea: test itraconazole, an antifungal drug that inhibits growth and blood-vessel signaling pathways, around standard treatment. Patients take 300 milligrams orally twice daily for two weeks beforehand, then six to eight weeks after chemoradiation, or four to six after chemoimmunotherapy, before surgery. Surgical tissue shows whether cancer remains; researchers monitor drug levels and toxicity.
This phase 2 study plans 78 patients. David Wang leads seven recruiting US VA sites.
