What the film says

Read the transcript

This trial is for adults with esophageal adenocarcinoma receiving chemotherapy, chemotherapy plus immunotherapy, or chemoradiation before surgery or as definitive treatment. Patients must be suitable for beta-blocker use.

The idea: test adding propranolol, which blocks beta-adrenergic receptors, to standard treatment. The study includes treatment with and without propranolol and a group already taking beta-blockers. Propranolol is taken twice daily; feeding-tube delivery can be allowed.

This phase 2 study plans 106 patients. Anurag Singh leads at Roswell Park in Buffalo, the sole recruiting US site. Researchers assess safety, disease progression and surgical tumor response.
