E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary objectives of this phase I trial are to investigate the safety and side effects of treating patients with inoperable GEJ cancer with electroporation delivered through an endoscopic system. |
Formålet med dette projekt er, at undersøge de sikkerhedsmæssige aspekter samt eventelle bivirkninger når man behandler inoperable GEJ-cancer-patienter med endoskopisk elektrokemoterapi.
|
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
The secondary outcome is an evaluation of the response measured by: • Positron emission tomography–magnetic resonance imaging (PET-MRI) • Dysphagia by Mellow and Pinka’s dysphagia score • Patient experience of treatment by Quality of life questionnaires, EORTC QLQ-C30.
|
Det sekundære formål med studiet er en evaluering af respons, målet med hjælp af: • PET-MR • Dysfagi (Mellow and Pinka’s dysphagia score) • Livskvalitet spørgeskema, EORTC QLQ-C30 |

E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Male or female ≥18 years old. 2. Histological verified adenocarcinoma in the gastro-oesophageal junction. 3. Expected survival > 3 months. 4. Performance status ECOG/WHO < 2. 5. Sexually active women who can become pregnant should use adequate contraception during the trial (pill, spiral, injection of prolonged progestin, sub dermal implantation, hormone-containing vaginal devices, transdermal patches). 6. Platelets ≥ 50 billion/L, International Normalized Ratio (INR) < 1.5. Medical correction is allowed, e.g. correction of a high INR using vitamin K. 7. Se-creatinine < 150 mole/L, (Cr-51-EDTA-clearance > 40 ml/min) are excluded. (Se-creatinine > 150 mole/L triggers a Cr-51-EDTA-clearence test). 8. Subjects must be willing and able to comply with the procedure such as agreed follow-up visits. 9. Subjects must give written informed consent. 10. The patient has a progressing disease, despite previously treatment with palliative chemo/radio therapy OR 11. The patient has a progressing disease, despite previously treatment with palliative radio therapy and he/she can not tolerate palliative systemic chemotherapy treatment.

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Coagulation disorder that cannot be corrected. 2. Subjects with renal dysfunction (Cr-51-EDTA-clearance < 40 ml/min are excluded. If p-creatinine > 150 micromole/L triggers a Cr-51-EDTA-clearence test). 3. Subjects with a clinically significant cardiac arrhythmia. 4. Diabetes. 5. Pregnancy or lactation/breastfeeding. 6. Concurrent treatment with an investigational medicinal product. 7. Contraindications for use of bleomycin, including acute pulmonary infection, severe pulmonary disease and allergic reactions to bleomycin observed in previous treatment. 8. Subjects who have previously undergone a regime of bleomycin with a cumulative dose of > 240.000 units/m2. 9. Patients with any other clinical condition or prior therapy that, in the opinion of the investigator, would make the patient unsuitable for the study or unable to comply with the study requirements. This includes stenosis that prevents passage of the endoscope.
