Key inclusion & exclusion criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Histologically or cytologically confirmed esophageal cancer with histology of
squamous carcinoma or adenocarcinoma

2. Clinically diagnosed metastatic or recurrent esophageal cancer according to Sixth
Edition of the AJCC Cancer Staging Manual (Appendix V)

3. At least 18 years old

4. Disease status must be that of measurable disease defined as RECIST:Lesions that can
be accurately measured in at least one dimension > 10 mm with chest x-ray, spiral CT
scan or physical examination

5. ECOG performance status 0-2

6. No prior radiotherapy to measurable lesion(s) but previous surgery and/or chest
radiotherapy for the primary lesion is allowed

7. Adequate major organ function including the following:Hematologic function: WBC =
3,500/mm3 or absolute neutrophil count (ANC) = 1,500/mm3, platelet count =

function: serum creatinine = 1.5mg/dL

8. Patients should sign an informed consent

9. If female: childbearing potential either terminated by surgery, radiation, or
menopause, or attenuated by use of an approved contraceptive method (intrauterine
device [IUD], birth control pills, or barrier device) during and for 3 months after
