Regimen

Experimental
cisplatin/capecitabine + 50 Gy RT + cetuximab
Control
cisplatin/capecitabine + 50 Gy RT (definitive CRT)

Population

Esophageal cancer (~73% squamous) treated with definitive chemoradiotherapy

Key finding

Median OS 34.5 mo (dCRT) vs 24.7 mo (dCRT+cetuximab), HR 1.25 (NS); cetuximab arm worse. Importantly, dCRT-alone arm's mOS 34.5 mo is a UK-contemporary benchmark for the CapOx + 50Gy definitive CRT regimen.
