Brief Summary: RATIONALE Monoclonal antibodies such as cetuximab can block tumor growth in different ways Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them Drugs used in chemotherapy such as docetaxel and cisplatin work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells Giving cetuximab docetaxel and cisplatin together with radiation therapy before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed

PURPOSE This phase III trial is studying the side effects of cetuximab docetaxel cisplatin and radiation therapy and to see how well they work in treating patients with locally advanced esophageal cancer that can be removed by surgery
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Primary

Determine the safety of neoadjuvant radiotherapy in combination with cetuximab docetaxel and cisplatin in patients with resectable locally advanced esophageal cancer

Secondary

Determine the feasibility and efficacy of this regimen in these patients
Determine the duration of response and patterns of failure in patients treated with this regimen

OUTLINE This is a multicenter study

Chemoimmunotherapy Patients receive cetuximab IV over 1-2 hours once weekly in weeks 1-3 and docetaxel IV over 1 hour and cisplatin IV over 1 hour once in week 1 Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for 2 courses
Chemoimmunotherapy and radiotherapy Patients are sequentially assigned to 1 of 2 treatment levels

Treatment level 1 Patients receive cetuximab IV over 1 hour once weekly cisplatin IV over 1 hour once weekly and undergo radiotherapy once daily 5 days a week in weeks 7-11
Treatment level 2 Patients receive cetuximab cisplatin and radiotherapy as in treatment level 1 Patients also receive docetaxel IV over 1-2 hours once weekly in weeks 7-11

Cohorts of 7-20 patients are treated at treatment level 1 or 2 sequentially as long as no more than 2 of 7 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity DLT until the safe treatment level for future study is determined The safe treatment level is defined as the level at which no more than 2 of 7 and no more than 6 of 20 patients experience DLT At least 20 patients are treated at the safe treatment level

Surgery Between 4-8 weeks after completion of neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy and radiotherapy patients undergo surgery

After completion of study treatment patients are followed every 3 months for 1 year every 6 months for 3 years and then annually thereafter

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 27 patients will be accrued for this study
