About this study

Official title: A Phase II Combination Trial of Bryostatin-1 and Cisplatin in the Treatment of Metastatic Gastric Cancer

Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of bryostatin 1 and cisplatin in treating patients who have metastatic or unresectable stomach cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Bryostatin 1 may increase the effectiveness of cisplatin by making tumor cells more sensitive to the drug. Combining cisplatin with bryostatin 1 may kill more tumor cells.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine the response rate and survival in patients with metastatic or unresectable carcinoma of the stomach treated with bryostatin 1 and cisplatin.

II. Determine the toxic effects of this regimen in these patients. III. Determine the molecular determinants of response to this regimen in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive bryostatin 1 IV over 72 hours on days 1-3 followed by cisplatin IV over 1 hour on day 4. Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for a minimum of 2 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Being tested
bryostatin 1, cisplatin, laboratory biomarker analysis

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Observed Response Rate.

    All patients had measurable disease and were assessed after 2 cycles of chemotherapy by medical photograph, plain x-ray, CT, MRI or other imaging scans of at least 2.0 cm or greater with conventional techniques or 1.0 cm or greater with spiral CT. Patients were evaluated by RECIST criteria. All measurable lesions, up to 10 "target lesions" were recorded and measured at baseline across the longest diameter (LD). All other non-target lesions were documented as present or absent. Complete Response (CR) was defined as complete disappearance of the tumor, partial response (PR) was defined as at least a 30% decrease of the sum of the LD of the target lesions, using the baseline sum LD as the reference

    The observed response rate was defined as the percentage of evaluable patients whose best response is a CR or PR with associated 95% confidence interval.

    Measured: Best response recorded from the start of treatment until disease progression/recurrence. Assessed every 2 cycles.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Overall Survival

    Overall survival was estimated according to the Kaplan-Meier product-limit method.

    Measured: 18 months

  2. Progression-free Survival

    Progression-free survival was estimated according to the Kaplan-Meier product-limit method

    Measured: 18 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing bryostatin 1, cisplatin and laboratory biomarker analysis in people with Stage III Gastric Cancer and Stage IV Gastric Cancer, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 27 inclusion and 0 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Oct 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 1 Oct 2014). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Observed Response Rate. (time frame: Best response recorded from the start of treatment until disease progression/recurrence. Assessed every 2 cycles.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Oct 2014.
