About this study

Official title: Phase 1/2 Study of Pemetrexed Plus Cisplatin in Unresectable, Advanced Gastric Carcinoma.

This is a multicenter, single arm, open-label Phase 1/2 study of pemetrexed plus cisplatin for patients with unresectable, advanced gastric cancer who had no prior palliative chemotherapy. Phase 1 was designed to determine the optimal dose of pemetrexed for its phase 2, which has been completed and now a total of 60 qualified patients will be enrolled in the phase 2 of this study. The treating physician will determined the maximum number of cycles of pemetrexed plus cisplatin that a patient may receive in this study.

Being tested
pemetrexed, cisplatin
Medical subject headings

What is being measured

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

  1. Objective Best Tumor Response

    Response using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria. Complete Response=disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response=30% decrease in sum of longest diameter of target lesions; Progressive Disease=20% increase in sum of longest diameter of target lesions; Stable Disease=small changes that do not meet above criteria.

    Measured: baseline to measured progressive disease (Tumor assessments were performed every 2 cycles during therapy and 6-8 weeks during post-therapy until disease progression, or up to 12 months after enrollment)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Duration of Response

    The duration of a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) was defined as the time from first objective status assessment of CR or PR to the first time of progression or death as a result of any cause.

    Measured: time of response to progressive disease or death (Tumor assessments were performed every 2 cycles during therapy and 6-8 weeks during post-therapy until disease progression, or up to 12 months after enrollment)

  2. Progression Free Survival

    The period from study entry until disease progression or death on study, whichever occurred first.

    Measured: baseline to measured progressive disease or death (Tumor assessments were performed every 2 cycles during therapy and 6-8 weeks during post-therapy until disease progression, or up to 12 months after enrollment)

  3. Overall Survival

    Overall survival is the duration from enrollment to death. For patients who are alive, overall survival is censored at the last contact.

    Measured: baseline to date of death from any cause (Survival follow-up were performed every 2 cycles during therapy and approximately every 3 months during post-therapy until death or up to 12 months after enrollment)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing pemetrexed and cisplatin in people with Neoplasm, Gastric, run by Eli Lilly and Company at 8 sites in 4 countries.

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 5 inclusion and 6 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 28 Sep 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in Taiwan, Argentina, Mexico, South Korea. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 28 Sep 2009). 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?

Objective Best Tumor Response (time frame: baseline to measured progressive disease (Tumor assessments were performed every 2 cycles during therapy and 6-8 weeks during post-therapy until disease progression, or up to 12 months after enrollment)). 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 28 Sep 2009.
