Trial summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as capecitabine and oxaliplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of XELOX in Locally Advanced or Metastatic Gastric Cancer

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as capecitabine and oxaliplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving capecitabine together with oxaliplatin works in treating patients with locally advanced, unresectable, or metastatic stomach cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Determine the response proportion in patients with locally advanced, unresectable, or metastatic gastric cancer treated with capecitabine and oxaliplatin.

Secondary

  • Determine the tolerability and toxicity of this regimen in these patients.
  • Determine the median and progression-free survival of patients treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE: This is an open-label study.

Patients receive oxaliplatin IV over 2 hours on day 1 and oral capecitabine twice daily on days 1-7. Treatment repeats every 14 days in the absence of unacceptable toxicity or disease progression.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 3 months for 1 year, every 6 months for 2 years, and then annually thereafter.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 46 patients will be accrued for this study.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Study groups in NCT00354224
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Oxaliplatin + CapecitabineExperimentalPatients will receive Oxaliplatin 85 mg/m2/d on day 1, given as a 2-hour infusion in 250 mL of dextrose 5% repeated every 2 weeks. Capecitabine will be administered orally at a dose of 850 mg/m2 twice a day.
Receives: Drug: capecitabine; Drug: oxaliplatin

What is being measured

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

  1. Response Rate as Determined by RECIST.

    Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR.

    Measured: Every 6 weeks through study completion for up to about 18 weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Number of Adverse Events

    Measured: From the start of study treatment through study completion for up to about 18 weeks

  2. Progression-free Survival

    Measured: Every 6 weeks through study completion for up to about 18 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing capecitabine and oxaliplatin in people with Gastric Cancer, run by Medical University of South Carolina 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?

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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Jul 2018. 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 16 Jul 2018). 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?

Response Rate as Determined by RECIST. (time frame: Every 6 weeks through study completion for up to about 18 weeks). 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 16 Jul 2018.
