About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of Docetaxel and Epirubicin Combination in Patients With Advanced Gastric Cancer.

1.Study rationale:There is no standard regimen for the advanced and/or metastatic gastric cancer patients who relapsed after adjuvant chemotherapy or failed to first systemic chemotherapy. 2.Primary Objectives:To evaluate overall response rate according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors criteria and To investigate time to response 3.Design:single-center, Open label, Phase II study. docetaxel 75mg/m2 administered on day 1 as intravenously combined with intravenous Epirubicin 60mg/m2 given day 2 every 3 weeks. 4.Primary endpoints:

  1. Efficacy:overall response rate according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors criteria, time to response, duration of response, and time to treatment failure.
  2. Safety-Adverse events and laboratory tests, graded according to the NCI Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Effects (version 3.0).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Docetaxel and epirubicin in people with Stomach Neoplasms, run by Yonsei University at 1 site in South Korea.

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 5 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 3 Mar 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 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 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 3 Mar 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?

Overall Survival (time frame: One year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00375999, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 3 Mar 2014.
