Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patients must have histologically or cytologically confirmed metastatic or unresectable gastric or esophageal adenocarcinoma, including GEJ adenocarcinoma which will be classified according to Siewert's classification type I, II, or III.
  • Histological documentation of local recurrence or metastasis is strongly encouraged, unless the risk of such a procedure outweighs the potential benefit of confirming the metastatic disease.
  • If no histologic confirmation, then the metastases or recurrence will require documentation by a 2nd radiographic procedure (i.e. positron emission tomography [PET] scan or magnetic resonance imaging [MRI] in addition to the computed tomography [CT] scan). If the imaging procedure does not confirm recurrent or metastatic disease, biopsy confirmation will be required.
  • Patients must have disease that can be evaluated radiographically. This may be measurable disease or non-measurable disease. Measurable disease is defined as that which can be measured in at least one dimension as > or = 20 mm with conventional techniques, or > or = 10 mm by high resolution imaging. Disease that is identified on radiology studies, but does not meet the criteria for measurable disease, is considered non-measurable - see section 12.1.1 of protocol for further details.
  • No prior chemotherapy for metastatic or unresectable disease. Patients may have received prior adjuvant therapy (chemotherapy and/or chemoradiation) if more than 6 months have elapsed between the end of adjuvant therapy and registration. Patients may not have received prior docetaxel or cisplatin, or bevacizumab or any other novel biologic anti-angiogenic agent.
  • Age 18 years or older.

  • Karnofsky performance status > or = 70% (ECOG performance status 0-1).
  • Peripheral neuropathy < or = grade 1
  • Hematologic (minimal values):
  • White blood cell count > or = 3000/mm3
  • Absolute neutrophil count > or = 1500 cells/mm3
  • Hemoglobin > or = 9.0 g/dl
  • Platelet count > or = 100,000/mm3
  • Hepatic (minimal values):
  • Total bilirubin < or = to upper limit of normal (ULN)
  • AST and ALT and alkaline phosphatase must be within the eligible range. In determining eligibility, the more abnormal of the two values (AST or ALT) should be used. AST and ALT and alkaline phosphatase should be no more than 1-1.5 times the upper limit of normal.
  • Kidney function (minimal values):
  • Serum creatinine < or = 1.5 mg/dl
  • Urinalysis < 2+ proteinuria; urine protein (mg/dl)/urine creatinine (mg/dl) ratio (Up/c) < 1.0
  • The patient has a PT (INR) < or = 1.5 and a PTT < or = 3 seconds above the upper limits of normal if the patient is not on anticoagulation therapy. If a patient is on full-dose anticoagulants, the following criteria should be met for enrollment:
  • The patient must have an in-range INR (usually between 2 and 3) on a stable dose of warfarin or on stable dose of LMW heparin.
  • The patient must not have active bleeding or pathological conditions that carry high risk of bleeding (e.g. tumor involving major vessels, known varices).
  • Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test. Men and women of childbearing potential must be willing to consent to using effective contraception while on treatment and for at least 3 months thereafter.
  • Ability to understand informed consent and signing of written informed consent document prior to initiation of protocol therapy.

Who cannot join

  • Patients who have received previous chemotherapy for the treatment of metastatic or unresectable gastric, GEJ, or esophageal adenocarcinoma are ineligible. Patients who have received previous pre- or post-operative chemotherapy or chemoradiation are ineligible if therapy was completed less than 6 months prior to study registration. Patients must have recovered from adverse events from any previous therapy.

About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of Docetaxel, Cisplatin, and Fluorouracil (Modified DCF) With Bevacizumab in Patients With Unresectable or Metastatic Gastroesophageal Adenocarcinoma

This study is being done to find out what effects a drug named/called bevacizumab has on patients and patients' tumors when given together with standard chemotherapy drugs. Making new blood vessels seems to be important for many tumors to grow. Bevacizumab is a new type of treatment for cancer that blocks the growth of new tumor blood vessels. In this study, the researchers will combine bevacizumab with chemotherapy drugs that are standard for the patient's disease and include cisplatin, docetaxel, fluorouracil, and leucovorin. The way the original combination of cisplatin, docetaxel, and fluorouracil was given caused many side effects including gastrointestinal symptoms, weakness, and a drop in the blood count of infection fighting cells. For this study, the researchers have modified this combination to give lower doses of the medicines more often, to reduce side effects from the chemotherapy. Patients will receive bevacizumab with this modified combination of docetaxel, cisplatin, and fluorouracil. This study is called a phase II study. In this study, everyone will have similar tumors and receive the same treatment.

What is being measured

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

  1. 6 Month Progression Free Survival

    as measured from the start of the treatment to the date of either documentation of disease progression or death. As we have previously, we will define progression of disease as per RECIST criteria. As per RECIST criteria, any evidence of progression in non-measurable lesions, measurable lesions, or the development of new lesions, would qualify as disease progression .RECIST criteria as defined by CTEP (http://ctep.info.nih.gov/Policies).

    Measured: 6 months

  2. 1-year Survival

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Patients With Measurable Disease the Confirmed Response Rate

    Measured: up to 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Docetaxel, Cisplatin, Fluorouracil, Bevacizumab, Leucovorin in people with Stomach Neoplasms and Esophageal Neoplasms, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center at 5 sites 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 24 inclusion and 24 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 14 Mar 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites 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 14 Mar 2016). 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?

6 Month Progression Free Survival (time frame: 6 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 14 Mar 2016.
