About this study

Official title: Phase II Study of Weekly Docetaxol Combined With Cisplatin and 5-Fu in Patients With Advanced Gastric Cancer

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of weekly docetaxol combined with cisplatin and 5-Fu in patients with AGC.

Read the detailed description

Recently,in a multi-center, open-label randomized phase III study (V325), compared to the control arm of CF regimen, DCF showed higher efficacy in terms of response rate, time to progression and overall survival. But the regimen had increased grade 3-4 neutropenia (82% vs 57%) and febrile neutropenia infection (29% vs 12%). We began to study on weekly DCF in the patients with advanced gastric cancer to evaluate the efficacy no less than that of 3-week' regimen.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Response rate, overall survival (time frame: 2-6 months). 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.
