About this study

Official title: Phase II Trial of Epirubicin Cisplatin and FU Combined With Endostar in Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Gastric Cancer

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of the ECF regimen (epirubicin, cisplatin and FU) combined with endostar-- a inhibitor of angiogenesis, in patients with advanced or metastatic gastric cancer (A/MGC).

Read the detailed description

Although there is no standard regimen in the treatment of metastatic gastric cancer, ECF regimen (epirubicin, cisplatin and FU) is often considered as a reference regimen. And ECF regimen has been suggested as the first line therapy for A/MGC by FDA. According to the result of a Chinese phase III clinical trial in metastatic lung cancer, endostar-- a new angiogenesis inhibitor prolonged the overall survival, time to progression and improved response rate. So we designed this clinical trial to evaluate whether endostar can bring survival benefits to patients with advanced and metastatic gastric cancer patients.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing ECF-endostar in people with Gastric Cancer, run by Fudan University at 1 site in China.

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 4 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 Jun 2011. 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 China. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

time to progression (time frame: every two cycles). 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 Jun 2011.
