Paclitaxel and Irinotecan in Advanced Gastric Cancer
A Phase 1/2 study testing Paclitaxel and irinotecan in people with Advanced Gastric Cancer, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.
Trial summary
Usually the combination of fluoropyrimidine with platinum is used as a first line chemotherapy (for example, 5-FU+cisplatin, capecitabine+cisplatin, S-1+ cisplatin, 5-FU+oxaliplatin) in advanced gastric cancer. After failure with this combination, taxane-based regimen or irinotecan-based regimen is usually used. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: A Phase I/II Trial of Second-line Chemotherapy With Paclitaxel and Irinotecan in Fluoropyrimidine- and Platinum-Pretreated Advanced Gastric Cancer
- Usually the combination of fluoropyrimidine with platinum is used as a first line chemotherapy (for example, 5-FU+cisplatin, capecitabine+cisplatin, S-1+ cisplatin, 5-FU+oxaliplatin) in advanced gastric cancer.
- After failure with this combination, taxane-based regimen or irinotecan-based regimen is usually used. But, as a second-line regimen, the combination of topoisomerase inhibitor with taxane has not been fully evaluated until now.
- So we designed this phase I/II study to evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of second-line chemotherapy with paclitaxel and irinotecan in fluoropyrimidine and platinum-pretreated advanced gastric cancer.
Read the detailed description
In gastric cancer, several active chemotherapeutic agents have been introduced. Fluoropyrimidine, platinum, taxane and topoisomerase inhibitor are the most commonly used agents. Many available single or combination regimens are existed. But, there is no standard palliative chemotherapy regimen as a first line treatment in unresectable advanced gastric cancer. Thereafter there is also no standard second line regimen.
Usually the combination of fluoropyrimidine with platinum is used as a first line chemotherapy (for example, 5-FU+cisplatin, capecitabine+cisplatin, S-1+ cisplatin, 5-FU+oxaliplatin). After failure with this combination, taxane-based regimen or irinotecan-based regimen is usually used. But, as a second-line regimen, the combination of topoisomerase inhibitor with taxane has not been fully evaluated until now.
In some studies using docetaxel and irinotecan combination in gastric cancer, the toxicity is highly concerned. (Jatoi A et al. 2002, Lordick F etl al. 2003, S Enrech et al. 2003, Chang HM et al. 2003) The combination of paclitaxel and irinotecan in gastric cancer is evaluated in two studies until now as far as we know (K Kobayashi et al. 2006, Hecht JR et al. 2003). These are phase I/II design and used this combination as first or second line treatment of gastric cancer. The response rate is 29.6% and 27% respectively. In one study, grade 3,4 hematologic toxicity is 33.3%. The dosing schedule is different between these two studies.
In one study, paclitaxel 50mg/m2 and irinotecan 50mg/m2 is used day 1and day 8 every 3 weeks. In the other study, paclitaxel 100mg/m2 and irinotecan 225mg/m2 is used every 3 weeks.
In these studies, the state of UGT1A1 polymorphism of enrolled patients has not been reported. Recently it is well known that the UGT1A1 polymorphism influences on the toxicity profile of irinotecan, e,g. myelosuppression and diarrhea. If a patient with UGT1A1*28 (7/7 homozygosity) is included in the low level of phase I period, the MTD of irinotecan might be set up in low dose without showing sufficient efficacy.
We think that it may be of deserve to evaluate the efficacy of paclitaxel and irinotecan combination regimen in gastric cancer patients and it is necessary to conduct phase I study to find out the accurate MTD of this regimen after considering the UGT1A1 polymorphism of patients.
So we designed this phase I/II study to evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of second-line chemotherapy with paclitaxel and irinotecan in fluoropyrimidine and platinum-pretreated advanced gastric cancer.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1/2 study testing Paclitaxel and irinotecan in people with Advanced Gastric Cancer, run by Seoul National University Hospital 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 8 inclusion and 20 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 20 May 2015. 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 combined phase mean?
Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
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?
Dose-limiting toxicity (phase I part) (time frame: during first cycle (first 3 week)). 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 20 May 2015; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
