About this study
Official title: A Phase II Study Of Cabazitaxel For Metastatic Gastroesophageal Adenocarcinomas That Have Relapsed After At Least One Line Of Chemotherapy
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of Cabazitaxel, as well as safety and side effects for patients with advanced gastroesophageal cancer
Read the detailed description
Gastric cancer is the second most frequent cancer-related cause of death after lung cancer worldwide with approximately 900,000 cases per year. The incidence of gastric cancer is highest in East Asia, China and Japan. In the last two decades there has been a dramatic increase in North America and Europe of adenocarcinoma of the distal esophagus and GE junction which are indistinguishable from proximal gastric cancer.
Cabazitaxel (XRP6258) is a semi-synthetic novel taxoid. Like traditional taxane drugs, it binds to and stabilizes tubilin structures resulting in inhibition of cold-induced microtubule depolymerization and cell division with subsequent inhibition of tumor cell proliferation. This novel agent, however, has poor affinity for P-glycoprotein--the protein product of multidrug resistance gene ABCB1. P-glycoprotein is a membrane-associated drug efflux pump and is thought to be a potential cause of taxane resistance in tumors. Also unlike traditional taxanes, Cabazitaxel has exhibited penetration through the blood-brain barrier (BBB.) Preclinical studies have demonstrated that Cabazitaxel was cytotoxic for cell lines with acquired resistance to doxorubicin, vincristine, vinblastine, paclitaxel or docetaxel.
Taxanes have demonstrated statistically significant antitumor activity as both monotherapy and as part of combination triplet regimens in gastroesophageal carcinoma.Cabazitaxel has emerged as a novel investigational semi-synthetic taxoid that has established activity in cell lines refractory to traditional taxanes in preclinical studies and now in a phase III study in patients with metastatic prostate cancer. Cabazitaxel, with its low affinity for the P-glycoprotein drug efflux pump, may demonstrate superior response rates to docetaxel. Furthermore, as demonstrated in prostate cancer, cabazitaxel appears to have substantial activity in patients who have previously been treated with docetaxel.
Phase I and II trials have been conducted demonstrating safety and efficacy of Cabazitaxel (XRP6258) in metastatic breast and prostate cancer. Neutropenia was the primary dose-limiting toxicity with the recommended dose established at 20 and 25mg/m2. The latter dose was used in the TROPIC trial, the pivotal phase III trial demonstrating improved overall survival and median progression free survival in patients with hormone resistant prostate cancer refractory to docetaxel who had received Cabazitaxel plus prednisone versus those who received mitaxantrone plus prednisone. Cabazitaxel given at IV doses of 25mg/m2 has demonstrated both safety and anti-tumor efficacy in phase I, II and now phase III trials
The primary goal is to evaluate the activity of Cabazitaxel for the treatment of advanced gastroesophageal cancer that has progressed after at least one line of treatment for metastatic disease. Activity will be defined as a complete or partial response. The investigators will differentiate between a 10% level of activity and a 30% level of activity.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing jevtana in people with Esophageal and Gastrooesophageal Cancer, run by howard safran at 3 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 12 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Apr 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 3 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 28 Apr 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?
Number of Patients Without Progression at 3 Months (time frame: every three cycles approx every 63 days). 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 12 Apr 2019; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
