What is being measured

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

  1. disease control rate according to the RECIST v1.1

    The primary outcome of the current study is the disease control according to the HER2 status. That is, the % of the patients who maintains at least stable disease by RECIST v1.1 at the time of the second tumor evaluation which will be taken at 6~8 weeks later after the first evaluation. The comparison will be done by Pearsons's chi-square test.

    Measured: at 6~8 weeks later after the first evaluation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Docetaxel 60 mg/m2, epirubicin 60 mg/m2, q3wks in people with Metastatic Advanced Gastric Cancer, run by Yonsei University 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 9 inclusion and 7 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 17 Aug 2016. 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 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?

disease control rate according to the RECIST v1.1 (time frame: at 6~8 weeks later after the first evaluation). 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 17 Aug 2016.
