About this study

Official title: Phase II Study of Trastuzumab in Combination With Chemotherapy (Docetaxel Plus Capecitabine) For First Line Treatment of Her2-Positive Advanced Gastric or Gastro-Esophageal Junction Cancer

Patients with inoperable, locally advanced or recurrent and/or HER2-positive metastatic gastric or gastro-esophageal junction cancer, with no prior treatment for metastatic disease are to be recruited in the study. In the current study, the efficacy and safety of Trastuzumab in combination with Capecitabine/Docetaxel will be evaluated in Chinese patients with HER2 positive advanced or recurrent gastric cancer.60 patients could provide adequate precision rather than controlling type I\&II error. Assuming the target PFS is 6.7m, 60 patients will give 90% CI of (5.5, 8.4). Considering the 5% drop out rate, 65 patients will be enrolled.

Read the detailed description

This is a phase II, multi-center, open label, single arm, interventional study. Patients with HER2-positive metastatic gastric or gastro-esophageal junction adenocarcinoma who have not received prior treatment for metastatic disease will be treated with trastuzumab(8 mg/kg loading dose followed by 6 mg/kg every 3 weeks ),Capecitabine(2000mg/m2d, d1-14,every 3 weeks) and Docetaxel (60mg/m2 every 3 weeks for 6 cycles).All patients will continue to receive trastuzumab and Capecitabine until either disease progression, occurrence of unacceptable toxicity or withdrawal from the study for another reason.Primary endpoints is PFS and secondary endpoints are ORR, OS and Safety.Recruitment period:24 months;PFS follow-up period: 80% PFS events;OS follow-up period: 18 months or 80% OS events, whichever occurs first.

What is being measured

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

  1. PFS(Progression-free survival )

    The PFS was calculated from the initiation of chemotherapy to the date of disease progression or death,

    Measured: up to 4 years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. ORR (Overall tumor response)

    Overall tumor response: This is defined as the occurrence of either a confirmed complete (CR) or a partial (PR) best overall response as determined by the RECIST criteria from confirmed radiographic evaluations of target and non-target lesions.

    Measured: up to 4 years

  2. OS (Overall survival )

    Overall survival was measured from the initiation of chemotherapy to the date of the last follow-up or death.

    Measured: up to 4 years

  3. Safety

    Adverse events and laboratory tests graded according to the NCI-CTC AE Version 4.

    Measured: up to 4 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Trastuzumab, Docetaxel and Capecitabine in people with Stomach Neoplasms and Neoplasms Metastasis, run by Sun Yat-sen 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 14 inclusion and 14 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 18 Nov 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 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?

PFS(Progression-free survival ) (time frame: up to 4 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02004769, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 18 Nov 2016.
