What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants With a Response by Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) Category

    Tumor response assessed according to RECIST. Complete response (CR): complete disappearance of all target and non-target lesions, with exception of nodal disease. All nodes, both target and non-target, must decrease to normal (short axis less than [<]10 millimeters [mm]); no new lesions. Partial response (PR): greater than or equal to (≥)30 percent (%) decrease under baseline of sum of diameters of all target lesions. Short axis was used in the sum for target nodes, while the longest diameter was used in the sum for all other target lesions; no unequivocal progression of non-target disease; no new lesions. Stable disease (SD): not qualifying for CR, PR, or progressive disease (PD). Participants who could not be classified per RECIST were allocated as follows: early death from malignant disease (death due to cancer), early death because of other cause (death not related to toxicity or cancer disease), and unknown (for not fitting into the above categories).

    Measured: Weekly throughout study

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Percentage of Participants With Clinical Benefit

    Participants were classified as having a clinical benefit if they had a best overall tumor response of CR, PR, or SD. Tumor response assessed according to RECIST. CR: complete disappearance of all target and non-target lesions, with exception of nodal disease. All nodes, both target and non-target, must decrease to normal (short axis <10 mm); no new lesions. PR: ≥30% decrease under baseline of sum of diameters of all target lesions. Short axis was used in the sum for target nodes, while the longest diameter was used in the sum for all other target lesions; no unequivocal progression of non-target disease; no new lesions. Stable SD: not qualifying for CR, PR, or PD.

    Measured: Weekly throughout the study

  2. Percentage of Participants With a Best Overall Response of CR or PR

    Tumor response assessed according to RECIST. CR: complete disappearance of all target and non-target lesions, with exception of nodal disease. All nodes, both target and non-target, must decrease to normal (short axis <10 mm); no new lesions. PR: ≥30% decrease under baseline of sum of diameters of all target lesions. Short axis was used in the sum for target nodes, while the longest diameter was used in the sum for all other target lesions; no unequivocal progression of non-target disease; no new lesions.

    Measured: Weekly throughout the study

  3. Overall Survival - Number of Participants Who Died

    OS was defined as the time, in months, from the date of study entry to the date of the death due to any cause. If a participant's date of death was unknown, or had not occurred, the last date of examination, treatment, and follow-up dates were included in the analysis.

    Measured: Weekly throughout the study

  4. Overall Survival

    Overall survival (OS) was defined as the time, in months, from the date of study entry to the date of the death due to any cause. If a participant's date of death was unknown, or had not occurred, the last date of examination, treatment, and follow-up dates were included in the analysis.

    Measured: Weekly throughout the study

  5. Time to Progression - Number of Participants With an Event

    Time to progression was defined as the time, in months, from the date of study entry to the date of disease progression or death due to any cause. If a participant's date of disease progression or death was unknown, or had not occurred, the last date of examination, treatment, and follow-up dates were included in the analysis.

    Measured: Weekly throughout the study

  6. Time to Progression

    Time to progression was defined as the time, in months, from the date of study entry to the date of disease progression or death due to any cause. If a participant's date of disease progression or death was unknown, or had not occurred, the last date of examination, treatment, and follow-up dates were included in the analysis.

    Measured: Weekly throughout the study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Trastuzumab in people with Gastric Cancer, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 12 sites in 2 countries.

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 6 inclusion and 5 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 11 Aug 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 12 sites in Germany, Austria. 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 11 Aug 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?

Percentage of Participants With a Response by Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) Category (time frame: Weekly throughout study). 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 11 Aug 2014.
