About this study

Official title: The Study of Intraperitoneal Docetaxel Plus S-1 for Malignant Ascites Due to Far Advanced Gastric Cancer

This is a clinical Study to evaluate the effect, survival benefit and safety of intraperitoneal docetaxel combined with oral S-1 for advanced gastric cancer with malignant ascites.

Read the detailed description

Peritoneal metastasis(PM) is common in advanced gastric cancer and associated with a poor prognosis. The median survival time is 3 to 4 months and even shorter in the patients with malignant ascites. Systemic chemotherapy is considered to be less effective against peritoneal metastasis (PM) due to the existence of the blood-peritoneal barrier (BPB), which inhibits the movement of drugs from systemic circulation to the peritoneal cavity.

S-1 is one kind of oral fluoropyrimidine derivatives and has been reported to be effective on PM. Docetaxel (DTX) has a pharmacokinetic advantage after intraperitoneal(IP)delivery which is hundreds of times higher than systemic administration. The use of S-1 and docetaxel has been studied in some phase II trials. Fujiwara and Fushida reported the usefulness of IP docetaxel combined with oral S-1 regimen in gastric cancer with PM respectively,the median survival time can exceed 16 months and one year survival rate was over 70%. Therefore, the investigators suppose IP docetaxel and oral S-1 can also be effective for gastric cancer with malignant ascites and start this study.

This is a single center, open-label, prospective clinical trial. Patients with histological proven gastric cancer with ascites, who fulfill the inclusion and exclusion criteria, can be recruited in this study. Patients will be firstly received laparoscopic exploration for Peritoneal Cancer Index (PCI)score, extraction of 100ml ascites for cytology examination, and one peritoneal access port is implanted in the subcutaneous space of the lower abdomen. Then patients were treated with chemotherapy on the first day after operation, the regimen as follows: DTX is administered IP at a dose of 60 mg/m2 on day 1. DTX is diluted in 1 litre normal saline and administered through the implanted peritoneal access port over 1 hour. S-1 was administered orally twice daily at a dose of 80 mg/m2 per day for 14 consecutive days, followed by 7 days of rest. The treatment course will be repeated every three weeks until observation of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Before each intraperitoneal chemotherapy, investigators extract 50-100 ml ascites for cytology pathologic examination, the abdominal CT will be reviewed after every three course to evaluate the volume of ascites.

The volume of ascites before and after therapy, PCI scores, ascites cytology results, complications, side effects and conditions of survival state and follow-up will be recorded and analyzed to evaluate the effect, survival benefit and safety of this study.

What is being measured

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

  1. response rate of ascites

    From date of enrollment to three cycles of treatment,the ascites is evaluated by the Japanese conventional five-point method

    Measured: 9 weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. one year survival rate

    From date of enrollment until 1 year

    Measured: 1 year

  2. side effects of chemotherapy

    Grade refers to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events(CTCAE)Version4.0

    Measured: 1 week to 18 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing intraperitoneal docetaxel and oral S-1 in people with Stomach Neoplasms and Peritoneal Metastasis, run by Fudan 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 9 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Jan 2017. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

response rate of ascites (time frame: 9 weeks). 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 24 Jan 2017.
