About this study

Official title: Reversal of Preneoplastic Metaplasia in the Stomach With MEK Inhibitor Treatment

This is a study of the safety and effectiveness of Trametinib treatment in patients who have received successful endoscopic submucosal resection of a Stage I gastric cancer.

Read the detailed description

Objectives:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of Trametinib in reversing metaplasia in participants with Stage 1 gastric cancer
  • To evaluate the safety of Trametinibin in Stage I gastric cancer patients
Being tested
Trametinib treatment, Endoscopy
Medical subject headings
Stomach Neoplasms, Metaplasia

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Trametinib treatmentDrug

    1 mg taken by mouth once a day for 14 days

  • EndoscopyProcedure or surgery

    A tiny camera on the end of a long, flexible tube will be used to examine the stomach and take biopsies.

What is being measured

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

  1. Effectiveness of Trametinib in reversing metaplasia: changes in cell lineages

    The ability of Trametinib treatment to decrease the presence of metaplastic cell lineages in biopsies of the lining of the stomach, while also allowing the return of normal cell lineages (i.e. acid-secreting parietal cells). Cell lineages will be identified by immunostaining of tissue sections from biopsies.

    Measured: About 12 months

  2. Safety of Trametinib treatment: adverse events

    Assessment of side effects induced during or after treatment with Trametinib.

    Measured: About 12 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Trametinib treatment and Endoscopy in people with Gastric Cancer and Metaplasia, run by Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center at 3 sites in Japan.

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 11 inclusion and 23 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 31 Jul 2024. 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 Japan. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

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?

Effectiveness of Trametinib in reversing metaplasia: changes in cell lineages (time frame: About 12 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 31 Jul 2024.
