About this study

Official title: A Phase II Trial of Perioperative Chemotherapy With Leucovorin, Oxaliplatin, Docetaxel and S-1 (LOTS) For Patients With Locally Advanced Gastric or Gastroesophageal Junction Adenocarcinoma

The aim of the trial is to investigate the clinical efficacy and toxicity of perioperative chemotherapy with leucovorin, oxaliplatin, docetaxel and S-1 (LOTS) in patients with locally advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma who receive a curative surgery.

Read the detailed description

The study is an open-label, single-arm, single-country and multi-center phase II investigator-initiated trial. Patients with locally advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma who enroll the trial will receive perioperative chemotherapy with LOTS (14 days as a cycle) 4 cycles every 2 weeks, followed by operation and another 4 cycles every 2 weeks post-operatively. The primary outcome is pathological response or curative resection rate. The secondary outcome includes recurrence-free survival, overall survival, disease control rate, protocol completion rate and adverse events.

What is being measured

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

  1. Pathological response

    the tumor pathological response after pre-operative chemotherapy with LOTS plus curative surgery. The pathological response is defined by tumor evaluation of complete, partial or no response according to tumor regression grading (TRG)

    Measured: after pre-operative chemotherapy and curative surgery (Week 11 to 13)

  2. Curative resection rate

    the rate of margin-free (R0) resection in the absence of macro- or microscopic residual tumors remaining at the primary tumor bed

    Measured: after pre-operative chemotherapy and curative surgery (Week 11 to 13)

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Recurrence-free survival

    the time interval from the initiation of trial treatment to disease recurrence, progression or death at any causes

    Measured: From date of the initiation of trial treatment until the date of disease recurrence, progression or death at any causes, whichever came first, assessed up to 48 months

  2. Overall survival

    the time interval from the initiation of trial treatment to death at any causes

    Measured: From date of the initiation of trial treatment until the date of death at any causes, assessed up to 48 months

  3. Disease control rate

    the rate of patients remaining in disease control (complete, partial response and stable disease per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Guidelines version 1.1) lasting at least three months

    Measured: From date of the initiation of trial treatment until the date of recurrence/death events, withdrawal from the trial at any causes, termination/completion of the trial, whichever came first, assessed up to 48 months

  4. Protocol completion rate

    the rate of patients completing the pre-specified protocol treatment

    Measured: From date of the initiation of trial treatment until the date of recurrence/death events, withdrawal from the trial at any causes, termination/completion of the trial, whichever came first, assessed up to 48 months

  5. Treatment-emergent adverse event rate

    the rate of protocol treatment-emergent adverse events, as graded by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0

    Measured: From date of the initiation of trial treatment until the date of recurrence/death events, withdrawal from the trial at any causes, termination/completion of the trial, whichever came first, assessed up to 48 months

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 8 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Nov 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in Taiwan. 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?

Contact Clinical Trial Center, National Cheng-Kung University Hospital (+886-6-2353535 ext. 4290, ctcnckuh@mail.hosp.ncku.edu.tw), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Pathological response (time frame: after pre-operative chemotherapy and curative surgery (Week 11 to 13)). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04999332, which also lists 5 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 15 Nov 2023.
