About this study
Official title: A Phase II Study of Caelyx in the Treatment of Advanced Gastric Cancer
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.
PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of liposomal doxorubicin in treating patients who have advanced stomach cancer.
Read the detailed description
OBJECTIVES: I. Determine overall survival, time to disease progression, objective reponse rate, safety profile, and quality of life in patients with inoperable gastric adenocarcinoma when treated with doxorubicin HCl liposome.
OUTLINE: Patients receive doxorubicin HCl liposome IV over 1 hour every 4 weeks. Treatment continues for up to 6 courses in the absence of unacceptable toxicity or disease progression. Patients with responding disease may continue therapy past the 6 courses until documented disease progression. Quality of life is assessed prior to every treatment course. All patients are followed at 1 month. Patients with stable or responding disease are then followed every 3 months until death.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 30 patients will be accrued for this study within 24 months.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing pegylated liposomal doxorubicin hydrochloride in people with Esophageal Cancer and Gastric Cancer, run by University of Leicester at 1 site in United Kingdom.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
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 Jun 2014. 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 United Kingdom. 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?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
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 Jun 2014.
