About this study

Imatinib mesylate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for tumor cell growth. This phase II trial is studying how well imatinib mesylate works in treating patients with refractory metastatic and/or unresectable stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine the response rate, time to tumor progression, and overall survival in patients with metastatic gastric cancer treated with STI571 who have failed one chemotherapy regimen for metastatic disease.

II. To assess the toxicities of STI571 in these patients. III. To obtain preliminary data on molecular correlates to determine clinical efficacy and toxicity.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to risk (good risk [chemonaïve] vs poor risk [1 prior chemotherapy regimen]).

Patients receive oral imatinib mesylate twice daily on days 1-28. Courses repeat every 4 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed for 30 days.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 21-41 patients will be accrued for this study within 1-1.5 years.

What is being measured

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

  1. Response Rate

    Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by X-Ray, MRI or CT: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR

    Measured: Up to 6 years

  2. Toxicity Summary

    Toxicity assessed by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 2.0. Grade 3 and above adverse events possibly, probably or definitely related to treatment.

    Measured: Up to 30 days post treatment

  3. Progression-free Survival

    Estimated using the product-limit method of Kaplan and Meier. Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions.

    Measured: From first day of treatment to the first observation of disease progression or death due to any cause, assessed up to 30 days post treatment

  4. Overall Survival

    Will be summarized using the Kaplan-Meier product-limit estimators.

    Measured: From first day of treatment to time of death due to any cause, assessed up to 5 years post-treatment

  5. Time to Treatment Failure

    Defined as the time from start of treatment to the discontinuation of treatment for any reason, including disease progression, treatment toxicity, patient preference, or death Will be summarized using the Kaplan-Meier product-limit estimators. Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions

    Measured: From first day of treatment until discontinuation of treatment, assessed up to 30 days post treatment

  6. Baseline Gene Expression Levels of the Target Genes (PDGF-R and PDGF), Genes Associated With Induction of Apoptosis (Bcl-2, Bax), and Cell Cycle Regulatory Genes (p53, p21, p27

    Will summarized overall and according to response and toxicity (if numbers permit), using medians, quartiles and ranges - or if a transformation is found to render the data compatible with the normal assumptions, with means, standard deviations, and confidence intervals. The association with progression-free survival or overall survival will be assessed by dichotomizing the measures of gene expression at the median (or by previously established cut-points) and constructing Kaplan-Meier plots.

    Measured: Baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing imatinib mesylate and laboratory biomarker analysis in people with Recurrent Gastric Cancer and Stage IV Gastric Cancer, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) at 1 site in United States.

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 14 inclusion and 10 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Jul 2018. 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 States. 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 12 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?

Response Rate (time frame: Up to 6 years). The study lists 6 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 11 Jul 2018.
