Who cannot join

  • Prior treatment with another topoisomerase I inhibitor
  • More than 1 prior chemotherapy regimen for advanced disease
  • Prior radiation therapy to >25% of the bone marrow
  • Any investigational agent received in the 4 weeks before enrollment to this study and/or current enrollment in another therapeutic clinical trial
  • Previous high-dose chemotherapy requiring hematopoietic stem cell rescue
  • Known brain metastases, or spinal cord compression, or carcinomatous meningitis (baseline CT or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of the brain required only in case of clinical suspicion of central nervous system metastases)
Show all 13Show fewer
  • Previous (within the last 5 years) or current malignancies at other sites, except for adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer or in situ carcinoma of the cervix uteri
  • Active inflammatory bowel disease, partial or complete bowel obstruction or chronic diarrhea
  • Any of the following in the past 6 months: myocardial infarction, severe/unstable angina, coronary/peripheral artery bypass graft, symptomatic congestive heart failure, cerebrovascular accident or transient ischemic attack, pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis or other significant thromboembolic event
  • Ongoing cardiac dysrhythmias of NCI CTC grade >=2, atrial fibrillation of any grade
  • Active infection, including known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positivity
  • Other severe acute or chronic medical or psychiatric condition or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk associated with study participation or study drug administration or may interfere with the interpretation of study results and, in the judgement of the investigator, would make the subject inappropriate for entry into this study

About this study

Official title: A Phase II Efficacy And Safety Study Intravenous Edotecarin In Patients With Advanced Gastric Cancer That Has Progressed Or Recurred After Prior Fluropyrimidine-Based Chemotherapy

This will be an international, multicenter, uncontrolled, 2-stage, phase II study in adult patients with advanced gastric cancer, reasonable performance status, good organ function, lack of serious concomitant medical conditions. Patients must have progressed or recurred after a fluoropyrimidine-containing regimen at anytime for primary metastatic disease or within 6 months of last dose of adjuvant therapy. Twenty-one evaluable patients will be enrolled in Stage 1. If at least 2 objective tumor responses are observed in the first 21 evaluable patients, the study will be expanded to enroll a total of 41 evaluable patients. Edotecarin will be administered at a starting dose of 13 mg/m2 as an IV infusion over 60 minutes in repeated 3-week cycles treatment.

What participants receive

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

  • EdotecarinDrug

What is being measured

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

  1. To assess the antitumor activity of edotecarin by repeating radiographic assessments at 6-week intervals for all patients.

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. To determine the time of onset and duration of tumor control, and overall survival.

  2. In addition, the safety and tolerability profile of edotecarin will be assessed, and plasma pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of edotecarin will be evaluated.

  3. Blood samples for PK evaluation will be collected during Cycles 1 and 2 and limited to the patients included in the first stage of the study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Edotecarin in people with Stomach Neoplasms, run by Pfizer at 10 sites in 6 countries.

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 10 inclusion and 13 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 1 Apr 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites in Belgium, Spain, Taiwan, France, 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

To assess the antitumor activity of edotecarin by repeating radiographic assessments at 6-week intervals for all patients.. 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 1 Apr 2008.
