About this study

Official title: Randomized Phase III Study of 5-FU Continuous Infusion (5FUci) Versus MTX+5-FU Sequential Therapy (MF) in Gastric Cancer With Peritoneal Metastasis (JCOG0106-MF, MF/5FU)

To develop effective chemotherapy regimen against gastric cancer with peritoneal metastasis

Read the detailed description

Peritoneal metastasis is common in advanced gastric cancer and is considered an incurable disease state. Peritoneal metastasis may cause serious complications, such as intestinal obstruction, massive ascites, and hydronephrosis associated with the clinical presentation of abdominal pain and fullness, vomiting, constipation, malnutrition and renal dysfunction.5-FU continuous infusion remains the mainstay for chemotherapy against gastric cancer. On the other, sequential MTX+5-FU was reported to be effective in advanced gastric cancer with peritoneal metastasis in some phase II studies. Therefore, the randomized phase III study of 5-FU versus sequential MTX+5-FU in gastric cancer with peritoneal metastasis was conducted.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing 5-FU continuous infusion and MTX + 5-FU sequential therapy in people with Gastric Cancer and Neoplasm Metastasis, run by Japan Clinical Oncology Group at 34 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 10 inclusion and 5 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 3 Feb 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 34 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

overall survival. 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 3 Feb 2009.
