About this study

This study aimed to verify the survival benefit of TS-1 plus CDDP combination chemotherapy compared with the monotherapy by TS-1 alone.

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized, controlled, open-label, parallel, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to 3 factors ; performance status (ECOG scale: 0, 1, 2), disease stage (unresectable gastric cancer or recurrent gastric cancer (received prior adjuvant chemotherapy or not)) and participating center. Patients are randomized to one of two treatment arms. Arm A: Patients receive oral TS-1 twice daily on days 1-28 followed by 14 days rest. Treatment is repeated every 42 days for up to 4 courses. Arm B: Patients receive CDDP iv on day 8 and oral TS-1 twice daily on days 1-21 followed by 14 days rest. Treatment is repeated every 35 days for up to 5 courses. Patients are followed every 6 months for up to 2 years from the day they participates in this study.

What participants receive

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

  • TS-1 and cisplatinDrug

    TS-1(40-60 mg per body surface area) was given orally, twice daily for 3 consecutive weeks, and 60 mg/m2 cisplatin was given intravenously on day 8, followed by a 2-week rest period, within a 5-week cycle.

  • TS-1Drug

    TS-1(40-60 mg per body surface area) was given orally, twice daily for 4 consecutive weeks, followed by a 2-week rest period, within a 6-week cycle.

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall survival

    Measured: every course for first three courses, then every other course

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Overall response rate, lesion-directed response rate, time to treatment failure (TTF), hospitalization-free survival period within the periods of TTF, and safety profile

    Measured: every course for first three courses, then every other course

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing TS-1 and cisplatin and TS-1 in people with Gastric Cancer, run by Taiho Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. at 1 site 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 11 inclusion and 8 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 7 Jul 2011. 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 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 (time frame: every course for first three courses, then every other course). 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 NCT00150670, which also lists 2 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 7 Jul 2011.
