About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of Weekly Paclitaxel(Taxol)and 24-Hour Infusion High-Dose 5-Fluorouracil and Leucovorin(HDFL)in the Treatment Locally Advanced and Recurrent/Metastatic Gastric Cancers

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy,response rate,time to treatment failure,overall survival,toxicities of Paclitaxel-HDFL regimen in locally advanced/inoperable and recurrent/metastatic gastric cancers. To evaluate the resectability and relapse pattern after potentially curative resection of neoadjuvant Paclitaxel-HDFL regimen

Read the detailed description

In the treatment of metastatic breast cancer, paclitaxel followed by weekly HDFL has been shown to have a 55% response rate in anthracycline-resistant patient. Recently, regimen combining paclitaxel and moderately-high-dose 5-FU (1500mg/m2) has had response rate up to 61.5% (including 23%CR) in a small group of gastric cancer patients (8 responders in 13 patients). Thus, the sequential use of weekly paclitaxel followed by weekly HDFL regimen may become a new generation of chemotherapeutic regimen for the treatment of gastric cancer. Further study with a larger group of patients and further testing of possible schedules of administration are warranted.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Paclitaxel-HDFL in people with Locally Advanced and Recurrent/Metastatic Gastric Cancer, run by National Taiwan University Hospital.

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Nov 2005. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Response rate. 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 22 Nov 2005.
