About this study

Official title: An Open,Multi-Center,Phase II Clinical Trial tO Evaluate Efficacy and Safety oF TAXOL(PACLITAXEL),UFT,and LEUCOVORIN in Patients With Advanced Gastric Cancer

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the response rate of Paclitaxel combination chemotherapy with UFT and Leucovorin in patients with advanced gastric cancer.

Read the detailed description

Since 1982,cancer has been the leading cause of death in Taiwan. In particular,gastric cancer is the fourth leading cause of death in male cancer patients and the sixth for female patients in 2000,accounting for an estimated 2,374 deaths. In recent years, the treatment of gastric cancer patients has gradually been improving due to advances in early diagnosis and surgical techniques. Although chemotherapy and radiation therapy have been used in either the adjuvant or palliative setting, their values are still limited due to their unacceptable toxicity or inadequate efficiency.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

What does the primary outcome measure?

To evaluate the response rate (time frame: 2003~2004). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
