About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of Doxorubicin, Cisplatin, and 5-Fluorouracil in Patients With Advanced Adenocarcinoma of the Stomach or Esophagus

The purpose of this study is to collect information on the anti-tumor activity of the combination doxorubicin, cisplatin, and 5-fluorouracil when given to patients with advanced esophageal or gastric adenocarcinoma. We will also be collecting information about the side effects and safety of this combination.

Read the detailed description
  • Patients will receive cisplatin and doxorubicin intravenously once every 3 weeks. In addition to cisplatin and doxorubicin, patients will receive 5-fluorouracil intravenously as a continuous infusion for the duration of the study. In order to do this, patients will receive an infusion pump that can be carried with them. Treatment cycles will be repeated every 21 days for a maximum of 8 cycles.
  • Prior to enrollment in this study and while the patient is receiving the therapy, routine blood tests and x-ryas (including chest x-rays and CT scans) will be performed to check the body's response to the treatment. Blood tests will be checked once a week and chest x-rays and CT scans will be checked every 6 weeks.
  • Patients with progressive disease or intolerable side effects will be removed from the study. Patients with stable disease or tumor response will continue therapy for a maximum of 8 cycles.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Doxorubicin, Cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil in people with Adenocarcinoma of Stomach and Adenocarcinoma of GE Junction, run by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute at 2 sites in United States.

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 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 28 Apr 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. 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 determine the activity of doxorubicin, cisplatin and continuous infusion of 5-fluorouracil in patients with measurable, locally unresectable or metastatic adenocarcinoma of the stomach, GE junction, or esophagus.. 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 28 Apr 2009.
