Trial summary
This study is for people with advanced gastric or gastroesophageal cancer. This study is being done to find out how long it takes tumors to grow after receiving treatment with the drugs irinotecan (also known as CPT-11) and docetaxel (also known as Taxotere). Read more about this study

- Ages 18 years and older
- All sexes
- No healthy volunteers
- Adult, Older adult
Who may be able to join
- Patients must have clinically documented unresectable or metastatic gastric cancer or gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma and histologic confirmation of the diagnosis with tumor.
- Patients must have received one prior chemotherapeutic regimen for metastatic or unresectable disease. Patients may not have received prior therapy with irinotecan or a taxane.

- Patients must agree to have a 20 cc blood sample drawn in addition to routine labs with each cycle of chemotherapy.
- Patients must have measurable disease by clinical exam or radiologic studies, that is at least one lesion measurable in at least one dimension, measuring 10 mm or more on a spiral CT scan, or at least 20 mm by an exam or a non-spiral scan. If prior radiation therapy was administered, measurable disease must be outside the radiation field.

About this study
Official title: Phase II Study of Irinotecan and Docetaxel in Patients With Metastatic or Unresectable Gastric or Gastroesophageal Junction Adenocarcinoma
This study is for people with advanced gastric or gastroesophageal cancer. This study is being done to find out how long it takes tumors to grow after receiving treatment with the drugs irinotecan (also known as CPT-11) and docetaxel (also known as Taxotere). Irinotecan is a drug that has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Irinotecan has been approved for treatment of cancer of the colon and rectum. Docetaxel is another drug approved by the FDA. Docetaxel is approved for treatment of breast, prostate and lung cancer. However, the FDA has authorized the use of irinotecan and docetaxel in this study. This study will evaluate the effects of these drugs on participant's tumors. The side effects of the combination of irinotecan and docetaxel will also be evaluated. This study will also measure the levels of certain substances in participant's tumors. These substances, called genes (which are the cell's blueprint), affect how people's bodies react to the cancer drugs. Genes will also be measured in participant's blood. The researchers want to see if these substances can predict response to the study drugs.

irinotecan, docetaxelDrug
docetaxel 30 mg/m2 IV infusion days 1 and 8, with irinotecan 65 mg/m2 IV infusion on days 1 and 8.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Objective Response (Complete, Partial, Stable and Progression)
Objective response was defined using standard RECIST criteria. CR (complete response) = disappearance of all target lesions; PR (partial response) = 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter or target lesions; PD (progressive disease) = 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions SD (stable disease) = small changes that do not meet criteria of CR, PR, and PD.
Measured: every 2 cycles
Secondary outcomes (1)
Progression Free Survival
Progression free survival is measured from the start of treatment until the time the participant is first recorded as having disease progression, or death due to any cause. If a participant has not progressed or died, progression free survival is censored at the time of the last follow up.
Measured: every 2 cycles

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing irinotecan, docetaxel in people with Gastric Cancer and Esophageal Neoplasms, run by University of Southern California at 1 site 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 16 inclusion and 9 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 19 Feb 2018. 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 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?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 19 Feb 2018). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
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?
Objective Response (Complete, Partial, Stable and Progression) (time frame: every 2 cycles). 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 19 Feb 2018.
