About this study

Official title: Phase II Study of Adjuvant Intraperitoneal FUDR Treatment Added to Chemoradiation (5-Fluorouracil/Leucovorin Plus Total Dose 4500 cGy of External Beam Radiotherapy) in Patients With Fully Resected Locally Advanced Gastric Adenocarcinoma

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the side effects of a new treatment for stomach cancer which may potentially improve the prognosis of this cancer.

Our principle objective is to improve the results of standard chemotherapy and radiation after surgery of patients with gastric cancer. The intra-abdominal (intraperitoneal) administration of floxuridine (FUDR) is a procedure that we have studied and have determined it is a safe treatment. In this study, we want to evaluate the side effects of this treatment when it is given after surgery but before standard intravenous chemotherapy and radiation.

Study treatment will start with surgical removal of the part of the stomach with cancer, together with surrounding tissues and lymph nodes. After surgery, patients will get treatment with a chemotherapy drug, FUDR, administered directly into the abdomen. This is called intraperitoneal chemotherapy. After this treatment patients will receive repeated intravenous injection of two drugs, 5-fluorouracil and leucovorin alone or combined with irradiation of the abdomen.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing floxuridine, 5-Fluorouracil, leucovorin, External Beam Radiotherapy and Surgery in people with Gastric Adenocarcinoma and Gastric Cancer, 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 9 inclusion and 5 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 22 May 2014. 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?

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.

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 May 2014.
