About this study

Official title: Phase I/II Study of Oral S-1 Plus Docetaxel in Elderly Patients With Advanced Gastric Cancer

To assess the usefulness of Docetaxel plus S-1 combination chemotherapy based on the antitumor effect and survival period by performing a phase I/II study of this combination in Elderly patients with inoperable or with postoperative gastric cancer.

Read the detailed description

A multicenter Open-label, single-arm, phase I/II clinical trial is conducted on Elderly patients with histological stage IV gastric cancer given Docetaxel plus S-1. The usefulness of this regimens as 1st line therapy for gastric cancer was evaluated by the disease-free survival rate (DFR), overall survival rate (OS), incidence and severity of adverse event.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Determine the DLT(Dose Limiting Toxicity) and MTD(Maximum Tolerated Dose) in Phase I setting. Determine the clinical response rate with Recommended dose in Phase II setting.

    Measured: 1-year

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Determine the clinical response rate of patients in Phase I setting.

    Measured: 1-year

  2. Determine the OS(Overall Survival) and DFS(Disease Free Survival).

    Measured: 2-years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Taxotere and TS-1 in people with Gastric Cancer, run by Hokkaido Gastrointestinal Cancer Study Group at 1 site in Japan.

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 11 inclusion and 12 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: paused, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 May 2010. 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 Japan. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Determine the DLT(Dose Limiting Toxicity) and MTD(Maximum Tolerated Dose) in Phase I setting. Determine the clinical response rate with Recommended dose in Phase II setting. (time frame: 1-year). 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 26 May 2010.
