  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patient's consent form obtained, signed and dated before beginning specific protocol procedures.
  • Gastric adenocarcinoma including adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction, histologically proven.
  • Measurable and/or evaluable metastatic disease; if a single metastatic lesion is the only manifestation of the disease, cytology or histology is mandatory. Locally recurrent disease is accepted provided that there is at least one measurable lesion (e.g. lymph node).
  • Performance status Karnofsky index > 70%.
  • Life expectancy of more than 3 months.
  • Adequate haematological and biochemistry parameters
  • No prior palliative chemotherapy, previous adjuvant (and/or neo-adjuvant) chemotherapy is allowed if more than 12 months has elapsed between the end of adjuvant (or neo-adjuvant) therapy and first relapse.

Who cannot join

  • Pregnant or lactating women.
  • Patients (M/F) with reproductive potential not implementing adequate contraceptive measures.
  • Other tumor type than adenocarcinoma (leiomyosarcoma ; lymphoma).
  • Any prior palliative chemotherapy. Prior adjuvant (and/or neo-adjuvant) chemotherapy with a first relapse within 12 months from the end of adjuvant (or neo-adjuvant).
  • Prior treatment with taxanes. Prior CDDP as adjuvant (and/or neo-adjuvant) chemotherapy with cumulative dose > 300 mg/m².

About this study

Official title: Open Label, Randomized Multicentre Phase II/III Study of Docetaxel in Combination With Cisplatin (CDDP) or Docetaxel in Combination With 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) and CDDP Compared to the Combination of CDDP and 5-FU in Patients With Metastatic or Locally Recurrent Gastric Cancer Previously Untreated With Chemotherapy for Advanced Disease

Phase II:

Primary objective: to select one of the 2 test arms (docetaxel with cisplatin, docetaxel with cisplatin and 5-FU), based primarily on complete responses, to advance to a phase III survival comparison against the CDDP + 5-FU control arm.

Secondary objective: to evaluate the quantitative and qualitative safety profile of the 2 test groups.

Phase III:

Primary objective: to detect a statistically significant increase in time to progression (TTP) for the test arm (docetaxel plus cisplatin and 5-FU) relative to the control arm (cisplatin plus 5-FU).

Main secondary objective: to detect a statistically significant increase in overall survival (OS) for the test arm (docetaxel plus cisplatin and 5-FU) relative to the control arm (cisplatin plus 5-FU).

Other secondary objectives: to compare response rates, time to treatment failure, duration of response, safety profiles, quality of life and disease-related symptoms.Socio-economic data will be collected in order to be able to perform an analysis by country when necessary.

What is being measured

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

  1. to detect a significant increase in time to progression in favor of docetaxel plus cisplatin and 5-FU compared to cisplatin plus 5-FU. Tumor assessments (assessed with WHO criteria) had to be performed every 8 weeks until progression

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Patients were to be followed until death (overall survival). Clinical and laboratory were assessed with NCIC-CTG scale, before each cycle. Quality of life and clinical benefit were assessed every 2 weeks until progression and then every 3 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing XRP6976 in people with Stomach Neoplasm, run by Sanofi.

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 7 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 29 Apr 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 detect a significant increase in time to progression in favor of docetaxel plus cisplatin and 5-FU compared to cisplatin plus 5-FU. Tumor assessments (assessed with WHO criteria) had to be performed every 8 weeks until progression. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00290966, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 29 Apr 2009.
