About this study

Official title: A Phase III Randomized Controlled Trial of Adjuvant Chemotherapy for Gastric Adenocarcinoma: Mitomycin and Doxifluridine Versus Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy and Mitomycin, Doxifluridine, and Cisplatin

This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy of the intraperitoneal chemotherapy with early mitomycin administration and adding cisplatin to prolonged treatment with doxifluridine compared to mitomycin plus doxifluridine in resected advanced gastric cancer.

Read the detailed description

Stomach cancer is the most common cancer in Korea and one of the major health problems worldwide. The most effective treatment for gastric cancer is curative surgical resection of primary tumor. However, a substantial number of patients eventually die of recurrences after curative resection. A number of randomized trials investigating the role of adjuvant chemotherapy have been conducted. However, the efficacy of adjuvant chemotherapy is still controversial and varied between Western and Asian trials. Meta-analysis of Western trials didn't demonstrate the benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy after curative resection. Conversely, some Asian studies have demonstrated the efficacy of adjuvant chemotherapy after curative resection. In a previous study, mitomycin plus tegafur prolonged the survival in resected gastric cancer compared to no treatment.

This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy of the intraperitoneal chemotherapy with early mitomycin administration and adding cisplatin to prolonged treatment with doxifluridine compared to mitomycin plus doxifluridine.

What is being measured

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

  1. Relapse-free Survival

    Measured: 3 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Toxicity Profile (According to NCI CTC Version 2.0)

    Because safety profile in oncology study is evaluated for each toxicity, it is impossible to present the overall patient number. Instead, we presented the number of patients who declined study therapy due to adverse events or patient will.

    Measured: up to 1 year

  2. Overall Survival

    Measured: 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing cisplatin, mitomycin-C, doxifluridine in people with Stomach Cancer, run by Asan Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

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 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 18 Jan 2020. 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 South Korea. 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 6 Sep 2012). 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?

Relapse-free Survival (time frame: 3 years). 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 18 Jan 2020.
