About this study

Official title: Phase III Randomized Trial of Taxotere/Cisplatin Followed by FOLFIRI or the Reverse Sequence in Unresectable Gastric Cancer

To assess the optimal sequence of the palliative chemotherapy regimen (DP --> FOLFIRI vs FOLFIRI --> DP) in metastatic gastric cancer patients.

Read the detailed description

Gastric cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death worldwide and is the most common malignancy in Korea. Metastatic gastric cancer remains a therapeutic challenge for medical oncologists due to poor prognosis. A recent phase III trial comparing docetaxel-cisplatin-5-FU (DCF) to the reference arm of cisplatin-5-FU (CF) showed a significant superiority of DCF in terms of survival, time-to-progression, and response rate. However, because DCF regimen was associated with high incidence of toxicities, the regimen has not yet been widely accepted as the standard first-line chemotherapy for gastric cancer patients. Thus, the optimum front-line chemotherapy regimen should be extensively investigated in these patients to improve survival.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing DP and FOLFIRI in people with Gastric Cancer and Metastases, run by Samsung 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 7 inclusion and 6 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 12 Jan 2012. 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?

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?

Second progress-free survival (time frame: 2years). 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 12 Jan 2012.
