About this study

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether cetuximab (Erbitux®) with cisplatin and capecitabine (Xeloda) as 1st line treatment in the advanced gastric cancer is effective.

Read the detailed description

Gastric cancer remains one of the major causes of cancer deaths around the world, especially in Asia. Previous study of ML17032 has proved that XP(capecitabine plus cisplatin)is effective in advanced gastric cancer, with the overall response rate of 41%, the median PFS of 5.6 month. Recently, the EGFR monoclonal antibody of cetuximab has shown to be successful in treating advanced colorectal cancer with or without chemotherapy. Since EGFR also express in gastric cancer, A single arm, open, multicenter phase II study of cetuximab in combination with cisplatin and capecitabine as first line treatment in patient with advanced gastric cancer.If applicable, the value of mutations in k-ras, b-raf, P53, and EGFR copy number to predict the clinical response to cetuximab in advanced gastric cancer patients will also be accessed.Tumor tissue from study patients will be checked for k-ras, b-raf, and P53 mutation by sequencing and for EGFR copy number by chromogenic in situ hybridization. DNA will be extracted from paraffin-embedded samples.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing cetuximab, cisplatin, capecitabine in people with Gastric Cancer, run by Peking University at 1 site in China.

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 16 inclusion and 13 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 19 May 2015. 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 China. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Tumor response rate (time frame: 1 year). 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 NCT00477711, 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 19 May 2015.
