About this study

Official title: Phase II Trial of Docetaxel, Oxaliplatin and Capecitabine (TEX) in Advanced or Metastatic Gastric Cancer

Combination regimens of 3 active drugs have shown promising activity in treatment of metastatic gastric cancer. Docetaxel combined with cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil (FU) yielded superior overall survival and response rates when compared to standard cisplatin and 5-FU. However, a toxicity profile showed the need for development of less toxic modifications. In a prior phase I trial, the maximum tolerated dose was defined. In this phase II trial, a first evaluation of activity will be performed.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing docetaxel, oxaliplatin, capecitabine in people with Stomach Neoplasms, run by Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg at 10 sites in Germany.

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 24 inclusion and 17 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 26 Jun 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites in Germany. 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?

Progression-free survival rate (time frame: at 6 months). 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 Jun 2013.
