Who may be able to join

  • Histologically or cytologically documented recurrent, metastatic or unresectable gastroesophageal (Siewert type I, II, III) or gastric adenocarcinoma with measurable or assessable non-measurable disease (RECIST criteria).

  • Patients on full-dose anticoagulants must be on a stable dose of warfarin and have an in-range INR or be on a stable dose of low molecular weight heparin.

Who cannot join

  • prior treatment for recurrent, metastatic, or unresectable gastroesophageal or gastric adenocarcinoma

  • significant cardiac disease, including the following: unstable angina, New York Heart Association class II-IV congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction within six months prior to study enrollment.
  • history of hypertensive crisis or hypertensive encephalopathy
  • abdominal fistula, gastrointestinal bleeding, or intra-abdominal abscess within the 6 months prior to study enrollment.
  • core biopsy or other minor surgical procedure, excluding placement of a vascular access device, within 7 days prior to study enrollment.
  • major surgical procedure, open biopsy, or significant traumatic injury within 28 days prior to study enrollment or anticipation of need for major surgical procedure during the course of the study.
  • recent arterial thrombotic events including stroke or TIA within 6 months prior to study enrollment.

About this study

Official title: Phase II Study of FOLFOX With Bevacizumab (Avastin(TM)) in Metastatic or Unresectable Gastroesophageal and Gastric Cancer

This is a Phase II open-label study to determine the anti-tumor efficacy and tolerability of FOLFOX in combination with bevacizumab (Avastin(TM))in patients with metastatic or unresectable gastroesophageal and gastric adenocarcinoma. Our primary objective is to determine the time to progression in patients treated with FOLFOX in combination with bevacizumab.

Being tested
FOLFOX, bevacizumab
Medical subject headings
Stomach Neoplasms

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • FOLFOXDrug

    Also called Eloxatin, Fluorouracil

    Oxaliplatin 85/mg/m2 IV infused over two hours followed by Leucovorin 400 mg/m2 IV over 2 hours, followed by 5-FU 400 mg/m2 IV bolus, then 2400 mg/m2 continuous IV infusion over 46-48 hours

  • bevacizumabDrug

    Also called Avastin

    bevacizumab will be used at a dose of 10 mg/kg administered every 2 weeks on day one of FOLFOX chemotherapy

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression Free Survival

    Measured: Upon completion of study, up to 3 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Overall Tumor Response Rate by RECIST Criteria

    Per response evaulation criteria in solid tumors criteria (RECIST) for target lesions assessed by FDG-PET Scans: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR.", or similar definition that is accurate and appropriate.

    Measured: Upon completion of study

  2. Overall Survival

    Measured: Upon completion of study, up to 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing FOLFOX and bevacizumab in people with Gastroesophageal Cancer and Gastric Cancer, run by Yale University at 2 sites in United States.

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 14 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 4 Feb 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 14 Jul 2014). 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?

Progression Free Survival (time frame: Upon completion of study, up to 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 4 Feb 2015.
