About this study

Official title: Multicenter Randomized Phase II Trial of Docetaxel With/Without VANDETANIB for Advanced Gastroesophageal Cancer

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Vandetanib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. It is not yet known whether docetaxel is more effective when given together with or without vandetanib.

PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying docetaxel to see how well it works compared with docetaxel given together with vandetanib in treating patients with metastatic stomach cancer or gastroesophageal junction cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • To test the hypothesis that the addition of a targeted agent, such as vandetanib, to standard chemotherapy with docetaxel will result in incremental responses in patients with metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer.

Secondary

  • To assess progression-free survival and overall survival of patients treated with this regimen.
  • To study the toxicity profile of this regimen in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to clinical site. Patients are randomized to 1 of 3 treatment arms.

  • Arm I: Patients receive docetaxel IV once every 3 weeks.
  • Arm II: Patients receive docetaxel IV as in arm I and oral vandetanib (100 mg) once daily.
  • Arm III: Patients receive docetaxel IV as in arm I and oral vandetanib (300 mg) once daily.

In all arms, courses repeat every 3 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 2 months for 5 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing docetaxel and vandetanib in people with Gastric Cancer, run by Roswell Park Cancer Institute at 1 site 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 17 inclusion and 32 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Jan 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 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 8 Jan 2015). 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?

Overall 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?
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 8 Jan 2015.
