Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult
  • Only untreated patients with histologically documented gastric/GEJ adenocarcinoma, clinical American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) stage grouping (11) IB-IV (Mo) by CT scan and laparoscopy/endoscopic ultrasound, are eligible. Excluded are patients in need of urgent surgery for gastro-intestinal obstruction, perforation or hemorrhage.
  • Both men and women >= 18 years of age with Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-2, members of any ethnic group and minorities.
  • Patients without another invasive malignancy, with adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer, free for 5 years or more of in-situ cervix cancer or other in-situ cancer.
  • Since immune deficiency increases the risk of terminal infections when aggravated by bone marrow suppressive therapy, patients must be without active or uncontrolled infection including HIV.
  • Patients without psychiatric disorders that may interfere with their consent and/or with protocol follow-up.
  • An adequate bone-marrow reserve (absolute neutrophil count >= 1,500/ mmL, thrombocytes >= 100,000 mmL, hemoglobin >= 9 gm/dL).
  • Preserved liver and renal function (total serum bilirubin <2 mg/dL, SGOT/SGPT =< 3x the upper limit of normal, alkaline phosphatase =< 3x the upper limit of normal, blood urea nitrogen (BUN) =< 30 mg/dL, serum creatinine concentration <1.5 mg/dL and creatinine clearance >= 50 mL/min) are required. Creatinine clearance should be normalized for 1.73 M^2 BSA. The prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time, and thrombin time should be within the range of normal values.
  • Since chemotherapeutic agents to be used are known or suspected to be teratogenic or with other adverse effects, women must not be pregnant or breast-feeding. All females of childbearing potential must have a blood test or urine study within 2 weeks prior to registration to rule out pregnancy. All patients of reproductive age may not participate unless they agree to use an effective medically acceptable contraceptive method.
  • Patients without diagnosed Gilbert's disease and bilirubin level >= 2.0 mg/dL, as these patients may have excessive CPT-11 toxicity.
  • No prior severe reaction to fluoropyrimidine therapy or known hypersensitivity to 5-fluorouracil. Capecitabine (Xeloda) is contraindicated in patients with severe renal impairment, i.e., creatinine clearance below 30 mL/min, determined by Cockcroft-Gault equation shown on page 15 under (i) Renal impairment. In patients with moderate renal impairment (creatinine clearance 30-50 mL/min), which develops during the course of adjuvant treatment with Capecitabine, the drug is decreased to 75% of the starting dose.
  • Patients should be without any severe concurrent disease, such as cardiac condition not responding to medication, myocardial infarction within the last 12 months, active infection or uncontrolled pulmonary disease, or any other disease which in judgment of the investigator would make the patient inappropriate for entry into this study.
  • Patients who signed written informed consent.

About this study

Official title: A Randomized Phase-II Study of Patients With Locally Advanced Gastric of Gastro-Esophageal Adenocarcinoma Treated With Induction Irinotecan/Cisplatin, Potentially Curative Surgery With or Without Adjuvant Intraperitoneal Floxuridine, Followed by Prolonged Administration of Capecitabine

This study is to determine whether intraperitoneal (IP) Floxuridine is effective in the patients with advanced stomach or gastro-esophageal junction cancers in the treatment consisting of pre- and post-surgery chemotherapies.

Read the detailed description

A previous Phase-II trial conducted by the same principle investigator(s), utilizing preoperative chemotherapy and intraperitoneal consolidation, was conducted in patients with locally advanced, potentially resectable gastric cancer or cancer of the gastro-esophageal junction (GEJ), both staged as T3N0, T4N0, any TN1 or TN2 disease. The data suggest that for patients with locally advanced gastric or GEJ cancer, systemic induction therapy, curative surgery with high Ro resection rates, and IP adjuvant therapy, has acceptable toxicity and encouraging survival outcome. The Medical Research Council Adjuvant Gastric Infusional Chemotherapy (MAGIC) trial has also shown that perioperative chemotherapy - chemotherapy given both before and after surgery - can provide a significant survival benefit.

The investigators hypothesize that adjuvant intraperitoneal salvage of cancer micrometastatic residues after surgery contributes to disease-free survival. The goal of this trial is to determine whether IP Floxuridine, added to adjuvant postoperative chemotherapy, prolongs patient's survival. This will be tested during the randomized open-label trial.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Patients With One-year Recurrence-free Survival

    This is defined as the patients who did not have recurrence of cancer at 1 year since the start of induction chemotherapy.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Overall Survival Rate; Toxicity; Evaluation of Sites of Relapse of Failing Patients

    Secondary outcome measure was not analyzed as study was terminated

    Measured: every 4 months for the first 2 years, every 6 months for years 3 and 4, then every 12 months for up to 10 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Irinotecan, Cisplatin and Surgery in people with Gastric Cancer and Gastric Adenocarcinoma, run by NYU Langone Health at 3 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?

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 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 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 10 Dec 2012). 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?

Number of Patients With One-year Recurrence-free Survival (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 2018.
