About this study

Gastric cancer is the leading cause of death from a intestinal tract cancer in China.In most cases, the high death rate is due to tumor that has spread beyond the gastric cancer at the time of diagnosis. In China, the standard chemotherapy for the initial treatment of gastric cancer is a combination of a platinum analogue with 5-Fu.With modern surgical interventions and contemporary chemotherapy, most patients attain better clinical remission.The majority of them, however, will eventually have a relapse and die of the disease.

The peritoneal cavity is the principal site of disease in gastric cancer.Although the intensity of intravenous chemotherapy is limited mainly by myelotoxicity, several active drugs can be administered directly into the peritoneal cavity. The rationale for intraperitoneal therapy in gastric cancer is that the peritoneum, the predominant site of tumor, receives sustained exposure to high concentrations of antitumor agents while normal tissues, such as the bone marrow, are relatively spared.

The investigators conducted this trial to investigate the efficacy and safety of intraperitoneal chemotherapy in advanced gastric cancer.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing cisplatin, Fluorouracil in people with Advanced Gastric Cancer, run by Fudan 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 29 inclusion and 7 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Sep 2010. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Jin Li, MD (86(021)64175590 ext. 5108, fudanlijin@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Metastasis in Peritoneum and peritoneal cavity (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 Sep 2010.
