About this study

Official title: Randomized Phase II Study of FOLFOX Followed by FOLFIRI or Reverse Sequence Treatment in Patients With Advanced or Relapsed Gastric Cancer

FOLFOX* followed by FOLFIRI** or reverse sequence treatment regimen have been used as a standard treatment modality in metastatic colorectal cancer.Oxaliplatin and Irinotecan were used for advanced gastric cancer also. The investigators study was designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of FOLFOX followed by FOLFIRI or reverse sequence treatment regimen as a first-line and second line therapy for patients with relapsed or metastatic gastric cancer similar with colorectal cancer.

*FOLFOX: oxaliplatin followed by leucovorin before bolus 5-FU followed by continuous infusion 5-FU

**FOLFIRI: irinotecan followed by leucovorin before bolus 5-FU followed by continuous infusion 5-FU

Read the detailed description

Gastric cancer remains a major public health issue, and is the fourth most common cancer and the second leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide. In Korea, gastric cancer is the most common cancer in men, the second most common cancer in women, and the second leading cause of cancer death. Despite the development of early gastric cancer detection programs, more than two-thirds of patients diagnosed with gastric cancer will develop unresectable disease. Even patients with operable tumors evidence high rates of both local and distant recurrence. In cases of advanced gastric cancer, the median survival rate is 9 to 10 months. Additionally, the overall 5-year survival rate is less than 25% in Korea and Japan.

Several combination regimens of chemotherapy for gastric cancer have been developed, but the survival advantage appears to be marginal, and no worldwide standard regimens have yet been established. Recently, a meta-analysis has been conducted to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of chemotherapy in patients with advanced gastric cancer. The analysis of chemotherapy versus best supportive care (Hazard Ratio/HR = 0.39, confidence interval (CI) 95% 0.28-0.52) and combination versus single agent, mainly 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU), (HR = 0.83, 95% CI 0.74-0.93) demonstrated significant OS results in favour of chemotherapy and combination chemotherapy. Several chemotherapeutic drugs, including 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), mitomycin C, nitrosoureas, and doxorubicin have evidenced some level of efficacy against advanced gastric cancer. However, the majority of combination chemotherapy regimens for advanced gastric cancer have evidenced overall response rates in a range of 30 to 50% in phase II studies. Furthermore, no new regimens including the use of taxanes or irinotecan have improved either response or survivals in phase II or III trials other than docetaxel, cisplatina and infusional 5-FU (DCF) combination.

Oxaliplatin, a third-generation platinum analogue, is a diaminocyclohexane platinum which forms interstrand DNA adducts, which differ from those formed by cisplatin or carboplatin in terms of their capability to overcome resistance mechanisms. FOLFOX-4 or FOLFOX-6 combination regimen have demonstrated response rate of 38%-50% as a first-line treatment of gastric cancer.

Irinotecan (CPT-11,7-ethyl-10-[4-(1-piperidino)-1-piperidino] is a semi-synthetic plant alkaloid obtained from Camptotheca acuminate of the Nyssaceae family. After conversion to its active metabolite, SN-38, irinotecan acts by inhibiting the eukaryotic enzyme, DNA-topoisomerase I. Single-agent irinotecan has evidenced response rates of 13-23% in cases of advanced gastric cancer. 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) and Topoisomerase I inhibitor-based regimens have demonstrated a response rate of 20-29%, and have been suggested as a first-line treatment for advanced gastric cancer.

FOLFOX followed by FOLFIRI or reverse sequence treatment regimen have been used as a standard treatment modality in metastatic colorectal cancer.

The study was designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of FOLFOX followed by FOLFIRI or reverse sequence treatment regimen as a first-line and second line therapy for patients with relapsed or metastatic gastric cancer similar with colorectal cancer.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing irinotecan, oxaliplatin and oxaliplatin, irinotecan in people with Gastric Cancer, run by Dong-A University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 8 inclusion and 4 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 Nov 2014. 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 South Korea. 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?

Response rate by RECIST (time frame: 6 month after treatment). 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 Nov 2014.
