About this study

Official title: Phase II Study of Nimotuzumab and Concurrent Radiotherapy and Capecitabine for Inoperable Locally Advanced or Recurrent Gastric Cancer

The prognosis of patients with inoperable locally advanced or residual/relapsed gastric cancer is rather poor. Concurrent capecitabine chemoradiotherapy is safe and recommended. Nimotuzumab, an anti-EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor) monoclonal antibody, has shown its antitumor safety and efficiency in many phase I/II studies. Efficiency of combination of these treatment need to be further analyzed.

Read the detailed description

There is no standard treatment for patients with inoperable locally advanced or residual/relapsed gastric cancer. For the former ones, 5-fluorouracil(5-FU) based concurrent chemoradiotherapy is a recommended treatment regimen. Concurrent capecitabine chemoradiotherapy showed similar results. So far, more and more studies have shown that drugs targeting at EGFRs play an important role in antitumor treatment. Nimotuzumab, an anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody, has shown its safety and efficiency in many phase I/II studies. Because of poor survival of patients with inoperable locally advanced or residual/relapsed gastric cancer, the efficiency of nimotuzumab plus concurrent capecitabine chemoradiotherapy need to be further analyzed.

What is being measured

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

  1. progression-free survival

    progression-free survival: the time between tumor regression to progression

    Measured: 1 year progression-free survival

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. overall responses

    the overall responses: complete response (CR)+ partial response(PR)+ stable disease (SD) rates based on World Health Organization(WHO) evaluation system

    Measured: 1 month after treatment

  2. overall survival time

    median overall survival time

    Measured: 1 month after treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing nimotuzumab in people with Gastric Cancer and Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy, run by Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences 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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Sep 2013. 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 Ningning Lu, Doctor (+86 01087788280, ykyzlyy@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

progression-free survival (time frame: 1 year progression-free survival). 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 19 Sep 2013.
