What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • DocetaxelDrug

    Also called Taxotere

    60 mg/m2, 1 gift every 3 weeks, in total 4 gifts

  • cisplatinDrug

    60 mg/m2, one gift every three weeks, in total 4 gift

  • CapecitabineDrug

    Also called Xeloda

    1875 mg/m2 in two equally divided doses day 1-14, repeated every three weeks, in total 4 cycles

  • D1extra-resectionProcedure or surgery

    An extended lymphadenectomy compared to a D1 resection for gastric cancer

What is being measured

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

  1. The number of patients with (serious) adverse events receiving the combination of 4 courses of docetaxel, cisplatin and capecitabine as neoadjuvant chemotherapy and standardized surgery in resectable localized or locally advanced gastric cancer.

    Patients receive every 3 weeks a cycle of chemotherapy, in total 4 cylcles will be given. Surgery will be performed approximately 6 weeks after the last cycle.

    Measured: 18 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The number of patients receiving a D1-extra-resection as protocolized surgery in resectable gastric cancer

    Measured: 30 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Docetaxel, cisplatin and Capecitabine in people with Gastric Cancer, run by Jeroen Bosch Ziekenhuis at 5 sites in Netherlands.

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 13 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 26 Jun 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in Netherlands. 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?

The number of patients with (serious) adverse events receiving the combination of 4 courses of docetaxel, cisplatin and capecitabine as neoadjuvant chemotherapy and standardized surgery in resectable localized or locally advanced gastric cancer. (time frame: 18 weeks). 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 26 Jun 2013.
