What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Tumour Size at 8 Weeks Were Analyzed for Comparing Relative Efficacy of AZD8931 Plus Paclitaxel With Paclitaxel Alone

    Measured: Baseline and 8 weeks, accessed up to data cut off on 4 December 2012

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Progression-free Survival (PFS) Were Analysed for Comparing Relative Efficacy of AZD8931 Plus Paclitaxel With Paclitaxel Alone

    Time from the date of randomization until the date of objective disease progression (as per RECIST1.1) or the date of death (by any cause in absence of progression).

    Measured: Baseline and every 8 weeks, accessed up to data cut off on 4 December 2012

  2. The Objective Response Rate (ORR) Was Analysed for Investigating the Efficacy of AZD8931 Plus Paclitaxel With Paclitaxel Alone

    The number of subjects with at least one visit response of CR or PR. (Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Progressive disease (PD), A ≥ 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions and an absolute increase of ≥ 5mm; Stable disease (SD), Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD; Not Evaluable (NE), All target lesion measurements are missing or >1/3 target lesion measurements are missing and sum of diameters of non-missing target lesions does not qualify for PD; Not applicable (NA), No target lesions are recorded at baseline)

    Measured: Baseline and 8 weeks, accessed up to data cut off on 4 December 2012

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing AZD8931 and Paclitaxel in people with Metastatic, Gastric or Gastro-oesophageal Junction, Cancer, run by AstraZeneca at 15 sites in 5 countries.

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 5 inclusion and 5 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Sep 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 15 sites in Japan, South Korea, Spain, Germany, Taiwan. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 12 Sep 2014). 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?

Change in Tumour Size at 8 Weeks Were Analyzed for Comparing Relative Efficacy of AZD8931 Plus Paclitaxel With Paclitaxel Alone (time frame: Baseline and 8 weeks, accessed up to data cut off on 4 December 2012). 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 12 Sep 2014.
