About this study

Official title: Phase II Study of Postoperative Intensity-modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) Combined With Capecitabine for Stage II/III Gastric Cancer Patients

Radiation therapy plus concurrent chemotherapy has been demonstrated a significant improvement in overall and disease-free survival according to Intergroup Trial 0116 in patients with gastric cancer after surgical complete resection. Advantage of application of IMRT has been shown in planning comparison studies for postoperative gastric patients. So the investigators designed the trial to see safety and efficacy of postoperative concurrent chemoradiotherapy of capecitabine combined with IMRT for stage II/II gastric cancer.

Read the detailed description

In Intergroup 0116, only 64% patients in concurrent chemoradiation group completed treatment as planed, but in recently reported ARTIST trial, capecitabine was admitted to concurrent with radiotherapy,patients who completed treatment as planed in concurrent group reach high as 80%. IMRT is an advanced radiotherapy technology which allows high conformal dose distribution to Planing Tumor Volume (PTV) and low dose to organ at risk. The purpose of this study is to evaluate feasibility and efficacy of concurrent IMRT combined with capecitabine for the treatment of gastric cancer patients after D1/2 surgery.

What participants receive

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

  • concurrent chemoradiationRadiation

    postoperative Intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) combined with capecitabine for high risk gastric cancer patients Radiation: concurrent chemoradiotherapy Postoperative radiotherapy regimen: Therapy plan system was formulated by Computed tomographic (CT) simulation. Radiation was delivered with 6MV photons. Radiotherapy consisted of 4500 cGy of radiation at 180 cGy per day, five days per week for five weeks, to the tumor bed, to the margins of resection or the stoma, to the regional nodes. Protection of spinal cord, heart, liver and kidney should be considered.

    Postoperative chemotherapy regimen: capecitabine( 1,600 mg/m2 per day for 5 weeks).

What is being measured

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

  1. feasibility of concurrent IMRT combined with capecitabine for the treatment of gastric cancer patients

    feasibility of concurrent IMRT combined with capecitabine is defined as toxicities (CTC-AE 3.0) and rate of patients complete concurrent chemoradiation according to protocol.

    Measured: 3 months after concurrent chemoradiation

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. efficacy of concurrent IMRT combined with capecitabine for the treatment of gastric cancer patients

    efficacy of concurrent IMRT combined with capecitabine for the treatment of gastric cancer patients in this trial is defined as 3-year overall survival and 3-year relapse free survival.

    Measured: 3 years after concurrent chemoradiation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing concurrent chemoradiation in people with Gastric Cancer, 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 7 inclusion and 9 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 5 Feb 2015. 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 jing jin (8610-87788280, jingjin1025@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

feasibility of concurrent IMRT combined with capecitabine for the treatment of gastric cancer patients (time frame: 3 months after concurrent chemoradiation). 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 5 Feb 2015.
