Trial summary

Gastric cancer remains a major health issue and a leading cause of cancer death worldwide, although the prevalence and mortality of the disease have gradually decreased. The investigators have very few options for patients with advanced disease. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: "An Observational Study to Determine the Incidence of of Her 2 Positivity in 100 Consecutive Gastric Cancers"

Gastric cancer remains a major health issue and a leading cause of cancer death worldwide, although the prevalence and mortality of the disease have gradually decreased. The investigators have very few options for patients with advanced disease.

The trastuzumab for Gastric Cancer (ToGA) trial, a pivotal randomized clinical trial of patients with HER-2 positive advanced, mostly metastatic, gastric cancer, proved the efficacy of trastuzumab (anti-Her 2 therapy) in combination with chemotherapy. The median overall survival was significantly prolonged in the trastuzumab-containing arm (13.8 vs. 11.1 months; HR 0.74; p=0.0046) without unexpected toxicity including cardiac events. The survival benefit was most pronounced in the subgroup of high HER-2/neu protein overexpression (median overall survival of 16 months). Only 20% of the patients screened and subsequently enrolled for this study were found to be HER2-positive when utilizing both immunohistochemistry and FISH. Her2 testing is recommended for all patients with advanced gastric cancers and type III oesophageal adenocarcinomas.

Data on Indian patients is lacking. Hence, the investigators plan to test for Her 2 in 100 patients with IHC and FISH in 2+ and 3+ patients.

Read the detailed description
  1. Study Objective/ Aims Aim: - Rate of Her 2 positivity in 100 consecutive gastric cancer patients Primary Objective Test for Her 2 in 100 consecutive gastric cancer patients Immuno-histochemistry will be done in all patients. Patients with 2 and 3+ IHC will also have FISH done.
  2. Study Design\& Methodology Patients will have the Her2 tested in 100 consecutive gastric cancer samples by immunohistochemistry and patients with 2+ and 3+ result will also have FISH done. This will not affect patient management
  3. Overview of Data collection Dr.Bhawna Sirohi the principal investigators will maintain and supervise data collection and maintaining records. The patient will be de-identified.
  4. Selection of Study Population

Inclusion Criteria:

100 consecutive patients with gastric cancer who have a pathology specimen at TMH

Exclusion Criteria:

If histopathology blocks were not available

  1. Sample size 100 to be enrolled. Patient consent waiver applied for as this does not affect patient care 6) Statistical Analysis It is an Observational study so Results will be given as %age of total population.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Gastric Cancer, run by Tata Memorial Hospital at 1 site in India.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 27 Apr 2017. 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 India. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early. Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Incidence of Her2 testing in Gastric cancer (time frame: 6 month). 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 27 Apr 2017.
