Trial summary

Adjuvant chemotherapy followed by curative gastrectomy for Stage II/III gastric cancer has improved disease free time and survival. However, there are still considerable number of patients experience relapse even after adjuvant chemotherapy. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Retrospective Validation for Predictive Biomarkers in Stage II/III Gastric Cancer for Adjuvant Chemotherapy With S-1

Adjuvant chemotherapy followed by curative gastrectomy for Stage II/III gastric cancer has improved disease free time and survival. However, there are still considerable number of patients experience relapse even after adjuvant chemotherapy. In an attempt to select patients who really benefit the postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy, we have identified potential biomarkers (NF-kappaB/JNK) from cell line panel screening followed by immunohistochemical validation. In the present study, we further validate the significance of the biomarkers in a larger set of clinical samples to see if chemotherapeutic response can be determined immediately after surgery.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Gastric Cancer, run by Iwate Medical University at 1 site in Japan.

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 6 inclusion and 3 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 25 Mar 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 Japan. 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?

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?

Relapse free survival (time frame: 3 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01905969, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 25 Mar 2015.
