Trial summary

For gastric patients of Karnofsky scores between 60-80 scores, mFolfox6 is an option for chemotherapy. Neutropenia and oxaliplatin-induced neurotoxicity are the most common adverse effects which even result in discontinue of chemotherapy, especially for patients suffered from heavily acute neurotoxicity.

About this study

Official title: The Safety and Effect of Monosialotetrahexosylganglioside Sodium Injection for Prevention Neurotoxicity of mFOLFOX6 as First-line Chemotherapy for Advanced Gastric Cancer

For gastric patients of Karnofsky scores between 60-80 scores, mFolfox6 is an option for chemotherapy. Neutropenia and oxaliplatin-induced neurotoxicity are the most common adverse effects which even result in discontinue of chemotherapy, especially for patients suffered from heavily acute neurotoxicity. Monosialotetrahexosylganglioside is a component of membrane of nerve cells. Previous phase II clinical trial showed, it can reduce oxaliplatin-induced neurotoxicity(OIN). But it did not certificated by phase III trial. A phase III trial is needed to investigate the effect and safety of monosialotetrahexosylganglioside Sodium Injection for prevention OIN at gastric cancer.

Read the detailed description

it is a placebo controlled phase III trial. Investigators plan to enroll 240 patients with 1:1 to A arm and B arm

What is being measured

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

  1. The incidence of neurotoxicity including acute neurotoxicity and accumulating neurotoxicity

    acute neurotoxicity will be assessed the first day of oxaliplatin at every cycle given;accumulating neurotoxicity will be assessed every two weeks from the second day of first cycle until the patients out of the study. The accumulating neurotoxicity will be assessed every four weeks for 12 months or one week before second-line chemotherapy

    Measured: From the first day of chemotherapy to 12 months after study or until one week before the patients receive second-line chemotherapy

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Objective response rate

    investigators assess the effect every six weeks and objective response is recorded as complete response,partial response or stable disease according to Recist 1.1

    Measured: Eevery 6 weeks, up to 24 months

  2. Progress Free Survival

    From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression

    Measured: investigators assess the effect of chemotherapy every 6 weeks ,up to 24 months

  3. overall Survival

    the patients will be followed one month after progression ,then every 3 months,up to 100 months

    Measured: From date of randomization until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 100 months

  4. quality of life

    investigators use sf-36 to evaluated the quality of life

    Measured: evaluate 1 week before chemotherapy and every 6 weeks of study. And evaluate within 4 weeks after the patients out of the study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing monosialotetrahexosylganglioside Sodium in people with Gastric Cancer, run by Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital at 2 sites 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 9 inclusion and 6 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 28 Sep 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 YI Ba, MD PHD (+86 02223340123-1051, zhobualing123@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The incidence of neurotoxicity including acute neurotoxicity and accumulating neurotoxicity (time frame: From the first day of chemotherapy to 12 months after study or until one week before the patients receive second-line chemotherapy). 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 28 Sep 2015.
