Official title: A Prospective, Randomized Phase II Trial of Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy Compared With Concomitant Boost Intensity-Modulated Radiotherapy With S-1 in Locally Advanced Gastric Adenocarcinoma

This prospective, randomized phase II study is designed to evaluate weather neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy is superior to neoadjuvant chemotherapy with both followed by surgery and postoperative chemotherapy for locally advanced gastric adenocarcinoma.

Being tested
SIB-IMRT, S-1, Surgery, SOX
Medical subject headings
Stomach Neoplasms

What participants receive

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

  • SIB-IMRTRadiation

    45.1Gy and 40.04Gy in 22 fractions using intensity-modulated radiotherapy with a simultaneous integrated boost (SIB-IMRT) to primary tumor

  • S-1Drug

    Also called TS-1

    40mg/m2, orally twice daily every weekday concurrently with radiotherapy treatment

  • SurgeryProcedure or surgery

    Surgery, preferred D2 lymphadenectomy

  • SOXDrug

    Also called TS-1; Oxaliplatin for injection

    SOX (S-1: 40~60mg, orally twice daily on days 1 to 14, oxaliplatin 130mg/m2 intravenously on day 1, 21 days per cycle)

Study groups in NCT02301481
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Neoadjuvant Chemoradiotherapy (NCRT)ExperimentalNCRT arm receives intensity-modulated radiotherapy with a simultaneous integrated boost (SIB-IMRT) (45.1Gy and 40.04Gy in 22 fractions) concurrently with oral S-1(40mg/m2, orally twice daily every weekday) followed by surgery and four to six cycles of SOX at the same dosage with NCT arm.
Receives: Radiation: SIB-IMRT; Drug: S-1; Procedure: Surgery; Drug: SOX
Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy (NCT)Active comparatorNCT arm consists of neoadjuvant three cycles of SOX(S-1: 40~60mg, orally twice daily on days 1 to 14, oxaliplatin 130mg/m2 intravenously on day 1, 21 days per cycle followed by radical surgery and another postoperative three cycles of SOX.
Receives: Procedure: Surgery; Drug: SOX

What is being measured

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

  1. R0 resection rate

    The surgical procedure was total or subtotal gastrectomy with recommended D2 lymphadenectomy 4-6 weeks after neoadjuvant therapy.

    Measured: 2-3 months

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Pathological response rate

    Pathological response were classified into three grades.Grade I signifies that there is little shrinkage in the tumor; only mild regression in the tumor cells is observed under themicroscope. Grade II shows gross reduction in size of the tumor and marked regression in the cancer cells microscopically, yet viable nests of cancer tissue are still visible. Grade III implies complete or almost total resolution of the tumor on exploration, and disappearance of the tumor tissue microscopically; only remnants of degenerated cancer cells can be seen (so-called ghost cancer cells).

    Measured: 2-3 months

  2. Tumor down-staging

    Down-staging was considered as any stage reduction between clinical and pathologic stage.

    Measured: 2-3 months

  3. Postoperative complications

    During hospital stay and within the first 30 days after completion of surgery.

    Measured: 2-3 months

  4. Acute chemotherapy/Chemoradiotherapy toxicities

    chemotherapy toxicities are evaluated by NCI-CTC version 4.0 and radiotherapy toxicities are graded using the RTOG/EORTC Radiation Morbidity Scoring Schema.

    Measured: 6-8 months

  5. Distant metastasis free survival

    Measured: 3 years

  6. Locoregional recurrence free survival

    Measured: 3 years

  7. Overall survival

    Measured: 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing SIB-IMRT, S-1 and Surgery in people with Stomach Neoplasms and Neoadjuvant Therapy, 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 6 inclusion and 8 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Oct 2019. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

R0 resection rate (time frame: 2-3 months). 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 NCT02301481, 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 16 Oct 2019.
