About this study

The purpose of the study is to compare efficacy and safety of palliative chemotherapy EOX and mDCF regimens in the first-line treatment of patients with advanced HER2-negative gastric and gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma

Read the detailed description

The main purposes: to determine the overall survival (OS) of patients who have locally advanced inoperable or metastatic HER2-negative gastric and gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma treated with first-line EOX (epirubicin + oxaliplatin + capecitabine) or mDCF (docetaxel + cisplatin + leucovorin + 5fluorouracil) palliative chemotherapy regimens

The secondary purposes: to determine safety (as assessed by adverse events according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v4.0) and the progression-free survival (PFS)

Being tested
EOX, mDCF
Keywords
HER2-negative gastric and GEJ adenocarcinoma, first-line palliative chemotherapy, EOX, mDCF, efficacy, safety

Study groups in NCT02445209
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
EOXActive comparatorEpirubicin 50mg/m2 IV on day 1; Oxaliplatin 130mg/m2 IV on day 1; Capecitabine 625mg/m2/day PO BID days 1-21; Cycled every 21 days. Cycled every 3 weeks for a maximum of 8 cycles initially (24 weeks of treatment). Patients who experienced a long term response to the initial 8 cycles of EOX chemotherapy, could be rechallenged with the same regimen.

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall Survival

    time from randomization until death from any cause

    Measured: 3 years

Secondary outcomes (2)

    time from randomization to disease progression or death from any cause

    Measured: 3 years

  2. Safety as assessed by adverse events according to CTCAE v4.0

    occurrence of adverse events according to CTCAE v4.0

    Measured: 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing EOX and mDCF in people with HER2 Negative Gastric Cancer, run by Jagiellonian University.

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 5 inclusion and 7 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 15 May 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

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?

Overall 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 NCT02445209, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 15 May 2015.
