About this study

Official title: Apatinib as Maintenance Therapy After First Line Treatment in Locally Advanced or Metastatic Gastric Cancer: A Randomized, Parallel, Controlled Study

The study is to evaluate the efficacy of Apatinib in patients with advanced or metastatic adenocarcinoma of stomach or gastroesophageal junction.

Read the detailed description

The study is to investigate the efficacy of Apatinib as maintenance therapy after first fine treatment in patients with advanced or metastatic adenocarcinoma of stomach or gastroesophageal junction through progression-free survival(PFS). Apatinib will be given to patients who have received first-line chemotherapy with an efficacy assessment of stable disease(SD), complete response(CR), or partial response(PR) after 4 cycles. Patients were randomly assigned to 750mg group or 500mg group continually until disease progression or intolerable toxicity or patients withdrawal of consent, and the sample size is 40 individuals.

What participants receive

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

  • apatinibDrug

    Also called ATAN

    Patients will be randomly assigned on a 1:1 basis to treatment with Apatinib 750mg group or Apatinib 500mg group.

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression-free survival (PFS)

    PFS is defined as the length of time from random assignment to disease progression or to death resulting from any cause other than the progress.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. disease control rate(DCR)

    Investigators will assess treatment response according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors 1.1(RECIST1.1)

    Measured: 1year

  2. Objective tumor response rate(ORR)

    ORR is defined as the percentage of subjects having achieved confirmed Complete Response + Partial Response as best overall response according to radiological assessments.

    Measured: 1year

  3. overall survival(OS)

    OS is defined as the length of time from random assignment to death or to last contact.

    Measured: 3year

  4. Quality of life score (QoL)

    QoL is a questionnaire developed to assess the quality of life of cancer patients.

    Measured: 1year

  5. Adverse Events(AEs)

    AEs are evaluated according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v4.0.

    Measured: 1year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing apatinib in people with Gastric Cancer, run by The Affiliated Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Military 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 16 inclusion and 13 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 2 Aug 2016. 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 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 Xu jianming, M.D. (+861066947178, jmxu2003@yahoo.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Progression-free survival (PFS) (time frame: 1 year). 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 2 Aug 2016.
