About this study

Official title: Phase II Trial of Raltitrexed and Paclitaxel as Second-line Chemotherapy for Patients With Unresectable or Metastatic Gastric or Gastroesophageal Junction Adenocarcinoma

This is a single-arm clinical trial.The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Raltitrexed and Paclitaxel as second-line chemotherapy for patients with unresectable or metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma .The primary endpoint of this study is objective response rate.The secondary endpoint of this study is safety,progression-free survival and overall survival.

Read the detailed description

Raltitrexed is an antifolate thymidylate synthase inhibitor that has shown efficacy and good safety profile in the treatment of colorectal cancer. To our knowledge, there has been no study published with the Raltitrexed and Paclitaxel regimen as second-line chemotherapy for patients with unresectable or metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma.The aim of our study was to evaluate the efficacy, safety and survival of this regimen in patients with unresectable or metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Raltitrexed and Paclitaxel in people with Gastric Cancer and Gastroesophageal Junction Adenocarcinoma, 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 7 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 1 Feb 2021. 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?

Objective Response Rate (time frame: 18-26 months). 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 1 Feb 2021.
