About this study

Official title: The Multi-national Multi-institutional Phase 2 Trial for Conversion Surgery in Stage IV or Unresectable Gastric Cancer

This study aims to identify the safety and the survival benefit of the conversion surgery in stage IV or unresectable gastric cancer. The study designed single-arm phase II trial. All the patients would undergo curative-intent radical gastrectomy after palliative chemotherapy if the tumor responded to the chemotherapy. Primary endpoint was three-year overall survival. Secondary endpoints included short-term postoperative outcomes within 30 days, three-year relapse free survival, and success rate of conversion surgery (rate of R0 resection).

Read the detailed description

The survival rate of patients with stage IV gastric cancer (GC) is very low. Recently, several retrospective studies about conversion surgery have been introduced. The results of the studies showed around 30~40% of three-year survival rate in conversion surgery group. Eight institutions in Catholic University of Korea analyzed 419 stage IV GC patients, and they had divided into four groups: chemotherapy only, chemotherapy followed by gastrectomy, gastrectomy followed by chemotherapy, and best supportive care group. The group of gastrectomy followed by chemotherapy, which is similar with conversion surgery, showed 40% of three-year survival rate. However, the study included only small number of patients who were in conversion surgery group, and had several biases. Thus, we planned multi-national, multi-center phase II trial for conversion surgery in stage IV or unresectable GC.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Conversion surgery in people with Stage IV or Unresectable Gastric Cancer, run by Cho Hyun Park at 1 site in South Korea.

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 4 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Sep 2019.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 South Korea. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

3-year overall survival (time frame: 3 years after the surgery). 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 19 Sep 2019.
