About this study

Official title: Phase III Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial of Adjuvant Chemoradiotherapy vs Chemotherapy for Radical Resected Advanced Gastric Carcinoma Concurrent With Lymph Node Metastasis and Lymphovascular Invasion

This Enriched-CRT 2017 trial is a prospective, multicenter trial for adjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CRT) and chemotherapy (CT) in radical resected advanced gastric cancer (GC) patients with lymph node metastasis (LN+) and lymphovascular Invasion (LVI+). The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the 3-year overall survival (OS) of enrolled patients receiving adjuvant chemoradiotherapy compared with those receiving adjuvant chemotherapy. The second purpose is to evaluate 3-year disease free survival (DFS) and determine the safety of CRT compared with CT in the patients enrolled in this study.

Read the detailed description

Gastric cancer is an important health problem, being the fourth most common cancer and the third leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Age standardized mortality rates for gastric cancer are 14.3 per 100 000 in men and 6.9 per 100 000 in women. More than 679 000 new cases and 498,000 deaths occur every year in China.

Local recurrence is considered as the most common way of recurrence for advanced gastric cancer, as well as an important factor for poor prognosis. Radiotherapy is a widely used technique in Western countries, and has been identified to have a significant role in decreasing local recurrence rate in breast cancer, and colon rectal cancer. At this moment, several randomized controlled trials have been conducted to identify the role of radiotherapy in advanced gastric cancer. Although the results from Europe (INT-0116), Dutch (CRITICS), and Korea (ARTIST) did not find that radiotherapy could improve the overall survival of enrolled patients, the sub-group analyses demonstrated that radiotherapy could improve the disease-free survival in patients with lymph node metastasis. We also found that adjuvant chemoradiotherapy could improve the survival of patients with lymph node metastasis or lymphovascular Invasion based on a large cohort study from National Cancer Database.

Therefore, our hypothesis is that advanced gastric cancer patients with lymph node metastasis or lymphovascular invasion are the group entity that could benefit from radiotherapy. At present, a new clinical trial (ARTIST II), aiming at advanced gastric cancer with positive lymph node metastasis, has been launched. China is one of the countries with the highest incidence of gastric cancer, sand nearly 80% of patients are diagnosed with advanced stage. So it's necessary to conduct the clinical research on this issue.

This Enriched-CRT 2017 trial is a prospective, multicenter trial for adjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CRT) and chemotherapy (CT) in radical resected advanced gastric cancer patients with lymph node metastasis and lymphovascular Invasion. The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the 3-year overall survival (OS), and the second purpose is to evaluate 3-year disease free survival (DFS) and determine the safety of CRT compared with CT in the patients enrolled in this study.

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 12 inclusion and 15 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 21 Sep 2018. 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 Xuefei Wang, MD, PhD (86-13917270428, wang.xuefei@zs-hospital.sh.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

3-year Overall Survival (time frame: 3-year). 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 NCT03680261, which also lists 18 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 21 Sep 2018.
