About this study

Official title: Compare S-1 for 9 Months to 1 Year as Adjuvant Chemotherapy in Stage II Gastric Cancer (SMAC)

The study aims to compare the efficacy and safety of S-1 for 9 months versus S-1 for 1 year as adjuvant chemotherapy after D2 resection in patients with gastric cancer.

Hypothesis: For gastric patients after D2 resection, S-1 for 9 months shows non-inferiority to S-1 for 1 year in disease-free survival(DFS), overall survival (OS) and safety.

Read the detailed description

It has been identified that S-1 is an effective adjuvant treatment for East Asian patients who have undergone a D2 dissection for locally advanced gastric cancer(GC) in the Japanese Adjuvant Chemotherapy Trial of TS-1(S-1) for Gastric Cancer (ACTS-GC) trail, And S-1 has become one of the standard therapies to these patients. But it is still unknown whether it would improve equally or even more to overall survival(OS) and disease-free survival(DFS) than S-1 for 1 year compared with S-1 for 9 months. As a result, An further clinical trial is still needed, This trial is designed to investigate the efficacy and safety of S-1 for 9 months versus S-1 for 1 year as adjuvant chemotherapy after D2 resection in patients with gastric cancer.

In this study, patients histologically confirmed stage II and who received D2 resection were randomly assigned to receive S-1 for 9 months or S-1 for 1 year. Patients aged from 18 to 75 years and adequate organ function are randomized 1:1 to S-1 for 9 months and S-1 for 1 year. Both are the 3-week recycle of S-1 (80-120mg per day) for 2 weeks, followed by 1 week of rest. The primary endpoint is 3-year DFS, and the secondary endpoint is 5-year OS and safety. Final study analysis will be conducted at the end of the 5th year after the last patient's enrollment. In summary, we hold the hypothesis that S-1 for 9 months is equally effective, safer, and easier to carry out. If possible, there will be a new adjuvant chemotherapy strategy for gastric cancer patients after D2 resection.

To ensure the quality of the study, two interim analyses will be planned at the half and the completion of the study respectively. The DATA and Safety Monitoring Committee will independently review the interim analysis and stop the study ahead of schedule if necessary. Furthermore, to improve the study progress and quality, the in-house interim monitoring will be performed.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing S-1 for 9 months and S-1 for 1 year in people with Gastric Cancer, run by Fudan University at 6 sites 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 6 inclusion and 9 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 May 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Dazhi Xu, PHD, MD ((+86) 020-87343737, xudzh@sysucc.org.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

DFS (time frame: 3-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 31 May 2019.
