About this study

Official title: Total Neoadjuvant Therapy for the Treatment of Gastroesophageal Junction (GEJ) and Gastric Cancers: A Pilot Trial

This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects studies chemotherapy followed by chemotherapy at the same time as radiation therapy (chemoradiation) before surgery (neoadjuvant) in treating patients with stage gastric (stomach) or gastroesophageal junction cancer . Chemotherapy drugs, such as docetaxel, oxaliplatin , leucovorin, fluorouracil, and capecitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving chemotherapy and chemoradiation before surgery may make the tumor smaller and may reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To evaluate the feasibility of delivering tailored targeted neoadjuvant therapy with chemotherapy followed by chemoradiation and surgery in patients with gastroesophageal junction gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) and gastric cancer.

II. To assess the toxicity of delivering tailored targeted neoadjuvant therapy with chemotherapy followed by chemoradiation and surgery in patients with GEJ and gastric cancer.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To identify the resident microbiota species associated with higher response to the combination therapy and quantify abundance and diversity of favorable bacterial communities over the course of the therapy.

II. To evaluate local control, progression-free survival, and overall survival at 3, 6, 9, 12 and 24 months after treatment with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and chemoradiation.

III. To describe the perfusion and early tumor uptake kinetics of primary tumor targets at baseline, during and following systemic chemotherapy and chemoradiation therapies using 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) digital photon counting positron emission tomography/computed tomography (dPET/CT) approaches.

IV. To evaluate 18F-FDG dPET/CT to evaluate and characterize residual primary tumor following neoadjuvant chemotherapy and initial chemoradiation therapy for subsequent adaptive boost radiation delivery.

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVE :

  1. To explore FDG dPET standardized uptake value (SUV) metrics (e.g., SUVmax, SUVpeak, SUVmax Tumor-to-Liver, SUVpeak Tumor-to-Liver, metabolic tumor volume, etc.) on early dynamic PET perfusion, early tumor FDG uptake and delayed tumor FDG uptake to better predict pathologic response of primary tumor following multimodality therapy and surgical resection.

OUTLINE:

NEOADJUVANT CHEMOTHERAPY: Patients receive FLOT chemotherapy consisting of docetaxel intravenously (IV) , oxaliplatin IV, leucovorin IV, and fluorouracil IV over 24 hours on day 1 or FOLFOX chemotherapy consisting of oxaliplatin IV and leucovorin IV, and fluorouracil IV continuously over 24 hours on days 1 and 2. Treatment repeats every 2 weeks for 4 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

NEOADJUVANT CHEMORADIATION: Within 4 weeks after completing neoadjuvant chemotherapy, patients undergo radiation therapy in 25 fractions over 5 weeks. Patients also receive either fluorouracil IV continuously for 24 hours on days 1-5 or capecitabine orally (PO) twice daily (BID) on days 1-5. Cycles repeat weekly for 5 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

SURGERY: Within 4-8 weeks after neoadjuvant chemoradiation, patients undergo surgical resection according to tumor location and per surgeon expertise.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 24 months.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of patients able to complete all planned procedures and interventions successfully

    Measured: Up to 24 months

  2. Incidence of adverse events

    Measured: Up to within 30 days of discontinuation of protocol treatment

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Resident microbiota species associated with higher response

    Measured: Up to 24 months

  2. Time to progression

    Measured: From date of treatment completion to the event of interest or otherwise censored at last follow-up, assessed up to 12 months

  3. Progression-free survival (PFS)

    Kaplan-Meier analysis will be used to estimate PFS. PFS will include any failure (local, regional, or distant) or death from any cause.

    Measured: From date of treatment completion to the event of interest or otherwise censored at last follow-up, assessed up to 12 months

  4. Overall survival (OS)

    Kaplan-Meier analysis will be used to estimate OS. OS will be death from any cause.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Capecitabine, Docetaxel and Fluorouracil in people with Clinical Stage I Gastric Cancer AJCC v8 and Clinical Stage II Gastric Cancer AJCC v8, run by Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center.

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 3 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 7 Feb 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 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?

Number of patients able to complete all planned procedures and interventions successfully (time frame: Up to 24 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 7 Feb 2025.
