About this study

Official title: Neoadjuvant Transcatheter Arterial Chemoinfusion and Embolism (TACiE) for Patients With Locally Advanced Adenocarcinoma of Stomach and Gastroesophageal Junction: a Prospective, Phase 2, Single Arm Trial.

This is a prospective, single-center, single-arm, phase 2 trial to evaluate the feasibility and safety of neoadjuvant transcatheter infusion and embolism (TACiE) in patients with locally advanced adenocarcinoma of stomach and gastroesophageal junction.

The TACiE protocol includes four cycles. Transcatheter oxaliplatin and concurrent embolism on day 1 and oral S-1 on day 1-14 will be administrated in the first and third cycles. Intra-venous oxaliplatin on day 1 and oral S-1 on day 1-14 (SOX) will be administrated in the second and fourth cycles.

Read the detailed description

The treatment of advanced gastric cancer has been a significant global health problem. With surgery still the backbone, many clinical trials have shown the benefit of perioperative treatment to gastric cancer patients. The neoadjuvant treatment is one of the most important parts.

Besides chemotherapy and chemoradiotherapy, the report of transcatheter arterial infusion (TAI) or transcatheter arterial embolism (TAE) in gastric cancer is relatively limited, though some case reports have showed its efficacy and safety in advanced gastric cancer. The combination of TAI and TAE (TACiE) may be more perspective in the treatment of gastric cancer. With transarterial infusion chemotherapy, TACiE increases the local concentration of chemotherapeutic agents and reduces adverse reaction. With embolization, TACiE blocks the blood supply and causes the necrosis of tumors, in this way exposing tumor antigen and promoting tumor immunity.

Based on those knowledges, we designed this prospective, single-center, single-arm, phase 2 trial to evaluate the feasibility and safety of neoadjuvant transcatheter infusion and embolism (TACiE) in patients with locally advanced adenocarcinoma of stomach and gastroesophageal junction. The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the pathologic complete response (pCR) rate of TACiE. The second purpose is to evaluate pathologic response rate (pRR), objective Response Rate (ORR), overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) of the patients enrolled in this study.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 16 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 26 May 2022. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Zhaoqing Tang (+8613817125778, tang.zhaoqing@zs-hospital.sh.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Pathological complete response (pCR) rate (time frame: two weeks after surgery). 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 NCT05346874, which also lists 13 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 26 May 2022.
