Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this research study is to find out what effects (good and bad) docetaxel, oxaliplatin, and cetuximab have on gastric or GEJ cancer.


Description:

This is a Phase II, open- label, randomized, noncomparative study. Patients will be stratified at randomization by ECOG PS. There is no intent to have equal numbers of patients for each PS (ie, 0, 1, and 2), but rather stratification will be conducted to ensure that the 2 treatment arms are well-balanced for ECOG PS.

Patients will be randomly assigned to either Arm 1 - Taxotere 60 mg/m2 as an intravenous (IV) infusion over 1 hour, followed by Eloxatin 130 mg/m2 IV over 2 hours or Arm 2 - Taxotere 60 mg/m2 as an IV infusion over 1 ho ur, followed by Eloxatin 130mg/m2 IV over 2 hours, followed by ERBITUX 400 mg/m2 IV over 120 minutes (first dose only), all other doses are 250 mg/m2 over 60 minutes. Taxotere and Eloxatin will be given on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle; ERBITUX is given on Days 1, 8, and 15 of each cycle.

Treatment will continue until disease progression or intolerable toxicity. Patients who achieve a CR will receive an additional 2 cycles of treatment. Patients will be limited to 24 months of participation, counted from the date of the first dose of study drug.

- Patient is known to be HIV positive or have a history of hepatitis B or C

- Patient has a history of other malignancy within the last 5 years (except for squamous or basal cell carcinoma of the skin, carcinoma in situ of the cervix , or superficial transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder), which could affect the diagnosis or assessment of current condition.

- Patient is a pregnant or lactating woman

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Progression-free Survival PFS is measured from the date of randomization to the date of first documented disease progression or date of death, whichever comes first. If a patient neither progresses nor dies, this patient will be censored at last contact date Treatment will continue until disease progression or intolerable toxicity No
Secondary Overall Survival OS is measured from the date of randomization to the date of death for a dead patient. If a patient is still alive or is lost to follow up, the patient will be censored at the last contact date. Treatment will continue until disease progression or intolerable toxicity No
Secondary Objective Response Rate (ORR) Complete response (CR) + Partial Response (PR) Treatment will continue until disease progression or intolerable toxicity. No
Secondary Time to Response For patients who achieve a major objective response (CR or PR) the time to response will be assessed as the date of registration to the date of response. Treatment will continue until disease progression or intolerable toxicity No
Secondary Duration of Response The duration of response is measured from the time measurement criteria are first met for CR/PR until the first date that recurrent or progressive disease is objectively documented. Treatment will continue until disease progression or intolerable toxicity No
