Filter by:Randomized phase II study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of continuous S-1 plus oxaliplatin versus intermittent S-1 plus oxaliplatin as first-line therapy in patients with recurrent and/or metastastic gastric carcinoma. Within 2 weeks of the end of induction chemotherapy of 6 cycles with S-1 plus oxalipatin, patients who don't experience progression will be randomized to the continuous S-1 plus oxaliplatin arm or the intermittent S-1 plus oxaliplatin arm in a 1:1 ratio.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as fluorouracil, oxaliplatin, and leucovorin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving fluorouracil together with oxaliplatin and leucovorin works in treating patients with metastatic stomach cancer or gastroesophageal junction cancer.
Patients will be treated with irinotecan (150mg/m2) followed by oxaliplatin (85mg/m2)on day 1 and S-1(80mg/m2/day) from day 1 to 14 every 3 weeks. Patients will receive up to a planned treatment of maximum 12 cycles of chemotherapy. Response assessement will be performed every 2 cycles of chemotherapy.
Post-operative radio-chemotherapy decrease the recurrence risk of gastric cancer(N Engl J Med 2001). However the chemotherapy regimen (5 fluorouracil IV bolus) used was toxic and suboptimal. We propose to evaluate in adjuvant situation an active and well tolerate chemotherapy regimen (FOLFIRI)in patients with metastatic gastric cancer. During the radiotherapy we will use 5 FU continue infusion as previously reported. The global design of adjuvant treatment will be four FOLFIRI courses, radiotherapy (45 Gy)with 5FU IV continue then four FOLFIRI.
The purpose of this study is to test the combination of an experimental drug known as MGCD0103 given along with an FDA-approved drug called docetaxel. This is a Phase 1 study that will look at different doses of MGCD0103 given along with docetaxel in order to better understand the effects (positive and negative) of this combination on the subject's body and disease. The study would like to find the following information: - How long MGCD0103 and docetaxel stay in the subject's body; - What effects, good and/or bad, MGCD0103 and docetaxel have on the subject and on his/her cancer; and - If the genetic and chemical make-up of the subject's blood cells and tumor cells play a role in how you respond or do not respond to MGCD0103 and docetaxel.
Combination regimens of 3 active drugs have shown promising activity in treatment of metastatic gastric cancer. Docetaxel combined with cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil (FU) yielded superior overall survival and response rates when compared to standard cisplatin and 5-FU. However, a toxicity profile showed the need for development of less toxic modifications. In a prior phase I trial, the maximum tolerated dose was defined. In this phase II trial, a first evaluation of activity will be performed.
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of weekly administered combination of docetaxel/cisplatin and docetaxel/oxaliplatin in chemotherapy-naïve patients with advanced gastric cancer. The primary endpoint will be the response rate.
Patients with recurrent or metastatic gastric cancer can benefit from palliative chemotherapy. However, over half of patients with metastatic gastric cancer who received chemotherapy failed to achieve response and even in these responders, the duration of responses was as short as a few months. Patients with metastatic gastric cancer who fail to respond or have relapse after first line chemotherapy have a grim prognosis and a standard salvage treatment is not available. We designed this phase II trial to determine the efficacy and safety of irinotecan monotherapy or combination (ILF) as second-line therapy for advanced gastric cancer.
This study is an open-label, single center, and a dose-escalating phase I study to determine the maximal tolerated dose and the recommended dose of S-1 combined with irinotecan/oxaliplatin in patients with unresectable or metastatic colorectal or gastric carcinoma.
A randomized controlled study is conducted on unresectable advanced gastric carcinoma and recurrent gastric carcinoma to compare TS-1 therapy with TS-1 + PSK therapy. The primary endpoint of this study is progression-free survival (PFS), with secondary endpoints of anticancer effect, time to treatment failure (TTF), QOL (FACT-BRM), compliance, adverse drug reactions and immunological factors.
