Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy,response rate,time to treatment failure,overall survival,toxicities of Paclitaxel-HDFL regimen in locally advanced/inoperable and recurrent/metastatic gastric cancers. To evaluate the resectability and relapse pattern after potentially curative resection of neoadjuvant Paclitaxel-HDFL regimen
This is a controlled study designed to evaluate the efficacy of UFT on survival compared with surgery alone. Patients will be randomly assigned to receive either surgery alone or surgery followed by UFT within 6 weeks after curative resection. To assess treatment response, data on recurrence and survival will be collected for 5 years after enrollment of the last patient. To evaluate safety, data on adverse events will be collected for 16 months after the start of treatment.
This controlled study is designed to evaluate the efficacy of TS-1 on survival compared with surgery alone. Patients will be randomly assigned to receive either surgery alone or surgery followed by treatment with TS-1 within 45 days after curative resection (curability A or B). To assess the efficacy, data on recurrence and survival will be collected from the time of enrollment until 5 years after surgery. To evaluate safety, data on adverse events will be collected from the time of enrollment until 1 year after surgery.
This study aimed to verify the survival benefit of TS-1 plus CDDP combination chemotherapy compared with the monotherapy by TS-1 alone.
To evaluate the survival benefit of para-aortic lymphadenectomy in potentially curative gastrectomy
To develop effective chemotherapy regimen against gastric cancer with peritoneal metastasis
To evaluate the survival benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy after curative resection with D2 or greater lymph node dissection in T3-4 gastric cancer patients.
The median survival at progression after first-line chemotherapy for metastatic gastric cancer is about 2.5 months. There are no data which a possible benefit of second line therapy. for this reason a trial which investigates a possible benefit or chemotherapy compared to best supportive care as second line treatment is urgently necessary. Irinotecan shows response rates of 20% in the first line therapy with high rates od disease stabilization. There are few trials investigating irinotecan in the second line setting. Response rates of 20% are reported in tis setting. Irinotecan is supplied without costs from the company Pfizer.
To investigate the superiority of a combination of irinotecan and cisplatin and the non-inferiority of S-1 compared to continuous infusion of 5-FU in advanced gastric cancer
Up to date there is no worldwide accepted standard chemotherapy for the 1st-line treatment of advanced or metastatic gastric cancer.A combination of epirubicin, cisplatin and 5-FU (ECF) is the best examined combination and widely used. Recent studies (Thuss-Patience et al, J. Clin. Oncol. 2005) could show that a combination of docetaxel and 5-FU might be similarly effective as ECF. 5-FU and docetaxel +/- cisplatin combinations are investigated by many groups and may be a future reference treatment. Many data suggest that 5-FU infusion can be replaced by oral capecitabine with equal efficacy. As docetaxel/5-FU is probably similarly effective as epirubicin/cisplatin/5-FU and a replacement of 5-FU infusion by capecitabine makes the chemotherapy more comfortable for the patient we investigate in this study a chemotherapy of docetaxel and capecitabine as 1st-line therapy for metastatic or advanced gastric cancer.
