The aim of this study is to evaluate survival benefit of a neoadjuvant chemotherapy regimen in patient with resectable locally advanced gastric cancer in comparison with surgery alone.
The aim of this study is to evaluate efficacy and safety of Capecitabine/Cisplatin for gastric cancer patients who relapsed after adjuvant chemotherapy by S-1.
The aim of this study is to elucidate the efficacy and safety of XP and SP for first-line treatment of Advanced Gastric Cancer.
Background: It is estimated that in the Netherlands each year approximately 900 patients with gastric cancer or adenocarcinoma of the gastro-oesophageal junction are candidates for chemotherapy. Randomized studies comparing chemotherapy versus best supportive care have shown that survival and quality of life are prolonged with chemotherapy. However, no chemotherapy regimen is clearly superior with regard to prolongation of survival. Therefore, tolerability of treatment and ease of administration (outpatient compared to inpatient) are important considerations for the development of novel treatment schedules. Study design: This is an open-label, multicentre, phase II trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of bevacizumab in combination with docetaxel, oxaliplatin and capecitabine chemotherapy (B-DOC) as first-line therapy in patients with inoperable locally advanced or recurrent and/or metastatic adenocarcinoma of the stomach or gastro-oesophageal junction. In case of HER2 positive inoperable locally advanced or recurrent and/or metastatic adenocarcinoma of the stomach or gastro-oesophageal junction trastuzumab is added to this regimen (B-DOCT). Study Endpoints: Primary endpoint Progression free survival defined as the time measured from B-DOCT study, Protocol version 3.0 dated January 18, 2011 Page 5 / 60 the day of registration to first progression or death. Secondary endpoints Toxicity Overall survival, defined as the time from registration to death Response rate defined as the percentage of partial and complete responses Duration of response defined as time from response to first progression Translational research on pharmacogenomic and biological factors that may predict treatment response.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the association between UGT1A1 polymorphisms and neutropenia and diarrhea in Korean patients with advanced colorectal or gastric cancer treated with FOLFIRI regimen.
The investigators hypothesis is that the combination of TS-ONE with cisplatin and trastuzumab is safe and as effective as combination treatment for HER2 positive gastric cancer.
Active vaccination with tumor specific antigens and VEGFR1 HLA-A24 epitopes can improve survival of patients with advanced Gastric Cancer.
The rationale of the NEO-FLOT-trial consists of an intensification of the neoadjuvant treatment. This strategy is based upon the clear advantage of perioperative treatment and the fact, that in former trials adjuvant treatment could only be given in half of the patients (Cunningham 2006, Boige 2007). In this study neoadjuvant chemotherapy is applied during a period of 12 weeks with an interim staging after 6 weeks.Due to the favourable efficacy and toxicity data the FLOT-regimen was chosen for the neoadjuvant treatment consisting of oxaliplatin, docetaxel, folinic acid and 5-Fluorouracil (Al-Batran 2008). Postoperative treatment according to the results of the MAGIC trail is not part of the trail and is given at the responsibility of the participating centres.
Gastric cancer is the fourth most common type of cancer and the second leading cause of cancer-related death in the world. In China, more than 390,000 new patients are diagnosed with gastric cancer and more than 300,000 patients are killed by the terrible disease annually. Although gastric cancer has a multifactorial etiology, infection with H. pylori is highly associated with gastric carcinogenesis. Therefore, eradication of H. pylori infection appears to reduce the risk of gastric cancer. However, several recent controlled interventional trials by H. pylori eradication to prevent gastric cancer have yielded disappointing results. The exact effect of H.pylori eradication on prevention of gastric cancer is unclear up to now. To clarify this problem, the investigators conducted a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, population-based study to determine whether H pylori eradication would reduce the incidence of gastric cancer in a high-risk population in China.
