Trastuzumab Plus Docetaxel and Capecitabine For First Line Treatment of Her2-Positive Advanced Gastric Cancer

November 17, 2016 updated by: Ruihua Xu, Sun Yat-sen University

Phase II Study of Trastuzumab in Combination With Chemotherapy (Docetaxel Plus Capecitabine) For First Line Treatment of Her2-Positive Advanced Gastric or Gastro-Esophageal Junction Cancer

Patients with inoperable, locally advanced or recurrent and/or HER2-positive metastatic gastric or gastro-esophageal junction cancer, with no prior treatment for metastatic disease are to be recruited in the study. In the current study, the efficacy and safety of Trastuzumab in combination with Capecitabine/Docetaxel will be evaluated in Chinese patients with HER2 positive advanced or recurrent gastric cancer.60 patients could provide adequate precision rather than controlling type I&II error. Assuming the target PFS is 6.7m, 60 patients will give 90% CI of (5.5, 8.4). Considering the 5% drop out rate, 65 patients will be enrolled.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This is a phase II, multi-center, open label, single arm, interventional study. Patients with HER2-positive metastatic gastric or gastro-esophageal junction adenocarcinoma who have not received prior treatment for metastatic disease will be treated with trastuzumab(8 mg/kg loading dose followed by 6 mg/kg every 3 weeks ),Capecitabine(2000mg/m2d, d1-14,every 3 weeks) and Docetaxel (60mg/m2 every 3 weeks for 6 cycles).All patients will continue to receive trastuzumab and Capecitabine until either disease progression, occurrence of unacceptable toxicity or withdrawal from the study for another reason.Primary endpoints is PFS and secondary endpoints are ORR, OS and Safety.Recruitment period:24 months;PFS follow-up period: 80% PFS events;OS follow-up period: 18 months or 80% OS events, whichever occurs first.

Phase

Phase
