A Study of Apatinib Versus Docetaxol Patients With Advanced Gastric Cancer

November 17, 2015 updated by: Tianshu Liu, Shanghai Zhongshan Hospital

A Randomized, Multicenter Study To Evaluate The Efficacy And Safety Of Apatinib Versus Docetaxel In Patients With Previously Treated Locally Advanced Or Metastatic Gastric Cancer, Including Adenocarcinoma Of The Gastroesophageal Junction

This multicenter, randomized study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of apatinib compared to docetaxel treatment in patients with advanced gastric cancer. At the start of the trial, patients will be randomized to one treatment arm: Arm A: apatinib 850mg qd every 3 weeks; Arm B: docetaxel 60mg/m2 every 3 weeks. Tumor assessment will be done every 8 weeks according to RECIST 1.1. The primary endpoint is progression free survival (PFS).

Conditions

Conditions

Enrollment (Anticipated)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
