March 14, 2022 updated by: Jiuda Zhao, Affiliated Hospital of Qinghai University

A Multicenter, Single-arm, Phase Ⅱ Clinical Trial of Apatinib Monotherapy in Elderly Patients With Advanced Gastric Cancer(GC)

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

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

The trial is funded by Chinese Society of Clinical Oncology-Beijing Xisike Clinical Oncology Research Fundation. The trial is prepared to be registered on the clinicaltrail.gov.

Quality assurance plan: Every participant is enrolled or excluded by two practiced investigators. And two investigators participate in all steps of the trail, including the record of the data, which is compared by the investigators. If the data is consistent, the investigators would record the data; if not, the data would be checked and decided by the two investigators. All the steps and data are site monitored and audited by the staff of research and financial department of Affliated Hospital of Qinghai University.

Data check: The investigators compare data entered into the registry against predefined rules for range or consistency with other data fields in the registry.

Source data verification: The investigators assess the accuracy, completeness, or representativeness of registry data by comparing the data to external data sources, including medical records and electronic case report forms.

Data dictionary that contains detailed descriptions of each variable used by the registry, including the source of the variable, coding information, and normal ranges if relevant.

Standard Operating Procedures to address registry operations and analysis activities, such as participants recruitment, data collection, data management, data analysis, reporting for adverse events, and change management. All registry operations would be done according to specific steps, and by two practiced investigators.

Sample size assessment to specify the number of participants or participant years necessary to demonstrate an effect. According to the formula to differ advantages and disadvantages, the investigators need at least 47 participants to take part in the trail. The investigators can recruit about 20 participants every year according to previous experiences, so the investigators should recruit about two years.

Plan for missing data: The investigators would collect as much data as possible, and the investigators exclude the participants who cannot cooperate on recruitment. And the investigators manage situations according to statistical principles where variables are reported as missing, unavailable, non-reported, uninterpretable, or considered missing because of data inconsistency or out-of-range results.

Statistical analysis plan: Statistical analyses would be performed by using SPSS software, version 13.0 (SPSS Inc., IL, USA). Survival analysis would be performed using Kaplan-Meier methodology. Fisher's exact test would be used to analyze the efficacy of treatment. Cox proportional hazards model would be used for multivariate analysis. The level of significance is defined as P < 0.05.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

Enrollment (Actual)

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.
48

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.
