Efficacy Study of Paclitaxel Versus Irinotecan in Patients With Recurrent or Metastatic Gastric Cancer Who Progress Following First-line Therapy

October 19, 2010 updated by: Korean Cancer Study Group

A Randomized, Multicenter Phase III Study to Assess the Efficacy of Paclitaxel Versus Irinotecan in Patients With Recurrent or Metastatic Gastric Cancer Who Progress Following First-line Therapy

The primary objectives of this study is to compare the efficacy of paclitaxel monotherapy with irinotecan monotherapy as defined by progression-free survival (PFS), in all patients with recurrent and metastatic gastric cancer who progress following first line therapy.
