Catumaxomab for Treatment of Peritoneal Carcinomatosis in Patients With Gastric Adenocarcinomas (CatuNeo)

January 19, 2018 updated by: AIO-Studien-gGmbH

Explorative Trial to Investigate Catumaxomab (Anti-EpCAM x Anti-CD3) for Treatment of Peritoneal Carcinomatosis in Patients With Gastric Adenocarcinomas Prior to Gastrectomy

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of catumaxomab by determination of the rate of macroscopic complete remissions of peritoneal carcinomatosis after treatment with one cycle (four doses) of catumaxomab followed by six cycles of routine neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Rate of macroscopic complete remissions of peritoneal carcinomatosis
Time Frame: Assessment after 14 - 18 weeks after start of treatment
Macroscopic complete response (mCR) rate of the peritoneal lesions, as resulting from the second diagnostic laparoscopy or laparotomy performed after chemotherapy.
Assessment after 14 - 18 weeks after start of treatment

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Surgical resection rate (R0, R1, R2)
Time Frame: Assessment after 14 - 18 weeks after start of treatment
All tumor evaluation is performed according to RECIST
Assessment after 14 - 18 weeks after start of treatment
Overall survival (OS)
Time Frame: Assessment over minimum 16 months up to 3 years
The duration of overall survival (OS) will be determined by measuring the time interval from randomization to the date of death or last observation (censored).
Assessment over minimum 16 months up to 3 years
Disease-free survival (DFS)
Time Frame: Assessment over minimum 16 months up to 3 years
Disease-free survival (DFS) will be defined as the time from surgery, resulting in a R0 finding and macroscopic complete remission of PC, to the time of disease progression or relapse (according to RECIST) or death, or to the date of last assessment without any such event (censored observation). Patients with evidence of disease at surgery are counted as having the event at time = 0.
Assessment over minimum 16 months up to 3 years
Progression-free survival (PFS)
Time Frame: Assessment over minimum 16 months up to 3 years
Progression-free survival (PFS) will be defined as the time from randomization to the time of disease progression or relapse (according to RECIST) or death, or to the date of last assessment without any such event (censored observation).
Assessment over minimum 16 months up to 3 years
Frequency, relationship, and severity of AEs
Time Frame: Assessment over minimum 16 months up to 3 years
Assessment over minimum 16 months up to 3 years
Immunoreaction against tumor in tissue samples
Time Frame: 14 - 18 weeks
blood and tumor tissue from every patient assed at 2time points. the first Laparoscopy (before randomization)and the second Laparoscopy (after chemotherapy)
14 - 18 weeks
Detection of disseminated tumor cells via PCR
Time Frame: 14 - 18 weeks
blood and tumor tissue from every patient assessed at 2time points. the first Laparoscopy (before randomization) and the second Laparoscopy (after chemotherapy)
14 - 18 weeks
