Monosialotetrahexosylganglioside Sodium Injection for Prevention Neurotoxicity of mFOLFOX 6 in Advanced Gastric Cancer

The Safety and Effect of Monosialotetrahexosylganglioside Sodium Injection for Prevention Neurotoxicity of mFOLFOX6 as First-line Chemotherapy for Advanced Gastric Cancer

For gastric patients of Karnofsky scores between 60-80 scores, mFolfox6 is an option for chemotherapy. Neutropenia and oxaliplatin-induced neurotoxicity are the most common adverse effects which even result in discontinue of chemotherapy, especially for patients suffered from heavily acute neurotoxicity. Monosialotetrahexosylganglioside is a component of membrane of nerve cells. Previous phase II clinical trial showed, it can reduce oxaliplatin-induced neurotoxicity(OIN). But it did not certificated by phase III trial. A phase III trial is needed to investigate the effect and safety of monosialotetrahexosylganglioside Sodium Injection for prevention OIN at gastric cancer.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
The incidence of neurotoxicity including acute neurotoxicity and accumulating neurotoxicity	acute neurotoxicity will be assessed the first day of oxaliplatin at every cycle given;accumulating neurotoxicity will be assessed every two weeks from the second day of first cycle until the patients out of the study. The accumulating neurotoxicity will be assessed every four weeks for 12 months or one week before second-line chemotherapy	From the first day of chemotherapy to 12 months after study or until one week before the patients receive second-line chemotherapy

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Progress Free Survival	From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression	investigators assess the effect of chemotherapy every 6 weeks ,up to 24 months
overall Survival	the patients will be followed one month after progression ,then every 3 months,up to 100 months	From date of randomization until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 100 months
Objective response rate	investigators assess the effect every six weeks and objective response is recorded as complete response,partial response or stable disease according to Recist 1.1	Eevery 6 weeks, up to 24 months
quality of life	investigators use sf-36 to evaluated the quality of life	evaluate 1 week before chemotherapy and every 6 weeks of study. And evaluate within 4 weeks after the patients out of the study
