Docetaxel + Oxaliplatin + S-1 in Potentially Operable Gastric or Gastroesophageal Adenocarcinoma

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2012-05-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

The primary objective of this trial is:

• To determine whether it is feasible in locally advanced gastric or gastroesophageal cancer to administer 3 cycles of Docetaxel, Oxaliplatin and S-1 as a chemotherapy scheme and also to determine what toxicities are involved.

The secondary objective of this trial are to describe:

• The disease free survival at one and two years in that subgroup of patients that has undergone a R0 resection.

• The downstaging after 3 cycles of chemotherapy, pCR in that subgroup of patients that have undergone an R0 resection and progression-free survival and overall survival at one and two years.

• Phase: Phase 2
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: No

Details

• Lead Sponsor: Sanofi
• Treatments: Docetaxel; Oxaliplatin

Criteria

Inclusion criteria:

• Patients with histologically confirmed, newly diagnosed, localized gastric or gastro-esophageal adenocarcinoma, that is considered operable.

• Patients with T3 or T4 carcinoma without (N0) and T2 or T3 or T4 with regional lymph node involvement assessed by EUS, no peritoneal seeding suspected on abdomen-pelvic CT or confirmed by laparoscopy.

• Performance status 0-1 in ECOG scale

• Adequate haematological function and liver and kidney function within 7 days prior to enrollment:

• Absolute neutrophil count > or = 1.5 x 10^9/L

• Platelets > or = 100 x 10^9/L

• Haemoglobin > 10 g/dl

• Calculated creatinine clearance > or = 60 ml/min

Exclusion Criteria

• Previous surgery on primary tumour
