Active clinical trials for "Stomach Neoplasms"

Docetaxel was the first drug that showed survival benefits when added to the CF regimen, but it was very toxic. Docetaxel is also has a synergistic anti-cancer effect with S-1, in phase I/II studies. The use of a docetaxel plus S-1 combination as first-line chemotherapy for advanced gastric cancer achieved response rates of 46~56% and a median survival time of 14.0~14.3 months. Based upon this background, the aim of this study is to detect a significant increase in 3 year DFS of disease for the test group (DS) relative to the Control group (SP).

Although there has been some progress in chemotherapy for metastatic gastric cancer, no standard regimen of adjuvant chemotherapy is available, and many clinical trials have produced contradictory results. The majority of randomized clinical trials studying adjuvant chemotherapy in gastric cancer have been underpowered, involved low-volume centers, or used ineffective chemotherapy regimens. As a result, well-designed multicenter trials are still needed. The ACTS-GC trial, which demonstrated the efficacy of S-1 for stage II-III gastric cancer patients who underwent curative resection with extended lymph-node dissection (D2), may be valid in countries where D2 surgery is considered the standard of care. S-1 improved the 3-year overall survival from 70.1% for surgery alone to 80.1%. However, 3-year overall survival in stage IIIA and stage IIIB patients receiving S-1 were 77.4% and 63.4%, respectively, which are less satisfactory compared to the rate for stage II (90.7%). Based on the unsatisfactory outcome among later stage patients in the ACTS-GC adjuvant trial, further investigation is needed for more effective postoperative treatment of patients with stage IIIB and IV (M0) cancer. Therefore, the researchers investigated the efficacy and safety of S-1 versus S-1 plus cisplatin as adjuvant chemotherapy in patient with curatively resected gastric adenocarcinoma.

This is a randomized, multicenter, controlled trial to prove efficacy of S-1 and Oxaliplatin as Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy for Advanced Gastric Cancer Patients who undergo D2 gastrectomy. The primary endpoint is three-year free disease and the second primary includes five-year overall survival, safety and R0 resection rate.

The aim of this study is to clarify safety of robot assisted distal gastrectomy with lymph node dissection in patients with stage Ia early gastric cancer.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of s-1 plus cisplatin versus 5-FU plus cisplatin as first-line therapy in the treatment of patients with advanced gastric cancer.

The purpose of this study is to assess efficacy and safety of docetaxel alone, docetaxel plus cisplatin, and docetaxel plus S-1 in patients with metastatic gastric cancer after failing 1st line chemotherapy with cisplatin plus S-1 or capecitabine

Randomized phase II study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of continuous S-1 plus oxaliplatin versus intermittent S-1 plus oxaliplatin as first-line therapy in patients with recurrent and/or metastastic gastric carcinoma. Within 2 weeks of the end of induction chemotherapy of 6 cycles with S-1 plus oxalipatin, patients who don't experience progression will be randomized to the continuous S-1 plus oxaliplatin arm or the intermittent S-1 plus oxaliplatin arm in a 1:1 ratio.

This study is an open-label, single center, and a single arm phase II study to evaluate the clinical response and safety of perioperative S-1 plus docetaxel. Perioperative chemotherapy is composed of 3 cycles of preoperative S-1/docetaxel and 3 cycles of postoperative S-1/docetaxel.Chemotherapy regimen: S-1 80 mg/m2/day every 12-h p.o. on days 1(evening)-15 (morning) Docetaxel 35 mg/m2 mixed in d5w 250 ml iv over 60-min on days 1 and 8

This study is to investigate the effect of gastrectomy on remission of type 2 diabetes in patients with gastric cancer and type 2 diabetes, to investigate the mechanism of blood glucose alteration and intestinal hormonal signaling by the reconstruction methods, and to evaluate the applicability and efficacy of Roux-en-Y gastrojejunostomy after gastrectomy in gastric cancer patients with diabetes.

The main objectives of this study are to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommend dose (RD) of Oraxol® in Phase I and to determine the objective response rate of Oraxol® in Phase II.
