TULA-T-607-006, TULA-TULI-1202, NCT00054249

Objectives

  1. Determine the response rate (complete and partial) in patients with previously treated gastric or gastroesophageal junction carcinoma treated with T900607. (Gastric carcinoma closed to accrual as of 02/04.)
  2. Determine the duration of response and time to disease progression in patients treated with this drug.
  3. Determine the pharmacokinetics of this drug in these patients.
  4. Determine the safety profile of this drug in these patients.

Expected Enrollment

A total of 20-35 patients will be accrued for this study.

Outline

This is an open-label, multicenter study.

Patients receive T900607 IV over 1 hour once weekly. Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed every 3 months.

Note: The purpose of most clinical trials listed in this database is to test new cancer treatments, or new methods of diagnosing, screening, or preventing cancer. Because all potentially harmful side effects are not known before a trial is conducted, dose and schedule modifications may be required for participants if they develop side effects from the treatment or test. The therapy or test described in this clinical trial is intended for use by clinical oncologists in carefully structured settings, and may not prove to be more effective than standard treatment. A responsible investigator associated with this clinical trial should be consulted before using this protocol.
