NCT00088816

Objectives

Primary

  1. Determine the efficacy and feasibility of neoadjuvant chemotherapy comprising S-1 and cisplatin in patients with stage IV gastric adenocarcinoma.
  2. Determine the overall survival of patients treated with this regimen.

Secondary

  2. Determine tumor response in patients treated with this regimen.
  3. Determine mortality and morbidity related to treatment in these patients.
  4. Determine the toxicity of this regimen in these patients.

Outline

This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive oral S-1 on days 1-21 and cisplatin IV over 2 hours on day 8. Treatment repeats every 35 days for 2 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients then undergo gastrectomy with lymphadenectomy. Patients resume oral S-1 after surgery.

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.
