Basic Trial Information

Phase	Type	Status	Age	Sponsor	Protocol IDs
Phase II	Treatment	Closed	18 and over	NCI, Pharmaceutical / Industry	NYU-9822 P-UPJOHN-647597196, NCI-G99-1594, NCT00004103

Objectives

1. Determine the complete and partial response rates and time to treatment failure in patients with advanced gastric cancer treated with neoadjuvant irinotecan and cisplatin followed by surgery then intraperitoneal floxuridine and cisplatin.
2. Determine the rate of potentially curative surgery in patients receiving this regimen.
3. Determine the toxicity and tolerance of this regimen in these patients.

Expected Enrollment

A total of 18-33 patients will be accrued for this study within 2 years.

Outline

Patients receive cisplatin IV and irinotecan IV once a week for 4 weeks. This course is repeated 2 weeks later.

Patients who achieve complete or partial remission or stable disease undergo resection 4 weeks after the last chemotherapy dose.

Patients with no residual macroscopic disease begin adjuvant intraperitoneal (IP) chemotherapy 1 week after surgery. Chemotherapy consists of floxuridine IP over 30 minutes on days 1-3 and days 22-24 and cisplatin IP on days 3 and 24.
