NCT00134095

Objectives

Primary

  1. Determine the efficacy of neoadjuvant S-1 and irinotecan in patients with locally advanced gastric cancer.

Secondary

  1. Determine the histological response in patients treated with this regimen.
  2. Determine the overall survival of patients treated with this regimen.
  3. Determine the progression-free survival of patients treated with this regimen.
  4. Determine the toxicity of this regimen in these patients.
  5. Determine postoperative morbidity in patients treated with this regimen.
  6. Determine the rate of potentially curative surgery in patients treated with this regimen.

Outline

This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive oral S-1 on days 1-21 and irinotecan IV over 90 minutes on days 1 and 15. Treatment repeats every 28 days for 2 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients then undergo gastrectomy with lymphadenectomy. After surgery, patients resume treatment with S-1 alone as before for 1 year.

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.
