Infusional Fluorouracil and Weekly Docetaxel for Gastric Cancer With Bone Marrow Involvement and DIC

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Gastric Cancer
Bone Marrow Metastasis
Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT04547153
Lead Sponsor
Sixth Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University
Brief Summary

A distinctive subtype of gastric adenocarcinoma with extensive bone marrow metastasis and DIC has been described. Few patients have been treated properly due to the lack of standard care. We designed this phase II study to evaluate a dose-dense regimen for this kind of highly aggressive gastric cancer (HAGC).

Detailed Description

5-fluorouracil 200mg/square metre/day continuously venous infusion on days 1-21; Docetaxel 25mg/square metre, on days 1, 8 and 15; This regimen repeats every 4 weeks.
