Study With Cabazitaxel in Previously Treated Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Gastric Cancer

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Gastric Cancer
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT01956149
Lead Sponsor
Institut für Klinische Krebsforschung IKF GmbH at Krankenhaus Nordwest
Brief Summary

Single-arm study to determine disease control rate in second- (or later) line treatment with cabazitaxel after the failure of palliative primary treatment.

Detailed Description

65 patients with advanced or metastatic adenocarcinoma of the oesophagogastric junction and stomach will be treated with 20mg/m2 Cabazitaxel for a maximum of 6 cycles. Main objective of the study is the Disease Control Rate (DCR) with Cabazitaxel.

Recruitment & Eligibility

Status
COMPLETED
Sex
All
Target Recruitment
65
Inclusion Criteria
  1. Histologically confirmed inoperable and/or metastatic adenocarcinoma of the oesophagogastric junction or stomach
  2. Progression of a measurable lesion (RECIST) on previous palliative chemotherapy. Neoadjuvant/adjuvant treatment is not counted, unless progression occurs < 6 months after completion of the treatment. In these cases, neoadjuvant/adjuvant treatment is counted as one line.
  3. Male and female patients aged > 18 years
  4. ECOG ≤ 1
  5. neutrophils ≥ 1500/µl
  6. Haemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dl
  7. Platelets ≥ 100,000/µl
  8. AST/SGOT and/or ALT/SGPT ≤2.5 x ULN;
  9. Total bilirubin ≤1.0 x ULN
  10. Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 times the normal value, or creatinine clearance ≥ 60 ml/min
  11. Written patient informed consent
Exclusion Criteria
  1. A history of severe hypersensitivity to taxanes (≥ grade 3) or to medicinal products containing polysorbate 80 (≥ grade 3)
  2. Active CAD, cardiomyopathy or NYHA stage III-IV heart failure
  3. Malignant secondary disease dating back < 5 years (exceptions: in situ cervical carcinoma, appropriately treated basal cell carcinoma of the skin)
  4. Severe secondary internal diseases, including uncontrolled diabetes mellitus or an acute infection
  5. Concomitant medication or planned treatment with strong CYP450 3A4/5 inducers or inhibitors (list of medicinal products in the appendix) or the relevant medicinal products were not discontinued a minimum of one week before treatment
  6. Peripheral polyneuropathy > NCI grade II
  7. Severe hepatic impairment (AST/ALT > 2.5 x ULN, , bilirubin > 1 x ULN)
  8. Chronic inflammatory bowel disease
  9. Participation in another study
  10. Pregnancy or lactation

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Disease Control Rate (DCR)up to 17 months

Patients are staged every 6 weeks during therapy (after cycle 2, 4 and 6, i.e. up to 18 weeks) and during follow-up (up to 12 months)

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Overall survival (OS)up to 17 months

From date of randomization until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 17 months

Progression-free survival (PFS)up to 17 months

From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 17 months

Response rate by subgroup (with and without previous treatment with a taxane)up to 17 months

Patients are staged every 6 weeks during therapy (after cycle 2, 4 and 6, i.e. up to 18 weeks) and during follow-up (up to 12 months)

Correlation of circulating tumor cells with PFS and OSup to 18 weeks

samples for analysis of circulating tumor cells are taken before therapy, before every new cycle, and at the end of treatment (every 3 weeks).
