Phase 2

Registration Number
NCT02949258
Lead Sponsor
Jinling Hospital, China
Brief Summary

Scirrhous gastric cancer, also known as linitis plastic or Borrmann type 4, is an aggressive tumor with an extremely poor prognosis. Aggressive surgical procedures and adjuvant chemotherapies have not improved the survival rate. The purpose of this study is to determine whether neoadjuvant Chemotherapy with SEEOX regimen via intra-arterial and intravenous administration are effective in the treatment of Borrmann type 4 gastric cancer.

Detailed Description

Gastric cancer patients who diagnosed as Borrmann type 4 would be included in this study.They would receive 3 cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy with SEEOX regimen via combined intra-arterial and intravenous administration. The treatment schedule consisted of 3 courses (each, 2-week administration and 1-week withdrawal) of intra-arterial administration of oxaliplatin (150mg), etoposide (100mg) and epirubicin(30mg) by Seldinger method on day 1 and oral S-1(120mg) on days 1-14, followed by radical surgery.The efficacy and toxicity of SEEOX regimen would be examined.

SEEOX groupS1A three-cycle neoadjuvant chemotherapy will be performed in all cases. In every cycle, oxaliplatin 150 mg, etoposide 100 mg and epirubicin 50 mg will be administered from the celiac artery on day 1. Oral S-1 120 mg per day will be given for days 1-14. The second cycle will be scheduled following a 1-week rest after the first cycle.After two courses of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, patients will be reevaluated and receive curative or palliative resection or exploratory laparotomy within 14 days after completing the second course of chemotherapy.
