Brief Summary

Current therapies for Stomach Cancer provide very limited benefit to the patient. The anti-cancer properties of Antineoplaston therapy suggest that it may prove beneficial in the treatment of Stomach Cancer. PURPOSE: This study is being performed to determine the effects (good and bad) that Antineoplaston therapy has on patients with Stomach Cancer.

Study Arms (1)

Antineoplaston therapy

EXPERIMENTAL

Antineoplaston therapy (Atengenal + Astugenal) by IV infusion every four hours for at least 12 months. Study subjects receive increasing dosages of Atengenal and Astugenal until the maximum tolerated dose is reached.

Drug: Antineoplaston therapy (Atengenal + Astugenal)

Interventions

Antineoplaston therapy (Atengenal + Astugenal)DRUG

Patients with Stomach Cancer will receive Antineoplaston therapy (Atengenal + Astugenal). The daily doses of A10 and AS2-1 are divided into six infusions, which are given at 4-hourly intervals. Each infusion starts with infusion of A10 and is immediately followed by infusion of AS2-1.

Also known as: A10 (Atengenal); AS2-1 (Astugenal)
