NCT00680901

Brief Summary

This was an international multi-center trial that enrolled patients with locally advanced, unresectable, or metastatic gastric, esophageal, or gastro-esophageal junction cancer whose tumors had amplification of the ErbB2 (HER2) gene. The trial investigated whether lapatinib, when added to the chemotherapy regimen, capecitabine plus oxaliplatin (CapeOx), extended the time to progression and overall survival. Tumor ErbB2 (HER2) status had to be known before trial entry. CapeOx was administered to all patients, and patients were randomly assigned to receive either lapatinib or placebo.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Overall Survival at the Time of Primary Analysis

    Overall Survival was defined as the time from randomization to death from any cause. Participants who had not died were censored at their follow-up visit, either because follow-up had ended or was still ongoing.

    From date of randomization till death due to any cause, assessed up the cut-off date for Primary Analysis (24-Sep-2012) (average of 4 years)

  • Overall Survival in All Randomized Participants at the Time of Primary Analysis

    Overall Survival was defined as the time from randomization to death from any cause. Participants who had not died were censored at their follow-up visit, either because follow-up had ended or was still ongoing.

    From date of randomization till death due to any cause, assessed up the cut-off date for Primary Analysis (24-Sep-2012) (average of 4 years)

Secondary Outcomes (15)

  • Overall Survival at the Time of Final Analysis

    From date of randomization till death due to any cause, assessed up the cut-off date for Final Analysis (03-Oct-2024) (average of 16 years)

  • Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    From date of randomization till the earliest date of disease progression or death due to any cause, assessed up the cut-off date for Final Analysis (03-Oct-2024) (average of 16 years)

  • Percentage of Participants With a Confirmed Complete Response (CR) or a Partial Response (PR)

    From date of randomization till the date of the first documented response of CR or PR, assessed up the cut-off date for Final Analysis (03-Oct-2024) (average of 16 years)

  • Percentage of Participants With Clinical Benefit (CB)

    From date of randomization till date of disease progression (PD) or death due to any cause, assessed up the cut-off date for Final Analysis (03-Oct-2024) (average of 16 years)

  • Time to Response (TTR)

    From date of randomization till the first documented evidence of confirmed CR or PR, assessed up the cut-off date for Final Analysis (03-Oct-2024) (average of 16 years)

Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Histologically confirmed gastric adenocarcinoma or adenocarcinoma of the esophagus or gastro-esophageal junction.
  • Gastric cancer that is unresectable due to locally advanced (defined as stage IV: T4N1-3 or TanyN3), metastatic, or locally recurrent disease; Esophageal cancer that is unresectable due to locally advanced (T3N1 or T4Nany), metastatic or locally recurrent disease.
  • Measurable or non-measurable, but radiologically evaluable disease, according to RECIST.
  • HER2 amplification by FISH assessed by the local or designated central laboratory; Subjects with unknown HER2 status were not eligible.
  • Adequate organ function, as defined in the study protocol, assessed within 14 days prior randomization.
  • Cardiac ejection fraction within institutional range of normal as measured by echocardiogram (ECHO).
  • Prior/Concurrent Therapy:
  • At least 3 weeks following major surgery, such as gastrectomy, and were recovered from any related toxicity More than 5 years since prior chemotherapy for malignancy other than GC. At least 4 weeks since prior radiotherapy
  • More than 5 years since prior biologic or hormonal therapy or immunotherapy for malignancy other than gastric carcinoma.

You may not qualify if:

  • Pregnant or lactating females at any time during the study.
  • Known history of active CNS disease.
  • Uncontrolled ascites.
  • Concurrent anti-cancer therapy (chemotherapy, radiation therapy other than for pain relief, immunotherapy, biologic therapy, hormonal therapy or surgery) while taking investigational treatment.
  • Gastric carcinoid, epidermoid, sarcomas, or squamous cell carcinoma.
  • Prior palliative chemotherapy for the treatment of gastric cancer.
  • Prior treatment with oxaliplatin-based neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy completed \<12 months.
  • Malabsorption syndrome or uncontrolled inflammatory gastrointestinal disease (such as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis).
  • Known history of uncontrolled or symptomatic angina, arrhythmias, or congestive heart failure.
  • Uncontrolled infection.
  • History of other malignancy. However, subjects who were disease-free for 5 years, or subjects with a history of a completely resected non-melanoma skin cancer or successfully treated in situ carcinoma, were eligible.
