NCT02076594

Brief Summary

This is a randomized, parallel group, non-blinded phase III trial. Patients with advanced (locoregional or metastatic) gastric cancer not previously treated with chemotherapy for this stage will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive low-TOX (arm A) or EOX (arm B). Randomization will be stratified by performance status (ECOG 0, 1 and 2).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    To determine the progression free survival (PFS) of patients with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic gastric cancer treated with Docetaxel plus Oxaliplatin plus Capecitabine (Arm A) or with Epirubicin plus Oxaliplatin plus Capecitabine (Arm B)

    Measured as the time from randomization to the date of local or regional progression, distant metastasis, second primary malignancy or death, assessed up to 18 months of follow up

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Overall Survival (OS)

    Measured as the time from randomization to the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 18 months of follow up

  • Objective Response Rate (CR + PR) according to RECIST 1.1 guideline

    Measured as the time from randomization, assessed up to 18 months of follow up

  • Disease control rate: CR + PR + SD lasting > 12 weeks

    Measured as the time from randomization, assessed up to 18 months of follow up

  • Tolerability of the treatments evaluated in term of occurrence of: side effects graded according to the NCI-CTCAE scale (version 4.0); serious adverse reactions, expected and unexpected

    Measured as the time from randomization, assessed up to 18 months of follow up
