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
Study Arms (2)
Docetaxel & Oxaliplatin & Capecitabine
EXPERIMENTALPatients will receive cycles every 3 weeks of Docetaxel (35 mg/ m2, intravenous at days 1 and 8 by 1-hour infusion)and Oxaliplatin (80 mg/ m2, intravenous at day 1 by 2-hour infusion) and Capecitabine (750 mg/ m2, oral tablets of 500 and 150 mg, x2 daily for 2 weeks)
Epirubicin & Oxaliplatin & Capecitabine
